The Jamestown Project

The original house in is a wonderful Bill Burgin design situated in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Incredible stone work, expansive views and environmentally friendly design are the foundations this home is built on. Maintaining the integrity of the initial design while significantly increasing living space and recreational areas played a significant role in early design considerations and material selection.

New construction includes a new east side terrace and a new master bedroom suite of approximately 1,500 square feet. The suite is attached to the house via a glass sided connective walkway. There will be an extensive refinish and the addition of architectural millwork in many of the existing rooms. A free standing three car garage complete with a car wash bay, lavatory and a sink is being constructed to match the architecture and finish of the main house.

This project went into full swing at the end of October with the threat of a New England winter just around the corner. To bring this project to a successful conclusion in the time frame required, we have continued to work on all hardscape and outdoor projects throughout the winter. Work of this type has been extensive and includes a redesigned front entry, an outdoor spa complete with fountain, stone walkways, parking areas and a driveway. New garden areas along with numerous retaining walls surround the new structure.

To maintain a high productivity work environment and to house critical materials in close proximity to the work site, we built an enclosure around the house and work area. Inside the enclosure we maintain temperatures at around 65 degrees throughout the coldest days of winter. Utilizing this structure and taking advantage of the inherent productivity gains, has us on target to complete this multiyear project within a 9 month window.
