Carriage House—Studio

An example of a complete restoration of a Carriage House used as guest quarters, but such buildings also serve wonderfully as studio or home office spaces (in this case the main barn serves as a music and performance studio). The carriage house was dismantled leaving only two sound walls intact with new foundation work on the other two walls, which were rebuilt from the original stone.

Photos show some of the work in progress, and one shot shows the untouched back stone wall that was left with a pronounced curvature as the building was found. The fence defining the courtyard is laid up using rare recycled stone with joints tucked deep to give the appearance of a dry laid stone wall.
