SALTBOX

SALTBOX

This 18th century Saltbox, transformed over time into a 4000 SF home, was stripped of all additions, to expose the iconic, asymmetrical New-England Style post-and-beam timber structure. It was meticulously documented and labeled, then disassembled, leaving behind only the central stone hearth. After renovating and waterproofing the rubble stone foundation, the timber frame was re-erected in traditional craft, joining the wood members with original mortise-and-tenon joints and wooden pegs. The structure was clad with a modern, energy efficient envelope.
