The starting point
An honest conversation about how the space should feel, not just what it should contain. We mapped the routines, views and practical constraints before drawing a single plan.
Residential / Coastal Maine
A quieter way to meet the coast.
A low cedar silhouette follows the edge of the dunes. Inside, a sequence of sheltered rooms opens toward the Atlantic, balancing expansive views with places to retreat.

A considered response.
The design began with a close reading of the existing conditions: the movement of daylight, the way people arrive, and the moments when a room needs to feel open or protected. We kept the material palette restrained so those qualities could remain the focus.
The material language
Natural surfaces carry the project: timber that will develop a patina, durable stone underfoot and softly textured walls that respond to the changing light.
The everyday details
Storage sits where it is needed. Lighting supports the way each room is used. Transitions are deliberate, with quiet places to pause between one activity and the next.
