Addition to Home in the Berkshires

Great Barrington Addition

New Entry Doors

We are primarily known for our new homes that respect the region’s vernacular architecture and tasteful additions, which often meld seamlessly with old homes and feel like they have always been there. When our client in the Berkshires asked us to design an addition that would contrast with her Classical Revival brick home, we were happy to accommodate her. We were asked to create a kitchen and butler’s pantry, a living room, a dining room, and a breakfast bay on the first floor, with a primary bath, family room, and spare room on the second floor.

The distinction between old and new is unmistakable, yet each seems to accentuate the character of the other.
