 CORBIN-NORTON HOUSE Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, USA 2004
In 2001, just years after an historic restoration by the architectural firm, Design Associates, Inc., and contractor Doyle Construction, the home was destroyed by fire. The owner was not deterred. Wishing to reconstruct the home in every detail of its original Queen Anne predecessor, Design Associates was tasked with assembling a new team and taking on a complete reconstruction for a second time.
Working intensively from photographs, Design Associates looked for examples of everything from roof pitches to brick patterns to newel post design. All Hirschmann windows and doors were scrutinized for historical accurateness, yet also needed to integrate modern conveniences and approaches such as self-cleaning glass, and stainless steel cable reinforced cotton sash cord wherever possible.
