John Wilson Farm / Residence in Lexington, MA
View from South
View from North	Platt Anderson Freeman developed this extraordinary design solution incorporating new living space in the Victorian era barn with a connecting link to its historic Greek Revival farm house. A key design feature is the modern insulated building envelope completely surrounding the old barn frame so that its reconfigured interior can recall the ambiance of its original use with the warm patina of old wood. Even the names of draft horses remain carved in the wood headers over the former stall doors. The new link was designed to be compatible with the historic buildings and carefully planned to include a new entry, kitchen, dining room, master bedroom suite, and new garage. The spacious barn and link serve as the main living spaces for the owners with the original house used primarily as a guest house. Click here to see the book on whose cover this project was featured.

Residence in Martha's Vineyard

On a clear day views from the ample windows encompass the entire south shore. Distinctly West Vineyard, the feel of the house is windblown and filled with the light for which the west island is famous.

The interior detailing defines the space and draws inspiration from early nineteenth century maritime joinery.

This house on Martha's Vineyard sits in the south west corner of the island.

PAF Architects worked with Chapman Construction to complete this project. The old house will serve as a guest suite and library. The new two story east wing contains kitchen and dining space with bedrooms above. The roof of the living space linking the two story elements captures the warmth of the low winter sun and protects the cool interior from the sun in the summer

Residence in the Bahamas, Island of Abaco

Platt Anderson Freeman designed this Caribbean retreat on the Bahamian island of Abaco to capture panoramic views of the Ocean and withstand 170 mile-per-hour hurricane winds.

Built on a lush tropical ocean front site, the house is structured a full level above grade with generous openings to provide panoramic views while drop down shutters provide complete closure for inclement weather.

The house is carefully structured to withstand the wind force of fierce tropical storms. The complex includes a large cistern which stores fresh water fed through the drainage system from the roof.
