We have several interesting projects developing at Fivecat Studio, so I thought I would start sharing some of them with you.
We’ve been working with a couple in Chappaqua, for several years now, developing a master plan for their home on King Street. The house was originally built by the Ginsberg family in the late 1920’s. Mr. Ginsberg owned much of the land along what is now Rt. 120.
The King Street House project, which I have shared previously, was built for one of Mr. Ginsberg’s sons and the home we are currently working on (photos below) was built for the other son.
The first phase of the master plan is to add a new entry porch, replace the roof, restore the wood trim and refinish the existing stucco. This phase is just about complete, so here are some before and after photos.
Before
After (actually it’s not yet complete, as you can see by the scaffolding still hanging from the rear wall)
The new porch includes a mahogany roof deck accessed from the master bedroom, 14″ composite columns from Chadsworth and a limestone landing & steps. The diamond detail in the limestone refers to the existing marble tile floor in the entry foyer.
As we complete the remaining phases, I will post more photos. I will also begin sharing some of our other work, so make sure you subscribe to my blog feed by clicking the link on the upper right corner. Once you sign up, Feedburner will send you updates each time I post a new entry.
