Reproduction House
This client asked us to help them achieve a life-long dream to create a new “old” house that would look like it had been originally built in 1790 and substantially expanded in 1830.
The couple had salvaged building materials and collected antiques throughout their lives. The challenge was to insert their found objects – including fieldstone, brick, wood timbers, a staircase, paneled doors, and iron hardware – into the house.
We were challenged to find craftsmen able to fabricate highly custom details, such as reproduction windows using salvaged window glass, hand-carved stone sinks with pump faucets, and refrigerator cabinetry featuring painted Pennsylvania Dutch motifs.
The result is a stunning work of museum-quality craftsmanship, where state-of the-art technology is carefully integrated into or hidden within the building design.
Green” features include use of a ground source heat pump to heat and cool the building and incorporation of salvaged materials.
