In 2009 I was asked by my neighbor, an antique dealer who had just purchased the old Nonesuch House, to help him with the design of the addition that he was planning for the rear of the wonderful early 19th century home. Over the years various additions had been made to the building and all were terribly designed and finally deteriorated to the point where they did not make a positive contribution to the new owner's living requirements.

By the time that I entered into the project, a foundation had been poured. No plans were made beyond that. My challenge was to integrate the addition with the existing structure, balance the façade design with the existing and solve a difficult roof connection.

My client loved the 19th century building and had the intuitive design sense to be able to make good decisions. Being a successful antiques dealer he had good taste as well. We worked well together and the scope of my involvement in the project turned out to be more then initially anticipate. It turned out to be a project that we both are proud of.
