Living Room

We were asked to design a total “gut Interior and exterior remodel” plus a Conservatory Addition for this former Yale President’s home on the edge of the Yale Campus. Now owned by a Yale med school professor and a physician, this home seemed to want to be much more of a charcter to match that of its owners.

A large multi-story house with a beige exterior, stone accents, arched windows, a front balcony, and a steep roof surrounded by tall trees and greenery.

Front

The Clients wanted something that only an Addition could provide: their list of wants included a Family Room/Kitchen/Conservatory, a new Master Bath with an Egyptian Alabaster tub and a Terrace for sun and air. Our design provided all of that, clothed in the New England Georgian style fitting to its neighborhood.

Five years later the couple, now with two children, headed to the suburbs, and reluctantly sold their home for nearly twice their total investment in the property.

A cozy, well-decorated office with antique wooden furniture, framed artwork on the walls, and a large window letting in natural light.

OFFICE
