SMITH ROAD RENOVATION, Ashfield, Massachusetts
Carpenters began by stripping this Early American farmhouse down to its post and beam frame. Working with the existing footprint, a large two bay garage was converted into a family room, laundry and second floor master suite. While maintaining privacy along the north road side of the house, the south portion is flooded with natural light. Interior spaces were aligned with certain viewpoints to showcase the owners art collection. The exterior is clad in natural eastern white cedar shingles.
