Traditional Cottage with a Modern Addition – Ten Broeck Cottage in Columbia County, NY

The Ten Broeck Cottage by Messana O’Rorke Architects is a modern way to appreciate classical 18th century architecture. Located in Columbia County, New York, this farmhouse beautifully blends the old and the new. Built in the mid-1700s, the original wing of the Ten Broeck Cottage houses a main-floor living room and dining room divided by a fireplace, and two bedrooms and a bath on the upper level. The modern addition to the home provides additional living space with a kitchen, guest bedroom and a shower room on the ground floor, and an exercise room and sauna in the cellar, which is finished with a glass door offering a view of the orchard beyond. Interiors are an artful juxtaposition of old and new – plaster walls butting up against limestone floors, and richly oiled woods exposed against cool stainless steel. Messana O’Rorke Architects
