Reviving a bland mid-century ranch in Muttontown
The new Entry was offset to the right of center in the Entry Courtyard. The architects designed a series of rectangular forms in the new Courtyard surfacing to center it to the outdoor space, as it approaches the new circular driveway.
The Entry Portico was set on a raised bluestone platform, supported by fiberglas columns. Roman returns sit below the gabled roof, which was cut into an elliptical arch to match the transom.
The Foyer ceiling beyond was vaulted to extend the height into the Entry Foyer.
The elliptical transom window over the entry door was designed to bring northern light into the new Foyer.
