A new “Old House” influenced by the graciousness and grandeur of southern manor houses complete with traditional details and materials. The project was designed to reflect construction over several generations in the hopes that it will acquire the soul of the past. The connected structures were intended to denote hierarchy as well as imply an order of historic construction to create a rich history for the home in spite of its modern provenance.
The editors said: “This home represents an inspired use of four-square architecture as a base and then innovates with an extended floorplan customized specifically to enhance the owners’ lifestyle and their needs as they go forward in the home. This project gets points for executing these goals by creating wings purposely extending from the main house in a manner that looks as if the original structure had been there all along and grew in size and stature, in the nature that grand old manor homes do.”
