Private Residence, Pelham, NY

This 4,300 SF single family, custom designed for a private client, was tailored to fit seamlessly into its diverse surroundings. Existing houses on the block were built in a variety of architectural styles—Mediterranean, Tudor, Normandy, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival. The new Georgian Revival style house—built on an empty lot—references Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and Palladio. The house integrates smoothly into the neighborhood, a major concern of the community.

Although the house was built with traditional materials, the methods of construction were entirely modern and the resulting structure is filled with the amenities suitable to contemporary family life.
