令人惊叹的住宅修复在米德尔敦，RI

第二幕

Sakonnet河上的Boothden修复工程改写了历史

安妮女王, 米德尔敦萨克内特河沿岸的木棒式住宅, RI, 曾经属于著名的莎士比亚演员埃德温·布斯. Booth, billed as one of the finest lead characters in the tragic play 哈姆雷特, had commissioned famed architect Calvert Vaux to build him a cottage along the water’s grassy banks, 在哪里, 他不在剧院的时候, he could take in the beauty of the setting 和 its filtered views of the Atlantic. 的 summer enclave was inhabited by other artists of the time who preferred its serenity to the opulence 和 vanity fair of high-society Newport nearby. 这次幽静的私人性质无疑对布斯很有吸引力, 因为到1865年，他会被不受欢迎的名声所困扰, 和 more widely known for his role as brother to Abraham Lincoln’s assassin Edwin Wilkes Booth than for his compelling character portrayals. 

“好儿子”只喜欢“布施登”,就像它的名字一样, 在遗嘱传给他女儿之前，已经有四年了, 埃德温娜, 之后不久就卖掉了. 当时它建于1883年, 住宅是一个40x40英尺的滚动结构, 庄园风格的草坪点缀着河边的风车. 从那以后的几年里, Boothden经历了一系列的扩建和翻新, 每一个都与下一个无关, 打乱了沃克斯最初的设想. 它最近的化身是由 Andreozzi建筑师, Kirby Perkins建筑公司 和 LeBlanc Jones景观设计事务所, 重置时钟, returning the residence to its historic gr和eur even as it positions the home in the here 和 now. 

在项目开始的时候, a historian was enlisted to discern what was original to the design 和 what wasn’t. Clear additions from the 1940s 和 ’50s were removed 和 a new plan was designed that “recreated the image of what Calvin Vaux intended the house to be,建筑师David Andreozzi说. 因为房子的地基已经老化，需要更换, 这个团队, 以及Boothden的现任所有者, took the opportunity to reposition the home at an angle that maximizes its site 和 views toward the ocean. 的y tailored the new location “to how the new owners want to experience the environment,Andreozzi建筑事务所的合伙人David Rizzolo说, 他们希望别人也能有这样的经历. 的 residents share a unique inner ethos; they love entertaining 和 welcome a steady parade of visitors to their one-of-a-kind property all summer long.

的 way that Boothden mingles the old 和 new is a construction tour de force. 作为屋檐, 夹叉射击, decorative trim 和 shingle pattern on the exterior of the north end of the home was intact, 共同所有者Tom Perkins和项目经理R和on Mendes解释道 Kirby Perkins建筑公司, the builder had to match up the many interesting roof lines 和 mirror the facade’s intricacies on the additions.
的 homeowner feared he’d notice 在哪里 the old house ends 和 the new begins. 他本不必担心. While the Kirby Perkins team knows exactly 在哪里 that point is on all three levels, 居民们幸灾乐祸地浑然不知.

对于室内设计, 客户端, 具有真正设计眼光的艺术家, cultivated a setting of peace 和 elegance that hints at the formality of yesteryear yet captures the easy spirit of today’s coastal homes. Andreozzi建筑师 specified elaborate finish work 和 flourishes (what Perkins calls “details on top of details”) that showcase the exacting craftsmanship of Kirby Perkins建筑公司 和 其实木工.

It’s the finer points that set the home apart: the Stick-style beam ceiling lends a nautical flair to the family room; museum-grade mahogany veneers line the chart room; crowd-pleasing Wolf 和 Sub-Zero appliances modernize the kitchen; h和blown stained glass alights the ceiling of the master bedroom; 和 a h和-carved stairway adds drama to the dining room, 创造一个精致的空间，“几乎感觉像一个舞台布景。,Andreozzi说.

While Andreozzi建筑师 designed the paneling of the refridgerator to evoke an old icebox, 电器一点也不复古. 的 kitchen 和 pantry feature Sub-Zero 和 Wolf appliances, supplied by Clarke & 零度以下的陈列室, 和 an oversized isl和 allows three couples to cook 和 prep comfortably.

“这所房子的设计很奇特，很复杂. 细节之上有细节，它的房间有很多层.——Tom Perkins, Kirby Perkins建筑公司

的 stone carving over the mantel pays homage to the windmill of long ago.

的 grade of the pool was sited so that the gaze looks over the beautiful lawn 和 water. 硬地景观被夏季开花的植物所包围.

LeBlanc Jones景观设计事务所 entered the scene early to set the rotation 和 elevation of the house, 并选择景观特色的等级, 包括:新建一个游泳池, spa 和 cabana; a barn-turned-artist studio 和 greenhouse; a small orchard, 还有多年生菜园和菜园. 此外，“我们还想保留很多现有的条件,校长基思·勒布朗解释道, like the copper beech tree that greets you on arrival 和 a waterside gazebo that “floats out on the lawn” on the site of the earliest generations’ windmill. 的se exquisite details were woven into the overall composition in a “sort of artful arrangement.”

泳池露台设有室外烧烤区, 绿廊, 和 a cabana that has beach club-style snack bar doors 和 a full kitchen.

就像房子本身一样, 风景的新特征, 比如平缓的斜坡, laid stone retaining walls 和 soft natural grasses along the riverbank are quietly integrated among elements that have long been part of the terrain. 的 gardens are beautiful but not obvious, says LeBlanc, so as not to upstage the view. After all, the vistas are the home’s marquee attraction, in years past 和 for years to come.
