mature garden containing dozens of oak trees that are older than the home, and a shade garden filled with ferns and mosses. Because every room in the house is completely open to the garden, the interior spaces have an intimate connection to the exterior from every angle, always in a dialogue with nature. In the morning, mist rises from the pond in the backyard, while afternoons fill the house with golden sunset light. The renovation of the home was done with great respect for its spirit. All original elements including flooring, fireplaces, stair and brickwork were carefully restored, while the kitchen area and bathrooms were modernized. The end result was a symbiosis between old and new. The design includes collaborations with unique high-end fixture and appliance companies and features a collection of important furniture and fine art that spans many periods and geographies, creating a harmony of the new with the old.
