When Cummings Architects first met with the owners of this understated country farmhouse, the building’s layout and design was an incoherent jumble. The original bones of the building were almost unrecognizable. All of the original windows, doors, flooring, and trims – even the country kitchen – had been removed. Mathew and his team began a thorough design discovery process to find the design solution that would enable them to breathe life back into the old farmhouse in a way that acknowledged the building’s venerable history while also providing for a modern living by a growing family. The redesign included the addition of a new eat-in kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, wrap around porch, and stone fireplaces. To begin the transforming restoration, the team designed a generous, twenty-four square foot kitchen addition with custom, farmers-style cabinetry and timber framing. The team walked the homeowners through each detail the cabinetry layout, materials, and finishes. Salvaged materials were used and authentic craftsmanship lent a sense of place and history to the fabric of the space. The new master suite included a cathedral ceiling showcasing beautifully worn salvaged timbers. The team continued with the farm theme, using sliding barn doors to separate the custom-designed master bath and closet. The new second-floor hallway features a bold, red floor while new transoms in each bedroom let in plenty of light. A summer stair, detailed and crafted with authentic details, was added for additional access and charm. Finally, a welcoming farmer’s porch wraps around the side entry, connecting to the rear yard via a gracefully engineered grade. This large outdoor space provides seating for large groups of people to visit and dine next to the beautiful outdoor landscape and the new exterior stone fireplace. Though it had temporarily lost its identity, with the help of the team at Cummings Architects, this lovely farmhouse has regained not only its former charm but also a new life through beautifully integrated modern features designed for today’s family.

When we moved into our home, we had this amazingly large great room (35′ x 26′) that was devoid of features providing architectural weight, warmth and function. We wanted a place for a large TV but did not want to hang it over the fireplace. We wanted a way to divide the space into three important zones—dining room, living room, and a more intimate kitchen table. And we wanted to find a way to embrace the grandness of the room while still creating an intimate vibe.The key to working in this big space was respecting the scale of pieces required to appropriately fill the room and make the design work harmoniously. By the time we closed on the house, we had constructed an amazing built-in bookcase to go across the long wall of the room with molding detail to match the existing case openings. It provides storage, a place for the TV, and a wonderful way to bring color and personality into the room. One of the next investments was the custom-built farmhouse dining room table—15′ long and 5′ wide—that seats 16 before its breadboard ends are extended to seat up to 20. With the beauty and visual weight that this table, paired with the china armoire, added to one side of the room, we needed to create balance and warmth on the other end of the space. I turned my attention to the fireplace, creating a herringbone design using salvaged flooring from the old Liggett & Myers tobacco building in Durham and an old barn beam as the mantle.

Richard Mandelkorn The original living room was an unfortunate addition from the late 1980s, and had almost no connection to the original farmhouse. This was fixed by a removal of a back stair leading to the master suite, and an expansion and re-alignment of some structural beams, allowing for a wide staircase connecting the two. The result is an open space that has visual connection through the kitchen and the porch outside.
