Renovation, Beacon, NY

This project called for a gut renovation of a house in Beacon NY.  The 1860 house had suffered neglect for years and had none of the original details left in the building.  The renovation exposed the original timber frame structure that became a focus for the design.  The interventions into the space were modern to contrast with the rough texture and history of the original building.  Steel support beams required when the space was opened up informed a palate of glass and steel, including a display case that also serves as a screen between the kitchen and bathroom.
