Wadia Associates was enlisted to oversee a sympathetic renovation of an historic home, originally designed by William Tubby. Dinyar Wadia is interviewed here by Nest Seekers to talk about the addition of a great room, a new kitchen, an outdoor courtyard, and a playroom. Providing the inspiration for the great room was Castle Duart, located on the Isle of Mull, and featured in the 1999 movie Entrapment in which Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, playing art thieves, practice their moves for a high-tech heist.
Wadia Associates took great care to match the brick and the Indiana limestone and weathered the new materials to match the same patina and texture of the existing materials.
The new space allows the family to have more gathering space and the design brings in lots of light and energy to the space.
