Nestled among the colonial homes of
Litchfield county, this classic modernist
home was a new canvas for Imagine
Design. Its history was more recent, but
nonetheless significant-- although its
clean, minimalist lines were on the verge
of decay after years of standing empty.
With characteristic respect for the vision
of the original designer--- the renovation honors the spare geometries of the low slung
design. A design that is now in vogue again because of the way it harmonizes with the
landscape. Sliding glass doors and a wrap around deck open the home to its glorious
surroundings; the woods and mountains of Litchfield County.
Outside, stone walkways, new plantings and a new patio complement the simple
geometries of house and garage. Period light fixtures, furniture and even an old pop art ice
bucket that we found in the house were preserved and used in the restoration. And modern
comforts--- spa bathrooms, sauna, and a gourmet kitchen complete the picture.
