Modern Extension Ten Broeck Cottage by Messana O’Rorke

Ten Broeck Cottage by Messana O’Rorke
The aims for this project was to develop a modern house within the existing frame and extend the house to provide additional accommodations, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, exercise room with steam room and sauna. The rectilinear new form juxtaposed with original Dutch House creates clear representation to each design.

The design for the house developed organically; stripping back various additions and removing interior partitions from previous renovations revealed a classic house form, emulating a child’s perception of a house replete with four windows, a door, and sloped roof with a chimney on top.

The house was planned with two bed rooms and a bath room upstairs and a living room and dining room down stairs separated by a through wall fireplace. The addition contains the Kitchen, guest bedroom and shower room on the ground floor and an exercise room, sauna and steam room in the cellar. The cellar has a large glass door that looks out over the lawn to the orchard.

interested in knowing if you would agree to place a simple link on it.
