Jones’s plan extended the rear several feet both upstairs and down and punctuated the facade with an abundance of windows. “We corrected the bad additions and doubled the square footage of the house to include a new family room and a mudroom,” says the architect.
Because the Vogts love to entertain outside, the design team brought in Lila Fendrick of Lila Fendrick Landscape Architecture to extend the usability of the outdoor spaces. “We knew we had to make these areas just as dynamic as the Georgian-inflected style of the home,” says Fendrick, “so we designed a new curving walk-way and a brick driveway that effectively play off the solid geometry of the house. The result is a dramatic front area that is warm and welcoming.”
In the back, Fendrick tackled the challenging grade change and transformed the space to accommodate a terrace with a fountain, as well as a cooking area with outdoor grills. “The goal was to make the entire scheme look classic and integrated, as if it had always been there,” she says.
Inside, Vogt wanted individual rooms for specific purposes rather than one open space. “My husband and I like cozy areas where we read the paper, have a drink beside the fire, or watch television,” says the designer.
