A Cotswold-Inspired Greenwich Estate by Architect Guillermo Gomez

Set in a prime in-town enclave of Greenwich, this newly built home was designed by architect Guillermo M. Gomez with a clear idea in mind: take the traditional Cotswold language—stone, stucco, timber—and make it work for how people actually live today.

The exterior leans into that English influence with stone walls and timber framing. Inside, it opens up. The goal wasn’t to recreate an old house, but to use those materials in a way that feels natural for modern living.

The house is organized to keep everything connected. The living room, dining area, kitchen, and breakfast space all open broadly to the lawn and pool. Large, double-height doors make that transition easy, so the house shifts naturally between indoor and outdoor living.

The living room is framed by a timber arch and anchored by a two-story steel fireplace—more architectural than decorative. Off to the side, there’s flexibility built in; the space can read as a music room or convert into a more formal sitting area depending on how it’s used.

The kitchen is positioned as a true working space, centered around a main workstation with clear sightlines across the house. From there, everything lines up toward the family room and out to the pool, so you’re always oriented to what’s happening outside. The family room connects directly to the backyard and functions as a pool house in practice.

The house sits on just over half an acre, close to town but with enough depth and screening to give it a more private, mid-country feel. It’s a traditional architectural approach, adjusted where it matters and focused on how the house actually lives day to day.
