The Eagle House

For more than two years, I engaged with the architect, builder, landscape architect, and clients in a collaborative effort to restore this 1918 Neel Reid classic home, an adaptation of Tintinhull Manor, circa 1720, in Somerset, England, to its original glory. The iconic sculpted eagles on piers at the entrance to the forecourt—the residence is most often referred to as “The Eagle House”—are echoed throughout the house in subtle but appropriate ways. Inherent in each decision was my commitment to create a comfortable space that maximized the clients’ museum quality pieces with all the conveniences of modern-day living.
