Moldings: Yale University Dwight Hall Renovation & Restoration, New Haven, Connecticut

Dwight Hall served as the first library at Yale University before its conversion into a chapel in 1931. In 2005, VMA produced the initial plans for a full renovation and restoration of the building. A new accessible entry is virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding historic fabric.

Moldings: Millbrook School: Casertano Dining Hall, Millbrook, New York

Working from the campus plan’s original concept, a glazed gallery and cupola over the main entry connect the original dining hall with the new one while forming a focal point for the court. The new dining room is light, airy, quiet, and architecturally expressive of the school’s mission and identity while providing seating for 400.

The design included an expansion to become the new living room and family room. This new bow-fronted living room took advantage of vistas that had not been possible in the original house. The existing living room was then converted into a library that could display the owners’ sizable collection of books and paintings.

Interior design in collaboration with Eve Wildrick of Executive Interiors.

Built in the mid-19th century, altered after a fire, the house had fallen into significant disrepair by the late 20th century. Yet, our clients were committed to restore a sense of grandeur and establish a gracious yet comfortable venue for their art collection and lifestyle.

The homeowners of this townhouse wrote a custom inscription that is subtly incorporated into the riser of the top step. VMA oversaw the preservation work and the necessary construction documentation, as the house sits within a registered historic district.

Creative details soften the interior: a wrought iron stair rail; antique furnishings and a rich palette of bold colors; and, soft patterns and dark mahogany finishes, which unite for a warm and inviting atmosphere.

VMA’s design would not only involve renovation and addition, but would also meet the needs of a growing family of four and harness the energy and inspiration of the couple’s collecting furniture and fabrics appropriate to the arts and crafts style of the home.

Though an intensive renovation, our design strategy allowed the historic structures to lead the way, with most of the interior framing left in place to provide a rigorous tripartite plan. Views now extend to the stream, meadows, and woodlands.

Having lived for 25 years in the farmhouse on their property, our clients sought to convert an adjacent, early 19th-century bank barn into their primary residence, while preserving as much of the existing features as possible. Insulation added on the exterior allows the historic barn finishes to remain on the interior.

Everything in the dining room was a new addition to the house, except the chandelier. The antique fireplace and hand-painted silk wallpaper would not look out of place in a grand British country estate.

In imagining a design for their new home, our clients took inspiration from the stunning seven-acre site in the Philadelphia suburbs that offered long views across the Schuylkill Valley. They also wanted a “small, large house” with a sense of grand openness yet economy.
