This project for a builder husband and interior-designer wife involved adding onto and restoring the luster of a c. 1883 Carpenter Gothic cottage in Barrington that they had occupied for years while raising their two sons. They were ready to ditch their small tacked-on kitchen that was mostly isolated from the rest of the house, views/daylight, as well as the yard, and replace it with something more generous, brighter, and more open that would improve flow inside and out. They were also eager for a better mudroom, new first-floor 3/4 bath, new basement stair, and a new second-floor master suite above. The design challenge was to conceive of an addition and renovations that would be in balanced conversation with the original house without dwarfing or competing with it. The new cross-gable addition echoes the original house form, at a somewhat smaller scale and with a simplified more contemporary exterior treatment that is sympathetic to the old house but clearly differentiated from it. Renovations included the removal of replacement vinyl windows by others and the installation of new Pella black clad windows in the original house, a new dormer in one of the son’s bedrooms, and in the addition. At the first-floor interior intersection between the existing house and the addition, two new large openings enhance flow and access to daylight/view and are outfitted with pairs of salvaged oversized clear-finished wooden barn-slider doors that lend character and visual warmth. A new exterior deck off the kitchen addition leads to a new enlarged backyard patio that is also accessible from the new full basement directly below the addition.

Reconfiguration de l'espace d'entrée avec placard d'entrée pour les invités intégrant banc d'assise avec tiroirs et penderie (derrière les façades bois). Création d'un espace vestiaire privé avec rangement chaussures.

Pour cette famille de 5 personnes, qui avait envie d'un salon plus lumineux et plus accueillant pour recevoir leur nombreux amis, WherDeco a joué sur les perspectives afin de donner le sentiment d'avoir un salon plus grand, une cuisine plus présente dans la pièce de vie et du cachet dans un mix de styles, scandinave, vintage et contemporain.
