Farm houses

Perched atop a hill overlooking a remarkable valley with Frederick Church’s Olana in the distance, this 1761 Dutch stone farmhouse was restored after peeling back years of vinyl and Formica clad additions.  This hidden jewel on a working farm along the Hudson Valley was transformed into a weekend home for New Yorkers, while the farm and original barns were maintained on the property. The significant age of the original Colonial farmhouse is no mystery. The iron tie rods that hold the roof together spell out 1761, signaling the year the home was built. The attic floor was removed to open up the ceiling exposing the original oak beams to become the Great Room of the house, comprising a spacious living and dining area. Views of the... Mais

National monumental farm Walik, a former cow and horse stable has been converted over the centuries into an inhabited farm. The exterior has little historical value due to the many changes and renovation, but the interior is largely intact. That is why, partly over the existing window openings, a new masonry shell and wooden slats are installed on the outside of the farm. A variant new window is added to the stone front. This gives a direct view on the surrounding landscape with the newly laid natural garden from the dining room. The morning sun comes in.   The spatial experience in the interior is central, while preserving the authentic elements such as the brick walls and the oak truss. The design of a large interior with open conn... Mais

Located in rural western Sonoma County, the project was to replace an aging garage and add an artist studio to a pre 1900’s farm house. The design used the simple prefabricated Quonset hut roof raised on a 6 foot high concrete stem wall.The two buildings, each 20ft by 36ft, have end walls with 10x12 openings, a glass garage door and 3 folding patio doors. This allows for flexibility of use and integration of the landscape. The front structure, the garage or “car temple” as the owner calls it, exposes the ribs and the concrete on the interior. Imbedded in the concrete stem wall exterior is a stone wall sculpture from Borobudur, Indonesia.   The artist studio, of the same construction, has concrete stem walls in...

Context and setting La Maison Gauthier is located in the Laurentians, in Quebec, near the town of Mont-Tremblant. It is set in a hilly terrain and is surrounded by a dense expanse of forest characteristic of this mountainous region. The lot is located on a rocky hill covered with spruce and birch. It is bounded to the east by the main road and to the west by the owners’ horse farm. The clients wanted a volume with views largely oriented towards the horses’ riding arena below.

The volume i... Mais
