Greenwich Mediterranean

  

Renovation / Addition
Builder: Wernert Associates, Cos Cob CT

This project involved the demolition of an older one story addition to this historic Greenwich home from the 1890’s, and adding a new two story wing and garage in roughly the same footprint. The design worked out such that we were able to reuse the existing foundation from the existing wing, which saved considerable cost. Making a seamless addition involved matching existing roof details and custom brackets, and new stucco to match the existing.  The slate roof also had to be a perfect match.  The owner was also particular about windows, so we specified custom weight and chain double hung windows to match the old, and had the old ones upgraded to insulated glass, eliminating the need for the storm windows.

Inside, the kitchen was rebuilt in the same location but to a new design, and it is now the happy focus of the home.  It is surrounded by the family room and breakfast nook, and close to the stairs to the new bedrooms and playroom above.  A wet bar connects the kitchen and back hall to the older, formal part of the house, consisting of the dining room, front foyer and living room.

The scope of the project also included renovating much of the existing upstairs, including the master suite and guest bedroom, and inserting a laundry room.

After the main house was completed, we were tasked with converting the old chauffeur’s quarters into a guest house/home office for the owner, with a new bathroom, kitchenette, and office full of built-in cabinetry.
