This reconstruction substantially reorders first and second floor plans, with an assertive new roof configuration, new doors and windows, structural upgrades, and a welcoming entrance with barn-style sliding storm door and expressive shed roof. The simple square fenestration, soaring interior volumes, and absence of trim, give the entire great room living space a contemporary feel. The master bedroom, guest room, and office, are located on the second floor with access via a balcony overlook. Serving as their own private art gallery, this spare interior is graced with the owner’s African artifacts and photography.
