As preservation Architects we set about to accomplish two goals. One was to stabilize the buildings structurally and to remove inappropriate additions and changes. We replaced obsolete systems with new mechanical, plumbing and electrical work. Designed originally for servants, we reorganized interior spaces for modern day living. The service wing became a guest apartment and office. We developed a simplified core of interior circulation with a graceful new stair hall. We added new kitchens and baths. Secondly, the gardens and fountains have been faithfully restored. Water now gushes forth from each garden figure into its basin. A stunning, exuberant sight.
