Long Island, NY  

We propose to add a 2-story tower in the southwestern corner of this traditional Long Island home. The proposed addition preserves the style of the original carriage house by the renowned architect Stanford White: traditional wood construction, colors and materials that are coherent with the existing structure. The first floor comprises an intimate living space complemented by a fireplace, bar, reading nook, home office and game table. The sun angles are calculated and the space is designed so that the morning sun floods the reading nook and the evening sun reflects in the mirrored walls of the bar nook. The second floor consists of a children’s’ playroom with a conical roof.
