OMIGOSH! This is so beautiful. So much architecture here. That hand made brick; quoining, keystoned archways and columned porticoes. And inside – the tall case clock in the niche on the landing; the leaded tracery in the fanlight; the REALLY marvelous groined arch passageway; that spectacular portholed bathroom…sigh. And that dining room! It has everything – chinoiserie paper, shell niches, and my favourite Scalamandre velvet covered chairs. It warms my heart to think that there are still architects who can produce such high quality work. I will follow Mr. Baker’s projects to see what magic he produces next.

Wow ! My minds goes immediately to incorporating these spectacular design elements and details into a (much) smaller house. As someone who would love to downsize at this time, I dream of a house with some of these elements – only smaller and most assuredly all on one level. I’m craving a one story home with all this elegance. After all – why not? The only single thing you don’t have is the big staircase. You can still have a majestic foyer, high ceilings etc etc. Would love to see someone cover home designs like that.

Thank you for featuring our work!
