Formerly a guest cottage above a garage, this bright, fully renovated space is now home to interior design firm RobsonLeonard Design. The original 1850’s barn structure was in need of renovation as it was sagging and the former garage no longer accommodated today’s cars. Building contractor Coger Residential lifted the barn to install the necessary structural supports, as part of a larger rebuild. Deirdre O’Farrelly Architects redesigned the cottage by expanding the foot print, adding an outside viewing deck, a potting shed and an interior staircase.
