Country Estate & Pool House

When a longtime client found a property where she could keep her horses, she called on my mentor, Donald Ratcliffe, who had already designed a large renovation for her. This country estate and pool house became his last project. I worked alongside both of them through the entire design process, and it was an honor to complete the home with her after he passed and see her vision through.

​

Every material is the real thing: Butler stone, slate and copper roofs, and reclaimed French hardwood floors. Inside, hand-troweled plaster walls, timber beams and arched openings give each room an Old World warmth. The client was wonderfully particular, and it was a pleasure working alongside her through all of the details.

I loved this home, and this client will always hold a special place in my heart.
