Builder: J. Peterson Homes Interior Designer: Francesca Owens Photographers: Ashley Avila Photography, Bill Hebert, & FulView Capped by a picturesque double chimney and distinguished by its distinctive roof lines and patterned brick, stone and siding, Rookwood draws inspiration from Tudor and Shingle styles, two of the world’s most enduring architectural forms. Popular from about 1890 through 1940, Tudor is characterized by steeply pitched roofs, massive chimneys, tall narrow casement windows and decorative half-timbering. Shingle’s hallmarks include shingled walls, an asymmetrical façade, intersecting cross gables and extensive porches. A masterpiece of wood and stone, there is nothing ordinary about Rookwood, which combines the best of both worlds. Once inside the foyer, the 3,500-square foot main level opens with a 27-foot central living room with natural fireplace. Nearby is a large kitchen featuring an extended island, hearth room and butler’s pantry with an adjacent formal dining space near the front of the house. Also featured is a sun room and spacious study, both perfect for relaxing, as well as two nearby garages that add up to almost 1,500 square foot of space. A large master suite with bath and walk-in closet which dominates the 2,700-square foot second level which also includes three additional family bedrooms, a convenient laundry and a flexible 580-square-foot bonus space. Downstairs, the lower level boasts approximately 1,000 more square feet of finished space, including a recreation room, guest suite and additional storage.

The home is roughly 80 years old and had a strong character to start our design from. The home had been added onto and updated several times previously so we stripped back most of these areas in order to get back to the original house before proceeding. The addition started around the Kitchen, updating and re-organizing this space making a beautiful, simply elegant space that makes a strong statement with its barrel vault ceiling. We opened up the rest of the family living area to the kitchen and pool patio areas, making this space flow considerably better than the original house. The remainder of the house, including attic areas, was updated to be in similar character and style of the new kitchen and living areas. Additional baths were added as well as rooms for future finishing. We added a new attached garage with a covered drive that leads to rear facing garage doors. The addition spaces (including the new garage) also include a full basement underneath for future finishing – this basement connects underground to the original homes basement providing one continuous space. New balconies extend the home’s interior to the quiet, well groomed exterior. The homes additions make this project’s end result look as if it all could have been built in the 1930’s.

Stylistically, the Boston Victorian Project was as much about matching history as it was adding style to the lot. Careful consideration was paid to scale and structure; detail choices (in the form of eyebrow dormers that complimented the existing house) combined with colorful exterior materials provide a sense of old style that tie the 12,000 SF lot together. This "Neighborhood Gem", built around 1880, was owned by the previous family for 78 years!! The exterior still bares original details and the expectation was to design a detached three car garage that was in scale with this architectural style while evoking a sense of history. Although this will be a newly constructed structure, the goal was to root it in the site, keep it in scale with its surroundings, and have it look and feel as though it has stood there for as long as the main house. A particular goal was to breakup the massing of the generous 820 SF structure which was successful by recessing one of the three garage bays.

This three bay oak framed garage building was designed with timber garage doors and logstore tied into a fully hipped traditonal roof line. The client expressed an interest for us to handle the full project, the two open bays display all of the oak work inside the barn.

The client requested a new kitchen, family room and two-car garage. Clawson Architects saw this as a wonderful opportunity to engage the landscape and make a soft transition to the hillside. The solution engages the landscape with a traditional barn-like structure. The lower level is a two-car garage and the upper level resulted in a bonus room that allows direct access to the upper yard. The stone base of the barn-like structure is integrated with the site retaining walls that wrap the rear yard and create a patio area complete with outdoor kitchen and fireplace. Accommodations were made structurally to add a car lift so that additional cars could be stored in the future.
