Add-A-Barn Renovation
Holliston, MA
The new owner of this much abused Federal period home
wanted to restore the interior, reusing and replicating the simple detailing
of the original house. But there was also the need for additional space,
including a "Great Hall" for entertaining. The solution was
the addition of a timber frame "barn" with connector added
to the rear and side of the original house. The new centrally located
main entryis accessed from a parking area in the rear and opens onto
a spacious foyer that allows immediate access to all parts of the home.
The multi-talented owner is currently using the large woodworking shop
created in the lower level of the barn to custom-make new interior doors
for the addition which match the doors in the original house.
