Residential

Designing a residence requires a great deal of sensitivity to the wishes of the client and their needs, both now and in the future. The home should not just be functional and well-built, but one that is a pleasure to occupy, and that makes the occupants' lives a bit easier. Hans Roegele has worked for the renowned Southern residential architect Ken Tate, and worked with a wide range of clients.

Working with the Interior Designer Bunny Williams while at Hart Howerton, Hans Roegele was primarily responsible for the interior design of this 20,000 square foot residence in the Hamptons. The style hearkened back to classic shingle style cottages while incorporating the latest amenities.

This remodeling of an 18th century Connecticut house for a European couple steered between exploring the simplicity and joinery typical for period homes, and the level of fitting and luxury expected in the modern era. Rooms were kept as close to pure proportions as possible; (the bathrooms are cubes) and a consistent language of moldings was carried throughout the rooms to unify them.
The main level public rooms were treated with formal classical orders in keeping with the existing woodwork, while the moldings in the private rooms were attenuated.
Sanctus Industries was the general contractor, and built all panelling and finish woodwork.
To satisfy the client's program, and create a unique set of rooms with properly scaled moldings, elements were often designed to the 1/8". Hans Roegele worked closely with Sanctus before and during construction.

Residential Concepts

This project is a rethinking of the colonial center-chimney house for a large homebuilder. The facades were carefully designed using golden sections, squares and equilateral triangles; the rooms are laid out with doors and windows on axis.
This project involves developing a few prototypes.
