The idea of this house started with a site visit and a drawing in the dirt with a stick that happened to be laying around. As if the stick knew what needed to be there, that’s when this modern-day country house was born. With each articulation of the design, the story line became clearer. There was once a colonial revival style frontier house there, with a stable across the yard to the North.

The new story line tells the tale of the “original” colonial, masonry form where the front entry resides and the “stable” masonry form disguising the garage. In this tale, we took over to renovate the old farmstead and in doing so we made the window openings larger, simplified the detailing, and “added” the barn-like structure between the house and garage. The interiors of Jeritt follow suit with a gentle medley of old and new, historic and modern, playful and sophisticated, in a way that can’t exactly be described in style, only experienced. And what a great experience it is.
