Historic District Lewes Delaware

This new house was designed to fit proudly within the historic context of the District without pretending to be historic. The roof line is brought down low to reduce the scale of the second floor with the shed dormers moved forward over the exterior wall to increase the usable area of the second floor. The modest front porch is celebrated with a delicate trellis motif that is repeated in the transom windows of the screen porch in the back. This is actually Phase-1 of a 2 phase process. A future Phase-2 will add another 2-story bedroom addition wing to the left in this picture to finish out the symmetrical design centered on the front door.

Placing the screen porch over the deck was an efficient way to push the sun deck above the shade of the trees. The transom lattice matches the lattice on the front porch to tie the architectural elements together into a cohesive design.

That is me in the reflection of the glass taking a picture of my son. It is best to step down from the interior to the exterior deck so that snow does not build up against the door. This deck provides an opportunity for the home owner to get up close the white band board detailing and interesting...

The modest kitchen is made more grand by the symmetry, the detailing and the openness to the living room. The view to the kitchen is framed with a trimmed opening that defines the spaces without separating them. The stainless steel appliances are contained within the white cabinetry with side...

Small jewel windows bookend the master bed wall. Simple symmetry combined with robust trim can turn an ordinary place into a composed scene of classic comfort.
