Renovations and additions to this former carriage barn mix new and old in an easy assemblage designed for contemporary living. Large scale windows and sliding glass doors, carefully placed for privacy, create light-filled living spaces that easily extend into the landscaped garden. Texture, color, and a mix of storage and display cabinets animate rooms. High efficiency systems and tight insulated construction reduce the environmental impact of the renewed building. Tucked away on a wooded lot, yet convenient to urban services, the renovated barn honors its rural predecessor while celebrating present-day living.
