Filling in the pool allowed us to create flexible family space with a playroom and guest quarters. An addition atop the pool houses a gourmet kitchen, family room and a mud entry. Detailing inside and out respects and builds upon the historic character of the original antique home.

Not necessarily. Clark Construction's alternative to eliminate all existing water entry points and build a new 2 ½ car garage above the flood line was a more cost effective solution. Project also included a new master bedroom suite atop the existing garage.

This almost total rebuild provided an opportunity to re-jigger the floor plan, using modern materials to create a beautiful functional cottage, strong enough and high enough to more gracefully endure future weather events.

Probably yes, but see the picture perfect results.

Definitely, in the case of ancient framing. An eye for historic detail while attending to the extensive structural repairs brought this home back to its 16th century roots and garnered our clients a Historical Preservation Award from the New Canaan Preservation Alliance.

Circles and squares counterbalance, building off the vertical panel layout of a shoji screen. A major transformation for this 80's bath.

For these clients, the changing dynamic necessitated changes to form, function and the flow of the home to make it suited for the four of them. A new handsome kitchen transforms the space yet honors the home’s pedigree and its creator’s original vision.

Use fun archways with heavy detailing to define the transitions between rooms. One is arched. Others are square. A media room was added, and the main living area opened up, successfully balancing the elegance of additional millwork with the warmth of a cottage space.

Peel off architecturally ugly additions and return the home to its former dignity, bringing it up to date with all the amenities, and a historically appropriate design. A curved roof and covered porch tie together the new kitchen and master bath suites, and a carriage house style garage is added.

A comfortable basement with a place for every activity which saves the clients time and space.

Remove the back of the house and several disjointed additions.   Add architecturally appropriate structures.  Reconfigure the interior - relocating the kitchen centrally, optimizing the flow, size and usability of living spaces, while ensuring that historically appropriate details through out pull it all together.

What a challenge! Glass-topped knee walls create private areas while providing visual continuity between the spaces. Top with a Japanese flair for beautiful room that reminds our clients of their idyllic years in the Far East.
