Werner Carriage House
Fayetteville, AR, United States
Located within the Washington-Willow Historic District, the Werner Carriage House takes cues from both its historic main house and the context of its neighboring structures. In the historic district, the age of a building can be identified simply based on the prevailing style of the day. The neighborhood includes fine examples of Victorian, craftsman, and mid-century structures, to name a few.
The carriage house functions as a new studio space on the upper level, providing an entertainment room for both the clients and children. The lower level provides a parking court, covered parking spaces, and storage. This vernacular building type, reinterpreted in a modern manner, takes the traditional approach of improvising living space above outdoor storage and applies that functionality in a way that bridges the public space and drive to the private outdoor spaces of the house.
The carriage house borrows materials and the historic color scheme from the original home and approaches them with new detailing and application. The white trim divorces itself from the cornice to create a material opening to form a more modern corner window. The opposing corners borrows the painted shake shingles from gables of its Victorian parent.
Spatially the cedar fence works with the carriage house to provide a physical connection to the existing house while performing its traditional function of dividing public and private spaces. The carriage house itself rests above, floating over the drive and overlooking the backyard.
The color orange is introduced to define the subtractive circulation space. The color also acts as a counterpoint to the more reserved materiality of the existing home; a connection that is completed by the decorative flourish on the home’s entry gable which is painted in the same orange.
