http://www.svdesign.com

This Gambrel style residence has been completely upgraded to satisfy todays’ standards while restoring and reinforcing the original 1885 design. It began as a Summer Cottage accessible by train from Boston, and is now a year round residence. The essence of the structure was maintained, while enhancing every detail. The breadth of craftsmanship is evident throughout the home resulting in a comfortable and embellished aesthetic.

Does the gap at the bottom help with lighting? - I have been considering building a fire pit with gaps in the side to help illuminate the area around the pit and possibly help stoke the fire. The lighting was just a theory I had, but you may be able to shine some light on this idea! »

Siemasko + Verbridge Thanks for your question. Yes, the open area at the bottom is to help the fuel the fire.

Siemasko + Verbridge Thanks for your interest and I apologize for the delayed response. The chairs were purchased by the client. We don't have information on them.

This gorgeous contemporary layout makes great use of an awesome view! Don't have anything to look out on in the distance from your yard? Create a garden focal point and orient your sitting space to overlook that portion. Or, let the fire pit steal the show!
