Construction in Stonington, Connecticut

Prutting & Company has partnered with Joeb Moore + Partners Architects again, this time to work in coastal eastern Connecticut.  This project is a restoration and renovation of a World War II residence. Some of the existing elements such as a large granite wall running through the center of the building pose an interesting juxtaposition with contemporary materials such as corrugated metal siding (shown in picture to left).  Its coastline location also creates constraints which makes this project a unique construction challenge.  See below for renderings of the house from Joeb Moore + Partners.

In other news, Prutting & Company is currently working with TsAO & McKOWN Architects  on a residence located in Pound Ridge, New York.  This project’s expression of materials at varying scales requires meticulous construction technique, promising an elegant result.  Prutting & Company looks forward to another project in the area with KieranTimberlake expected to start next spring.
