This two bedroom guest house sits on a ten acre estate with an eclectic colonial-craftsman revival mansion, a pool house and accessory building. Due to a conservation easement, the size and shape of the guest house must remain unchanged. The building is in a state of disrepair and its post-modern styling clashes with the surrounding buildings. To compliment the mansion without duplicating its style, the new design reimagines this getaway as a vintage-looking barn with reclaimed vertical wood siding, and a standing seam metal roof. A juxtaposition of styles between inside and out allows the barn to sit unobtrusively in the landscape while the modern, interiors serve as a pleasant surprise offering generous sunlit rooms with large expanses of new, but authentic steel framed, divided lite windows.
