Architectural Projects and Details



Architectural Projects Designed by John E. Scofield

Inside of two back-to-back 'Rumford' fireplaces. 

I designed and built a group of 'cabins' for a Hollywood producer who owned land in Connecticut. This shoot for Vogue was the first design story in the USA for editor Hamish Bowles. He arrived in a white fur coat, no hat, on a very cold day. I built him a fire in the main cabin and toasted up some scones in the fire place. That cheered him up... 

On the fire screen, in the upper left corner, there is a small forged-iron screech owl. This was to commemorate the owl that once sat in a nearby apple tree during the middle of the day. Stonework by the late Anders Chase. Ironwork: Peter Catchpole.
  • See two photos with red dots in the story below.

This is an authentic
Adirondack 'Rushton'
canoe in front of the 
cabin's screened-in porch.


  • A garage / workshop with great-room and fireplace on the second floor:

Exterior stone steps take you up to a terrace and main entry to the great-room:

Contractor: Jack Nelson, Concord Environmental Construction Services, Kent, CT.

  • An insulated cabin / studio overlooking Hatch Pond in S. Kent, CT:

  • Architectural amenities for a commercial project: 
'Mountain Waves' This enclosure keeps mechanical equipment
(air conditioning units etc.) and noise away from the buildings.

floor. One of the (12) buildings in the commercial project. 

'My Song is Love Unknown' concrete relief.

Note bottom hinge brackets that allow the trellis to be lowered for maintenance.
