Garage Ménage: Family Members Collaborate on a Modern Country Retreat

Pilot and author Mark Vanhoenacker and banker-photographer Mark Jones didn’t set out to find a home in the Berkshires.

During a Thanksgiving visit with family, a leisurely drive through Lenox led them to an unexpected discovery—a one-car garage with a small apartment above it perched before a breathtaking view.

For Vanhoenacker, who grew up in Pittsfield, the spot was instantly familiar and brimming with nostalgia, offering a serene contrast to the couple’s bustling Midtown Manhattan apartment. This chance encounter marked the beginning of their journey to create a home with the help of Lou Boxer Builder.
