GROWING A FARMHOUSE
by Frank Shirley
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/1031/building_1-1.html
The 1829 Jacob Yoder farmhouse in the rolling hills of
eastern Pennsylvania is crafted from the materials that
surround it: fieldstone, pine, and oak. The patient
hands of time have turned the pine floors amber and the
stone walls a color wheel of earth tones. The house is
one with the land and history, which is precisely why
the owners, two refugees from Manhattan, bought it.
The Federal-style house Jeff Gorrin and Susan Fetterolf
found was small: three rooms on the first floor, a
kitchen the size of a pantry, and three bedrooms
upstairs. One bathroom served the entire house. They
needed a library to hold their book collection, a
contemporary kitchen, a family room more intimate than
the original parlors, a home office, and a master suite.
They entrusted architects Peter Zimmerman and John
Toates to find a solution that balanced their practical
needs with their aesthetic sensibilities.
Making New From Old
The first decision Jeff and Susan made was to use
natural materials, especially salvaged materials of the
era. All of the timbers for the addition were taken from
one 18th-century house. As in the original house,
ceilings are framed of exposed oak timbers, some as big
as 8 inches by 11 inches (20 by 28 centimeters). Other
than being cut to length, the old timbers are unaltered,
preserving their darkened faces and axe and saw
markings. Roof sheathing and sub-flooring, commonly of
plywood today, were made of reclaimed pine boards
because their surfaces are visible in the unfinished
ceiling.
