- [Village House, Branford, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/village-house-branford-ct-pj-vj~1415658)
  - Location: Branford, CT
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: Situated in a small shoreline village, the original house was in such poor condition that it could not be restored. Additionally, the site’s property and setback restrictions resulted in a narrow building lot. To resolve the complex challenges of the project, a double gable configuration was derived, in a style reminiscent of a historic carriage house. The two major building elements are clad in different materials to reduce the scale and relate the residence to the varied materials of the neigh…

  - Description: Recipient of the 2022 AIA Connecticut Alice Washburn Award: Merit and Commendation for Interior Design / Additions / Renovations Located in the heart of Pine Orchard, this 1890s cottage underwent several unsuitable 20th century updates. In restoring the home, the owners asked that its redesign reflect the neighborhood’s shoreline character.

- [River House, Branford, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-house-branford-ct-pj-vj~1415862)
  - Location: Branford, CT
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: A heavily restricted site located on the Branford River dictated the narrow rectangular footprint of this new summer cottage. To minimize the verticality of the structure, the exterior of the first floor is clad in traditional cedar shingles and stained in light grey, while the upper level siding is painted white board and batten siding. Fenestration has been optimized throughout the home to afford views of the adjacent river and its natural beauty. Additionally, the design of the home includes…

The gable ends of the house feature triangular windows which permit natural light to enter the house and maximize the use of otherwise lost attic space.…

  - Description: Located in the Pine Orchard neighborhood of Branford, this L-shaped, two-winged structure was originally built as an early 19th century fire house to accommodate horse-drawn engines. It later served as a gas station and automotive repair garage. The reorganization of this two-story structure for residential living called for the home’s garage to be relocated to the street-side wing of the house. Fieldstone and warm gray stained cedar shingles now clad the home’s exterior. The welcoming main entr…
