This Old House

This spring we were fortunate enough to have a project of ours selected to be the next feature on PBS' venerable This Old House television show. Within weeks, the crew, including Norm, Kevin, Tom and Roger, had descended upon a tired Dutch Colonial in Newton, just outside Boston, to start bringing to life the additions and renovations we had drawn. Our project, for a wonderful family of four, was just right, it turns out, for the show at this particular moment: a modest reworking of a modest house, with budget issues and space constraints, yet executed with a bit of architectural flair.


This 3D model, which we prepared, shows what the additions to the rear of the house, will look like when the work is done. The large windows on the second floor, in the middle, are in the new library we have designed at the top of the existing stairs: just the right thing our clients, a professor and a writer. More on this project as the first episode airs in October!
