This project involved the conversion of a timber frame horse barn into a space accommodating a variety of uses including a basketball court, a game room, a pub/lounge, a pottery studio and gallery, a wine cellar, and a variety of loft spaces. Significant structural modifications were required to provide column-free court space. The well-insulated building envelope allowed the original sheathing to remain exposed within by applying wall and roof panels to the exterior frame. The basketball hoop swings-up to improve the view outside. A sliding interior barn-door system was developed to protect the large windows and doors behind the hoop.

Housewright took this classic cottage style home circa 1940s and gave it a fresh new look! We started the project by removing a wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room area. When we removed this wall, we discovered an old, long ago buried brick chimney. We removed a window and added a sliding patio door to allow more natural lighting within the kitchen. In addition we also widened an adjacent stairwell and updated lighting in the kitchen and bathrooms. Housewright made the home more efficient by improving the home insulation envelope, the lighting fixtures and updating the heating system.
