Castle Hill

A marriage of old and new, this project’s scope consisted of a 3-story addition and a sweep of updates to the original side of the home.  The client strongly desired an infusion of their treasured pieces into the space.  Antiques were carefully restored and a new fireplace surround was created to anchor an inherited Norman Rockwell.  The aim was a collected feel.  As project manager, I served as the main point of contact for the client, GC, and subcontractors, overseeing budget and timeline for execution.  As lead designer, I spearheaded the conceptual direction, led the development of all interior drawings (including custom millwork), and sourced materials on both construction and furnishings. 

The raw and unfiltered story of this project is that it was a critical step in my education as a designer, being a case where new build meets renovation meets retrofit meets how do I make all of this make sense together…

And I made the mistake of ordering metal mesh without first seeing a sample - it turned out to be industrial-grade. And a happy accident.
