This home is located in an upscale Nassau County Village and was purchased by the homeowners due to its beautiful rolling property. However the existing home was far from ideal which presented the objective: Create a large home for their growing family while maintaining a modest scale that interacts well with the surrounding landscape.
The second floor was expanded by lengthening the main ridge of the home and thoughtfully placing reverse gable dormers to maximize room size. The introduction of a stone watertable minimizes the stature of the home and bright, sustainable materials and traditional architectural detailing give this home the understated feel the homeowners were looking for.
