An expansive space

We were asked to design and build an impressive compound of residences for our client to entertain his clients and friends. This was to include a main house, two guest houses, a timber-framed barn, and a garage that houses a guest apartment.

Designing outside the box

The vision and willingness of this client to consider interesting designs gave us opportunities to try new ideas. The design emphasis was on graceful lines, the combination of natural and painted wood elements, and cross gables with shingle flair accents. This round window was fitted into a custom milled stone trim within a heritage stone wall, while cozy cherry paneling and mouldings lend to the home office atmosphere.

Collaboration through craft

A wonderful collaboration between our architects and the owner and interior designer provided many details to craft. The eyebrow dormer in this bath casts a glow over the jacuzzi in Carrera marble. This room makes use of a “found” space in the attic recesses and takes advantage of a similarly framed view of the ocean over the sink.

A captivating retreat
over the coast

A copper-topped screened porch radiates warmth and light in the “golden hour” of the day. An octagonal ceiling of fir and a floor of stone enclose the 360 degree room with outstanding views over Sheepscot Bay.
