5 ABOVE, RIGHT & FACING PAGE: PF (Projected Farm) House is a renovation and addition to a farmhouse in upstate New York that dates back to 1813, with a one-story kitchen wing added in the mid-1900s. The original structure, in its symmetrical composition, clear separation of private and public space, and features such as a stagecoach step for receiving visitors arriving f rom afar, represents a type of formality that points away f rom the country toward the city. The 1900s addition represents a different attitude by casually breaking symmetry both in plan and elevation. The main entrance of the house is shifted f rom receiving visitors in a formal space like the living room and parlor, to an informal space such as the kitchen. This casual informality represents an idea of county that does not conform or relate to the city—it is more inward looking.
