Belden House & Mews
Litchfield, Connecticut
Belden House & Mews is set in the bucolic and historically rich town of Litchfield. Gracious public spaces and guestrooms inhabit the 19th-century Belden House and its modernist extension, the Mews. We embraced the locale throughout our design, collaborating with local makers and craftsmen to create a color journey full of warmth and curiosity.
Elevated by historical details.
Four poster beds, artisanal lighting, and grasscloth wallcoverings sourced in Litchfield establish a genuine connection to place, elevated by historical details like the building’s ornate original fireplaces and original moldings.
A genuine connection to place.
Contrast between modernism and a traditional spirit.
We highlighted the contrast between Belden House’s traditional spirit and the modernism of the 1950s-era Mews building, where furniture silhouettes inspired by midcentury art and architecture bring splashes of color to tonal room envelopes. The project is a journey in which guests feel welcomed and at home as sunlight streams in through the windows.
