This large estate house was carefully crafted to compliment the rolling hillsides of the Midwest. Horizontal board & batten facades are sheltered by long runs of hipped roofs, centrally divided by the home’s singular gabled wall. At the foyer, this gable takes the form of a classic three-part archway. Knightswood features a double-sided fireplace, two garages, screened porch with stone fireplace, and ample entertainment space.

In this remarkable remodel of a traditional English Country Estate originally designed by Visbeen Architects, an additional 10,000 square feet of house was artfully designed into the southeastern landscape. The gabled stone and Shake House-style addition required significant engineering. The house boasts incredible craftsmanship, from the quality of materials to architectural details.

Bayside clients spent years updating an existing onsite residence before asking Visbeen Architects to re-envision their home. They had previously added to the house and cultivated a wonderfully landscaped yard but wanted to expand the footprint by utilizing a more efficient, functional layout.
