White School House

Student: Sara Loevinger
Course: DS322 Interior Design II
Program: ID, Year 3


The perfect home for Eric Ferguson and Mary D’Alton should balance accessibility, sociability, and beauty. In order to allow the couple to age gracefully in place, ADA codes are implemented throughout the house. The West half of the home is left completely open allowing interaction between spaces and creating a display of the couple’s favorite views from the North and South windows. The use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials helps to bring the natural environments of these views into the space. A central theme of wood shelving is established in order to display the couple’s personal artwork and their variety of collectibles. Finally, finishes were picked to compliment the historical style of the School House while still maintaining the contemporary style of the new design.
