From the outset, our clients expressed a preference for timeless designs, stating they were “…open to new takes on older styles.” They shared, "We like styles that are classic and will endure rather than leading on trend." This perfectly aligned with our design philosophy. Avoiding clichéd nautical motifs, we aimed to create a space that would be inviting year-round, not just during the brief summer months. The home basks in sunlight and offers breathtaking views for miles. To emphasize these stunning vistas, we chose a crisp white palette and incorporated two classic materials used on repeat throughout: shiplap and classic brick. Shiplap, a staple of coastal architecture, adds immense architectural interest and texture to the home. Its presence in nearly every room creates a seamless flow, bringing a sense of unity from one room to the next.

One decision we’re particularly proud of was replacing the saw-tooth staircase with a traditional design. This allowed us to create the sweetest reading nook under the stairs, for both kids and adults to enjoy.
