This was part of a major interior and exterior renovation of a 1920's Tudor house in Dobbs Ferry, NY. A previous renovation in the 70's had stripped away most of the original exterior wood details and had added plain modern widows with no casings or detail at all, culminating in a hideous 8'x8' plastic bubble skylight on the roof. So we embarked on a process of adding detail back into the house and we decided early on to pitch the style more in a Craftsman direction. We replaced all the windows and doors with pre-finished wood Norwood windows and doors, with simulated divided lites and enlarged head casings and sills. We re-wired and re-stucco'd the exterior, covering the previous sprayed on stucco with a new hand troweled smooth finish. We added a small gabled addition to the Kitchen wing which matched exactly a gable at the other side of the house and we redid all the flashing, gutters and leaders in copper. In the interior we renovated the ground floor including the Kitchen that you see. in the photos. The stone chimney was a happy find...previously covered in stucco which we had removed. We found a local mill in CT to custom cut the random width wide plank white oak floor boards which we installed with antique square face nails. The floor tiles in the Kitchen are actually salvaged 19th century Chicago building bricks, which were sliced to tile thickness and installed in a basketweave pattern. The fact we are most proud of with this project, is that all of this work was done within a 3 months construction schedule. We managed the construction together with our client, a filmmaker who was a wizard at running crews, and it all came together beautifully.....on a schedule we haven't seen before or since.
