Remodeling "Renaissance Awards, Grand Award" - September 2000 Roots Spread Rambling farmhouses dot the New England countryside, many added on to over the years out of necessity, with each addition built in the style of its era. Keeping in mind the owners' admiration of Cape Cod's shingle-style homes, the designers of this project decided the 2,200-square-foot addition would, like its New England ancestors, transform as it meandered from its roots. "The complexity of what was involved was substantial, with the connecting lines and roof shapes," one judge said. "And the complexity was wonderfully solved." Where the addition touches the house, the fenestration follows the lines of the Federalist home. As the addition's lines move past the new entry porch, new window types and building forms are introduced. The master bedroom suite was built in a carriage house motif, with shingle-style influences--a highly pitched roof, deep eaves, protruding bays. But clapboard substitutes for shingles to keep the addition consistent with the main house. A turreted sunroom acts as a hub, off of which a wraparound porch and terrace extend. A rotunda connects other rooms at the addition's corner. Although the addition bears its own architectural stamp, traditional features integrate it inside. Bookshelves, wall paneling, window seats, and other details mimic those in the original home, and each provides an element of surprise and joy. Category: Additions Location: Byfield, Mass.
