One of my most adored firms thus far.
Though my personal aesthetic is modern, my work at George Penniman Architects has more than influenced me in the New England tradition ranging from the shingle style to early colonial styles.
Based in Newport, RI, Estes Twombly's work is a most happy marriage of my two diverging aesthetics. Like yin and yang they balance each other and create absolute harmony in the landscape. The firm tends to use the simple vernacular roof forms and materials of New England- gable roofs, exposed rafters, and wood shingles or clapboards along with more modern details- minimalistic windows, flat stock trim at eaves and rakes, and stainless steel hardware and connections.
Add to this duo a good dose of sustainability and you can say this is how I would practice architecture.
What great inspiration.
