ANTIQUE REMIX
ANTIQUE REMIX
ANDOVER, MA
Our renovation and addition project for this 1840 Andover farmhouse was a special undertaking. The owners (one of which is a commercial architect) worked closely with HDB to develop a design that respectfully knitted together the antique house and their modern aesthetic. Scope of work included a new mudroom addition, rearranging several first floor spaces including kitchen and powder room to create better circulation and maximize daylight, and reimagining the exterior aesthetic with completely new siding, trim, and windows. To improve interior flow we flip-flopped dining room and kitchen areas in the new layout. The powder room hasn’t changed location, but is now accessed from the enlarged mudroom addition instead of the kitchen. The details were important for this family, so we completely reframed the dining room floor to eliminate thresholds from the four entrances into the space and reframed the new kitchen ceiling for a vaulted, airy room which was very desirable in an otherwise low ceilinged antique home. The reclaimed wood at the dining room to bar area threshold is a reused of original sheathing and the pass through window from the kitchen to living room was an original window location in the antique farm house. On the exterior our siding selection stayed true to historic New England materials, but the color selection of shou sugi ban black is modern.
