Projects

These are the projects we publish: completed, in long-term stewardship, and under construction now. A Federal house in Salisbury restored room by room, a Weston colonial put back on its proportions, a chasa in the Engadin returned to its sgraffito facade and stube, a Lombard cascina worked the way Peregalli works in the lakes, and a Greenwich Shingle Style compound built new to read as inherited from the first winter. The work moves between restoration and new build under one specification: hand-troweled lime over plaster grounds, fumed oak and reclaimed chestnut, fieldstone laid in lime mortar, unlacquered bronze, ceramic stoves and Rumford hearths, and a named workshop behind every fixed material. Read the index as a monograph table of contents. Each card carries the region, the scope, and one material line that places the house. For private homeowners and family offices restoring inherited fabric in Greenwich, Litchfield County, the Engadin, and the Italian lakes.
