Initially,
our clients wanted help renovating the
kitchen in the main house of a century-old
lakeside summer compound. Together, we
proceeded to look at the entire house, then
the entire compound.
Eventually, we relocated and adapted the old
kitchen as a free-standing ceramics studio.
We then created a new entry and mud room,
bathroom, laundry, office, and kitchen, with
a guest room tucked above. Finally, we
reworked the front porch and extended its
broad stairs to the lawn, splaying them for
both ease of use and grace.
Removing a bit of the primitive and adding
elements of function and comfort, we have
reinforced the spirit of the original
compound.
