Historic Renovation
New Canaan
WHEN OUR CLIENT bought this 19th-century Dutch colonial home, it had distinct character and sunset views, but needed to be updated to meet the needs of a modern family. Carefully laid-out roof lines and window proportions echo the vernacular of the original structure without overpowering it. Perpendicular to the main structure is an addition we designed to house a second-floor primary suite, which includes a large bathroom, plenty of storage, and even a secret “Christmas present” closet. On the ground floor, there is a three-car garage and a generous porte cochere.
