With the house gutted, the interior was something of a blank slate. It was reorganized to put kitchen and dining spaces on the water side, with and office facing the street and the new main entry occupying a corner and using dramatic shingled brackets to support the gracious canopy roof. Two new stone pillars were added to continue the rhythm of the existing, and a new, stunning chimney was detailed to anchor the covered porch, central entry/stairwell, dining room. The chimney was also detailed with a dramatic internal, arched stairway down to a wine cellar.
