English Country Estate

Scroll to view

Given the honor of designing a home that reflects tradition, authenticity, and integrity with modern livability, this estate home was custom designed for a family that is deeply connected to their storied European and Irish roots. This new home draws from the rich details found in English estates of the 1700-1900’s including custom millwork profiles and hand-carved masonry details. The design of this stately home is drawn for the comfort of casual elegance with formal and informal spaces feeling intimate and welcoming.
