First look at the completed Brick Home Addition in the Berkshire’s.
We are primarily known for our new homes that respect the region’s vernacular architecture and tasteful additions, which often meld seamlessly with old homes and feel like they have always been there. When our client in the Berkshires asked us to design an addition that would contrast with her Classical Revival brick home, we were happy to accommodate her. We were asked to create a kitchen and butler’s pantry, a living room, a dining room, and a breakfast bay on the first floor, with a primary bath, family room, and spare room on the second floor.
The distinction between old and new is unmistakable, yet each seems to accentuate the character of the other.

Columbia County Hilltop Escape

Our clients found a beautiful hilltop site in the country, with sweeping views, quiet surroundings, and room to garden, write, and enjoy the landscape.

We designed the home to make the most of that setting, creating places to connect with nature throughout the house — from the main living spaces to the upper levels, covered porch, terrace, and outdoor gathering areas.

At dusk, the house takes on a warm glow, with the porches and interior rooms opening out toward the hills and woods beyond.

Stay tuned for interior photos.

Reclaimed Materials
Part 2 of 9 Classic Home Design Ideas Inspired by Historic Houses

We often use reclaimed flooring, beams, cabinetry, and architectural elements. Old houses rely on materials that tell the truth. Wood wears in. Stone softens. Metal darkens. These materials don’t resist time—they partner with it. Reclaimed materials carry a kind of quiet authority. Old beams, wide-plank flooring, salvaged brick, or antique doors bring more than texture—they bring scale, density, and a sense of permanence that is difficult to manufacture.

I recently wrote a blog post about the 9 old-house ideas we consistently draw on when designing new homes and renovations.

Timeless homes aren’t created by trend or nostalgia. They last because they are grounded in proportion, material honesty, and an understanding of how people actually live in spaces over time. Many of the most enduring qualities of older houses aren’t decorative at all—they’re architectural decisions that quietly do their work year after year.

Since this looks to be the perfect weekend for porch sitting, I wanted to share a few porches with you. In old houses, porches were never ornamental. They were designed as rooms without walls—places to welcome guests, gather with family and friends, and slow the transition between inside and outside. A back porch was often a workspace where family members would gather to shell peas, shuck corn, or simply enjoy each other’s company. Glass and screen panels extend the comfort and utility of any porch.

Happy Mother’s Day from Crisp Architects.

Here’s to the mothers who make a house feel like home.
May you find yourself soaking in a tub full of bubbles, sipping something sparkling, and enjoying a few peaceful moments all to yourself. Because sometimes the greatest luxury in a home is simply the chance to slow down. 1. Litchfield County Renovation Primary Bathroom. Contractor Howie Senior. 2 and 3.
