Detached Structure
Daniel Contelmo Architects, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,

Project name: Carriage House
Location: Dutchess County, N.Y.
Square footage: 5,500
Cost: $1.4 million
This detached structure sits on 30 acres and houses
the homeowner's 15-car collection while doubling as
a gathering space. The building was required to be
located behind the existing home and feel as though
it could've been there for 100 years. The carriage-
house structure fit on a site near a rock knoll, cliff
and wet area. An existing stone wall was incorpo-
rated into new walls that were used to delineate
yard and courts, and define uses around the carriage
house. The timber frame structure has columns wide enough apart
that two cars can be parked between them with their doors open.
There is a center display aisle for display and driving cars in and
out and an overhead catwalk for viewing the cars from above. A
main gable roof simplifies and defines the structure while a reverse
gable facing the house creates character and interest while dividing
the long roof behind it. Radiant heat in the brick floor prevents
moisture from getting to the cars, and cars can be backed out of
sliding mahogany doors to run on a hollow paver surface. A brick
entrance courtyard incorporated into the existing stone walls and
trees is used for gatherings and display of one of the vehicles.

Project name: Wine Room
Location: Lincoln Park, N.J.
Square footage: 186
Cost: $126,992
This main-floor wine room stores the client's wine collection and serves
as an extension of the entertaining areas of the home. The vaulted ceil-
ing reached 16 ft. at its highest point and had the potential to create an
elevator-like feeling. The remodel covered the surface with chipped granite
to match the textures and design, while withstanding the temperature
and high humidity of the refrigerated space. Four glass light panels suspended from the ceiling create a subtle break in the height. Other
materials used to create the space include natural walnut cabinetry, satin nickel wine racks, a custom rolling ladder, titanium and copper
polished porcelain, and a custom table with a rift cut oak top and hand-forged, nickel-plated legs.
