When longtime clients requested the addition of a tranquil spa on the family’s Sheepscot River property, we presented an unexpected design that would evolve and meld to their needs.
Facing the river is a wall of nearly all glass, making the water as much a part of the space as anything on the inside.– Knickerbocker Group, Stoneview Spa
With the river as our guide, the building rests in a meadow landscape, capturing classic Maine waterfront views. Stone and steel make the structure’s frame and exterior, providing a natural impression to the overall build. Facing the river is a wall of nearly all glass, making the water as much a part of the space as anything on the inside.
Eventually, a kitchen, common area, office, and loft were all added to the design. Stoneview Spa is a place where the family can not only workout and rejuvenate but also entertain, focus, and rest. Outside, the patio, featuring a hot tub and dining area with a pizza oven, invites gatherings.
Inside, neutral tones and natural materials, including Maine-quarried granite and red cedar roofing and trim, create a calming, indoor–outdoor experience. Views of the surrounding landscape—pines, tides, and meadows—infuse the rooms through glass facades.
A place for family and friends to decompress and reconnect, to each other and the natural setting, Stoneview Spa will pass down through the family for generations to come.
We listen, collaborate, and care. Simply put, we do what’s right—for our clients, community, and this unique place we all call home.
