With the owner of this historic Westport home having a strong background in Design and Sculpture, Sixteen on Center was a natural fit to complete the extensive renovation. While much of the scope of this renovation focused on updating and restoring the existing spaces, the project also included replacing a mid-century sunroom addition that had reached the end of its lifespan with a new entryway into the home. The footprint of the addition was to remain similar to the removed space, but would also include a new full bathroom and laundry area. Simultaneously, a large shed dormer was added to the front (east) face of the house, expanding the existing bedrooms.
The exterior appearance of the home was to be kept classic New England, but the interior was given a mix of modern European and traditional Early American styles. This contrast, along with the awesome natural light and bright spaces, makes this home an inviting place to escape the city, relax, and let the artistic inspiration grow.
