A Country Estate with Character
A Country Estate with Character
Southport, CT
While our clients love raising their three young girls in the heart of Manhattan, the countryside in neighboring Connecticut provides a much-needed calming counterpoint to their lifestyle.
Trading in skyline living on weekends and summer vacations, the owners were eager to bring new life to this beautiful Victorian. In response, the Reider + Co team conceived a renovation and design plan that respects the existing elegant period details while reflecting the family’s more youthful and casual style.
The interiors are an eclectic mix of old and new, as evidenced by the traditional forms found throughout, covered with modern and family-friendly fabrics. Strong pops of color on the woodwork and kitchen cabinetry stand out against a neutral palette of gray, white and black, with architectural light fixtures drawing the eye upward. The home is now equally ready for entertaining and low-key quality family time.
