The Women’s Institute for Housing and Economic development (WIHED) once again turned to Dyer Brown to assist them in the adaptive re-use of a former school located in the south end of New Bedford. Our design documents have recently been completed and submitted to Massachusetts Historical Commission and the National Park Service for review. As with the previous two projects, this project will be funded in part with Historic Tax Credits, as well as several other public and pseudo-public funding agencies. We expect the funding phase to last approximately ten months before we can complete the design work and see the project construction begin.
 
     

Little Compton, RI Residence

This second home for a young and growing family sits in a pasture at the head of a salt pond overlooking the ocean. Views, light and sun were priorities for this year-round vacation home of an active family, with long summer stays combined with shorter off-season visits on holidays and special occasions. Large interconnected living spaces maximize light, views and the ability to accommodate the couple’s active social life. The site conditions called for careful planning around flood plain issues, septic system and local height restrictions. The clients wanted the house to reflect it’s New England coastal summer community context with materials, shapes and scale that could nestle gracefully into the old pasture and be a good neighbor. The house will be completed in the summer of 2009.

     

Dartmouth, MA Residence

This year-round vacation house for a young family with four children sits on a wooded bluff overlooking a salt-water estuary. The shingled house with connected bedroom wing and separate guest house/garage combine to form outdoor spaces for gardening, recreation and entertaining. The active and informal life-style of this energetic family is reflective in simple, large interconnected living spaces with sun, light and dramatic views to the surrounding woods and water. Smaller, more private sleeping areas and office areas for the parents provide a needed contrast for family living. Wood and stone set the theme for this carefully crafted house with strong New England roots. This house will be completed in the spring of 2009.
