Form and Function Unite

An interior English greenhouse provides a sunny spot for conversation.

George Pusser, president of Cornerstone Contracting, and his award-winning team have been building custom luxury homes throughout Fairfield County, CT, Dutchess and Westchester counties, NY; New York City, the Hamptons and Ocean County, NJ, for more than 25 years. We talked to Pusser about his firmโ€™s dedication to exceeding clientsโ€™ expectations with incomparably high standards, supported by a superior on-site management approach.

Tell us about a project for which you found a beautiful way to make a space more functional. We constructed an entertainment barn using materials from a 19th century barn that was discovered in Albany, NY. The original barn was skillfully disassembled and then relocated to Greenwich, CT, where the original timbers were expertly used to construct a magnificent entertainment space. Working with the client, architect, engineer and designer, Cornerstone developed a realistic budget and schedule for transforming the barn. The project included an English greenhouse, custom windows and doors, unique custom cabinetry constructed from antique materials and a wine cellar.
