Stephen Moser asked architects to update a 50 ranchers on the western outskirts of Saxon Woods Park, New York, USA. The client '; s wanted their Mamaroneck house to expand horizontally to a new office, family room and pool and accommodate vertically for a new master suite. The homeowners'; s didn '; t want any "look" to their updated home - they wanted a place that has the same aesthetic as a treehouse on stilts, who had previously built for her grandchildren. In other words, all that - especially the orientation of the tree house and the materials, interior and exterior silhouette like. Continue reading about this cozy house that we found on Freshome.
The game is like the number 4 is formed (without an extension) and is accessed from the street through the vertical leg of the 4 that other 3 sides surrounded by parkland. Surrounded on 3 sides by nature, the customer. '; S wanted their home completely harmoniously into the surrounding landscape feel trees
The access goes the leg of the 4 front curves to the bevelled corner on the left side, house is diagonally across from this positioning section the amount, creating a triangular turn around for cars, and it is from this standpoint that inspired the first of Treehouse elements is visible on the double master steel support post at the corner of the entry slope.
Once inside the home, a vertically louvered wooden wall creates a separation from the foyer into the new, glass packed family room and that's where the Wooden treehouse really begins influence, take place, but in a much finer manner. Don '; T you just love the horizontal shelf field within the slat wall
The new office is equipped with a wood paneled ceiling, floor, trim and storage completed. There is nothing pleasant then work filled with views overlooking a wooded landscape in an environment with wood detailing. It is both inspiring and cozy and if you add in the functionality of the large expanses of worktops, is also great works.
The new pool Solarium has the same cozy wooden ceilings as an office and a wooden wall, which revels in the aesthetics of the building hide rather then. Apart from these two areas covered wood, solarium holds the original brick facade - this is now an interior wall while glazing create the new facade
A hallway connects the ground floor expansion to the original plan and the whole order and doors here - as in the rest of the home - are wood that warm and cozy, aesthetic continue. Once the hardscaping was completed, the homeowner gave the room a contemporary gallery feel of the walls with the art -. That just happens, my favorite look in a hall to be
The original part of the house has been decorated to create a duplicate disk area where the new staircase leads to the new master suite opens , The room has original walls, new wood floors, new slatted wooden walls and a deep rose wall, the colors in the brick ties. Here, as in the new hall, paintings on the walls and a deep shelf has a range of glass and pottery.
The architects took advantage of the double volume height by hanging a contemporary chandelier of oversized glass beads and the homeowner continues to this little bit of whimsy with their funny Watermelon painting on the steps. The staircase is both traditional in its wooden risers, steps and handrail, and modern in its Crossed balustrade that connects beautifully with the pale walls across the hall.
At the top of the stairs, a mezzanine has low cubbies for plenty of storage space and clerestory windows for natural light.
The bedroom is all about the views that can be enjoyed inside or outside on the fabulous deck.
your own retains its privacy tiled paneled walls, but to "suggest" the tree line outside, a funny wallpaper green enveloped the room across the tiles.
The new flat sloping roof combines the existing 50er Rancher with the addition, during the new 2-story volume adds in a pitched roof, are the house a modern punctuation. It ';. Sa big room, and I love all wooden details, which were combined with the original brickwork
