PROGRAM:

7500 sq.ft. Ranch Mansion inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style of architecture, set among a 7 acre plot of pines and ash, cedar and elm trees. The mansion contains 5 bedrooms, living and entertaining areas, a pool wing, a summer room set away from the kitchen and a partial basement. The Clients wanted to better integrate the summer room with the main kitchen area to create a large family area, improve the landscape between this new family area and the existing living area, remodel the basement and convert two ground floor bedrooms into a single master suite.

CONCEPT:

The changes involved both structural and interior changes, however the premise was to design all new interventions in harmony of the original design while modernizing appliances and MEP systems.

MATERIALS:

The material palette extended the feel of the original structure (wood, glass and brick) with similarly compatible materials.
