Farm Retreat

Delaware Township, New Jersey

This weekend retreat began life as a 1920s concrete block garage in the middle of a 150-acre family farm. Rather than compete with the grand stone farmhouse 100 feet away, we designed a contrasting group of rooms set under a rambling roofline.

The focal point is a glassy family room open to the sun, views, and the common lawn. Behind this, the master bedroom and bathroom open to a private garden set into the original stone walls.
