Joseph Bergin Architect P.C. 
This Gambrel is a Winter’s Dream of Spring
A design project by Joseph Bergin Architect PC that was completed in drawings in the latter part of 2014 and commenced construction in August 2015 is showing good construction progress and demonstrating the fine talent of its builder, Lehto Design Build LLC. Designed and constructed as a net-zero energy building, it is a participant in […]
Shell & Bones Is Open in New Haven’s City Point Historic District
I’ve been wanting to write something to trumpet a superior new restaurant in New Haven, the opening of which I contributed to in a minor, bit-part way, serving as Architect-of-Record for the construction permit and certain City of New Haven approvals. The vision and execution of the interior design, on the other hand, belongs to […]
April in Osterville
My gratitude for your tolerance, as the frequency of my social media posts has ticked up recently. Thank you for looking! I really do appreciate it! There’s a lot in construction this Spring and I’m eager to share it with my friends and colleagues. In fact, another two projects break ground in the coming days… […]
Not a Ghost, But An Artist Haunting
Last week I wrote a post that described an old house wrapped around an older house. I wrote about the partial dismantling of the wrapping, and the demolition of a long suffering addition at the rear of that building. There was a parallel interest in the demolition activities for me that I did not mention- a personal […]
Springtime Progress in Old Lyme, CT
This house is one of our many projects under construction right now that puts a gambrel roof line into the sky. It is one of the larger houses, contributing seven gables to the gambrel tally. At the end of a long and winding driveway, just about a quarter mile deep into an acreage of Connecticut woods, it feels very […]
Historic Wrapping in Essex, CT
I tell you, I am fascinated to observe an old house being dismantled, revealing hidden mysteries that have been buried since my great-grandfathers were half the age that I am now. If you are like-spirited, you will understand completely when I say there’s a spot in my imagination where I can conjure a trace sensation of time travel. If you […]
Rooster Booster
Another tenant has occupied its space at our building design project on the Guilford Green, and has done so in such a wonderful way and with such a delicious shop. It is called the Red Rooster Baking Company and it is a purveyor of gorgeously good gourmet cookies. I visited the shop over the weekend and feel […]
Winter Hardy Souls
The builder of our project in Osterville, MA sent me photos the other day to show the gable walls standing at this roughly 3,500 square foot house that we designed and that he is right now building. It is another gambrel design, and the principal facade draws strongly from our project in Chatham, MA that was completed […]
Construction Progress in Old Lyme, CT
I visited the building site of one of our current projects recently. This is a new house being constructed in Old Lyme, deep into a wooded flag lot with good acreage and such elevation as to provide distant, uninterrupted views as far as the eye can see. This site is at the very north edge of Old […]
Piano Nobile
. Construction of our mixed-use project in Guilford on the Historic Green continues towards completion. I walked the job site recently with the building owner and a member of the Historic District Commission’s subcomittee and snapped this photo at an area of the project for which I feel a particular fondness. It’s a pedestrian way between two buildings – our […]
