When a New York City couple with young children turned to architects Hendricks Churchill to update their weekend retreat, the firm gutted two thirds of the interiors to create a new layout that respects tradition, but also features the open spaces and flow that families prize today.
The renovation involved tearing out the main stairway, reorienting the foyer, installing extensive custom millwork and a dozen new windows, lowering the floors of the kitchen and pantry, and creating a spacious addition to the kitchen. Working with interior designer Kathryn Fagin of KJ Designs, the firm has crafted a home that is understated and clean-lined but still warm and welcoming.
