Westchester Colonial.

This project is a complete redesign of an existing colonial style house in Westchester, New York.

Title:: Westchester Colonial
Architect:: Fougeron Architecture
Category:: Residential/; Renovations and Extensions
Photographers:: Fougeron Architecture

We re-skinned the house by changing all exterior materials and windows and also added a new living room space. The placement of the living room addition takes advantage of views of the trees and water beyond.

Project Gallery

The formal dining and living rooms are situated on two levels to help break up the size of the space. The living room is situated in the back to allow for easy access to the pool and yard.

Corner windows bring light deep into rooms, helping to modernize the look of the house. The interior of the first floor includes a new kitchen with breakfast dining area for everyday use. A chalkboard wall in the back becomes a place for family messages and artistic expressions by friends.

The canted roof and tall widows open up views of the beautiful maple trees in the backyard. The geometry of the living room addition varies from that of the existing house to add contrast and variety to the overall design.

Fougeron Architecture. Since 1985, FOUGERON ARCHITECTURE is a nationally recognized design firm whose work exhibits a strong commitment to clarity of thought, design integrity, and quality of architectural detail. The firm's decidedly modernist attitude is the result of founder Anne Fougeron's vision to create a practice dedicated to finding the perfect alignment between architectural idea and built form. Her work can be defined by three basic tenets: Architectural space is modulated by the quality and character of natural light. Innovative use of structure becomes the architectural ornament. Exploration into the visual and tactile nature of materials enhances how people engage a building.
