We gave up one of the original three garage bays to create a passage straight through the building, connecting the new parking court behind the cottages to the pool, gardens, and entertaining spaces on the other side.

The main cottage was renovated with an emphasis on warm, tactile materials and details that reinforce its older character. Here, the narrow stair, whimsical newel, and textured plaster walls carry that approach through one of the more compact spaces in the house.

Aerial views are always interesting because they show relationships that are difficult to understand from the ground, from how the different wings of a house are organized to the way terraces, lawns, gardens, and the pool divide the property into distinct outdoor spaces.

The diamond motif carried through the wall paneling and custom vanity gives this bathroom its own architectural language, with the cerused oak bringing some depth to the marble and more reflective finishes throughout the room.

Drawing by hand gives me the freedom to explore an idea as quickly as it comes to me. I’m not thinking about commands or how to construct the drawing on a screen, I’m focused entirely on the design and where I want to take it.

With the holidays coming up, we’re thinking about houses when they’re full. Family visiting, friends staying over, and always one more person who needs a bed.

In this Nantucket home, built-in bunks make room for everyone while still giving each guest a little space of their own. Each bed is tucked into its own alcove with an individual reading light and dedicated storage below, so even a full bunk room can feel comfortable and personal.

A little fall color at one of our Connecticut homes. With pumpkins on the steps and the leaves turning gold overhead, this classic saltbox is ready for autumn.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween weekend, whether you’re trick-or-treating or handing out candy from the front porch!

The original layout left everyone gathering in one small room near the kitchen. We wanted to give the house a second center of gravity.

The new hub is the sunroom and bar, which connects directly to the pool and pergola through a large awning window. A twelve-foot accordion door opens the sunroom completely to the pool, while double doors make coming and going easy without crossing through the house.

The pool, outdoor kitchen, and pergola all grew from this new connection between inside and out. Inside, steel and glass shelving floats above the marble counter. Outside, custom geometric paneling gives the blue timber facade its own character.

This 1930s Colonial is full of details you might not notice at first. The clients were very interested in craft, so we had a lot of fun working small, personal elements into the architecture throughout the house.

At the entry, a “W” is subtly worked into the design at the top of the columns, a nod to the family’s last name. Look a little closer and you’ll find a maple inlay at the front door, sawtooth detailing on the columns, star-shaped medallions above the portico, and a sundial on the front gable. Inside, that same attention continues with fan-shaped paneling, custom niches, and even bird-shaped brackets and a clock integrated into the kitchen hood.

The details are subtle, but they’re everywhere once you start looking.

One of the goals of renovating this 1930s stone house was to make better use of its setting overlooking Long Island Sound. This solarium creates another place to enjoy that connection, with walls of wood-framed glass opening the room to the landscape and outdoor fireplace.

Throughout the renovation, we were careful about how new spaces like this met the original stone architecture, choosing materials and details that could bridge the home’s history with the way the family lives today.
