Project Description
The building houses administration and a greenhouse next to the main building, which is listed on the National Historic Register.
The owner wanted 19th century charm and 21st century energy efficiency.
An NRG half-highblock was color-matched to six shades of antique brick that are in the walls of the main building.
Full-high NRG gray block references the stone of the main building's prominent chimney.
