Seascape

The inspiration for this elegant estate began at the shoreline. Set slightly back from the water, a high point of ledge offers unparalleled views of a lighthouse and sailing school to the North and island-studded ocean views to the South.

Curved mahogany doors disappear into hidden wall pockets; the greatest challenge being the flush stone sill to allow for uninterrupted flow from indoors to outdoors. The central gambrel form draws you into a grand entry, with its domed ceiling illuminating graceful double stairs that frame the intricate marble floor inlay.

With curves meeting curves in every room, the intricate wood mouldings were individually designed by Knickerbocker Group architects and Urban Dwellings designers, who carefully detailed each piece to smoothly transition into the next and provide continuity throughout the home.

The master bedroom, with its barrel ceiling trimmed in compound-curve mouldings, is a testament to the successful collaboration between architecture, millwork, and construction. Mouldings are now trimmed in gold leaf and the light-filled room is a sanctuary. Windows frame the spectacular view and a pool-side stone terrace ends at the ledge where the vision began.

Knickerbocker Group borrowed a software program from Bath Iron Works to draw the ceiling coffers in such a way that they could be built. The 24-karat-gold and crystal chandelier was crafted in France and commissioned for the house.
