Berkshire Farmhouse
What was initially slated as a large farmhouse renovation quickly turned into a major new construction project after an electrical fire swept through the home just weeks before we were scheduled to begin.

Our team quickly pivoted and redesigned the home, keeping the original footprint but dramatically improving the floor plan to ensure a more efficient flow and bring in significantly more light than the previous home.
It was important to the client that we reincorporate some of the elements they had loved in their previous home. To achieve this, we mimicked the wide-plank reclaimed oak floors and added antique barn beams, reminiscent of a historic Berkshire home. Plaster walls throughout softened the interior and gave the space an overall glow. The expansive kitchen was custom-built, featuring a large pantry and an eat in-breakfast area.
Zones were created for cooking, baking, and prep work, with a mix of Vermont Danby and Pietra Cardosa stone finishing the space. Ensuite bathrooms in the upstairs bedrooms enhance the comfort of the home and provide guests with a private retreat during their Berkshire visit. Custom furnishings, built locally, along with window treatments and custom upholstery, layered the space to create a timeless feel.
