Simple forms and intentional choices

Inspired by the simplicity of New England Colonials, this house is a collaborative creative endeavor envisioned by the owner as a home for her family. As an artist, she applied her finely-tuned sensibilities for an aesthetic that embodied a delicate balance between order and casualness.

Our team pared down finish selections to a precise palette, and developed construction details that revealed the integrity of materials and the craft of construction. By selecting systems that supported both sustainability and health, this house achieved LEED Platinum certification.
