Hampton Luzak has a background in fashion and television production and has served as casting director on a variety of film sets, including the award-winning short Chaperone. Hampton Luzak has also focused her creative energy on the historic preservation and renovation efforts of numerous residences in Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut.
One historic residential architectural style prominent in New England is Georgian architecture. A period of American architecture that emerged in the early 1700s, the Georgian era featured homes that were similar to the previous generation of Colonial houses in chimney configuration, as well as cladding. However, Georgian homes were much larger than their Colonial predecessors.
Another distinct aspect of Georgian homes is their predictable design, with windows and doors set in orderly arrangements along the two-story front side of homes that extended two rooms deep. For example, second floor windows were typically arranged in odd numbers that extended across as three, five, or seven windows, depending on the dimensions of the home. The functionality of the design imparts a sense of solidity and orderliness that makes Georgian residences important to preservationists to this day.
