The gathering island has a furnished feel, thanks to upholstered seating and shaded fixtures.

A steel-and-glass partition and door were inspired by the home’s original leaded windows; it maintains separation while filling the adjacent pantry with light.

This kitchen reads old-world elegance with a thoughtful mix of materials. The beams were wrapped, and an existing table was stained and adapted to make an island that feels like a found object. It is topped with a Nero Marquina marble in a leather finish. The pendant is from Visual Comfort & Co.

High-gloss cabinetry by Plainville’s H&B Woodworking was always part of the plan, but the original brick was a serendipitous discovery.

Decluttering the hill behind the pool created a grassy play space while the trees offer privacy screening.

The geometric sensibility of the new covered porch influenced the outdoor scheme. “We paid close attention to the house design, so the landscape feels like an extension,” says landscape designer Lina Cangrejo.

Stone walls give structure to the landscape. The pool deck is Madras Grey sandstone, a natural material from India that has a softer texture and stays cooler in the sun than bluestone.

A dramatic natural rock outcropping is framed in this view from a path along the new barn-style garage.

On the street side, the renovation included construction of a new garage connected to the house by a glass-framed breezeway. Sanni and Cangrejo designed a motor court to create a sense of arrival. The breezeway also provides entrée to a stepping-stone path leading to the pool. The signature stone walls extend behind the new structure.

Urban Electric Co. flush-mount lights don’t distract from the sky-blue ceiling. The painted ‘carpet’ on the floor features a glazing that gives the colors a woven look. The high-gloss final finish helps bounce light around the space.

A coterie of seating from Kettal, including the sofa and chairs as well as the side and coffee tables, creates a spot for highbrow conversation and tucking into beach reads alike. Throw pillows in Christopher Farr Cloth and Pierre Frey were made by La Regence.

Lunch served at a Holly Hunt table features views of Arizona Needle, artist Tom Faulkner’s garden sculpture.

“I love the circle window,” says interior designer Phillip Thomas of the existing architectural element. “It’s totally different, totally unexpected, and takes it from being a utilitarian device to something that has some artistic value to it.”

An Urban Electric Co. chandelier supplies modernity while floors hand-painted by Chris Pearson ground the porch. The copper floor lamp and ceramic stool are from The Future Perfect; the console table is Andrianna Shamaris.

The cedar bench flips up to create more space in the tight retreat.

“One of our charges was to touch lightly on the site,” says architect Tom Murdough. “Elevating the structure off the ground, letting it float, helped in that regard and also heightens the sense of escape.”

Murdough Design project manager Jenny Tjia managed the execution of the fully retractable glazing that connects the inside of the tree house to the 120-square-foot deck—and the landscape beyond.

We created a dialogue between the trees themselves and the columns that support the tree house,” Murdough says. A transom on the back end and walls that turn into windows as they reach the ceiling bring in light from all four sides.

Architect Marcel Breuer chose to whitewash some of the exterior stone while he left the rest natural. The juxtaposition creates contrast between light and dark, organic texture and modernity. The combination is found throughout the structure

A mahogany fence creates privacy around the newly built outdoor shower, while a mahogany hinged swing door doubles as a place to hang towels. The designers selected the water-resistant wood for its patina: it turns a silvery gray when exposed to the elements.

A handcrafted spa from Maine Cedar Hot Tubs sits under a canopy of trees. The company transforms responsibly harvested cedar into bespoke spas using a fabrication method that allows for the functionality of a fiberglass tub.

The low wall at the front entrance of this modernist home is original to the design, but Andover Landscape Design and Construction planted the pachysandra. Bluestone pavers were added, as well as landscape lights for wayfinding at sundown.

In a corner of the primary suite patio, a hand-carved stone basin for a recirculating water feature completes the meditation garden.

When the project began, the primary suite patio included an untended koi pond, raised beds, and overgrown bamboo. A meditation garden featuring boulders and haircap moss as well as a seating area took their place.

Landscape architect Tyson Triplett planted a variety of grasses along with coastal favorites like mugo pine and beach plum. “There’s always a really great sea breeze,” he says. “The grasses are constantly in motion.”

The primary bedroom, on the home’s ground level, features a palette of neutrals, greens, and soft yellows, mimicking the view of pond and golf course. Draperies of custom hand-blocked Galbraith & Paul fabric hang from Lucite rods so as not to distract from the vista.

In the living room, designer Meghan De Maria layered subtle coastal touches, including the string-wrapped arms of the chandelier and a pair of woven chairs at the game table. The vivid artwork is by California-based artist Hiejin Yoo.

The kitchen’s palette continues the sophisticated coastal theme with blue ceramic tile, white cabinetry, and the sandy tones of the oak island and cane-back chairs.

Saltonstall Architects collaborated with interior designer Kate Coughlin to create a custom kitchen with a series of small service spaces that open to a larger family area.

A built-in cabinet in the den has interior accents created by Patina Designs; the hand-painted artwork, which runs across the top and bottom of each shelf, was influenced by the room’s fabrics.

Sauvage wallpaper from Zak + Fox adorns a dish pantry and bar that sits between the kitchen and main dining room.

The dining room’s wallpaper is Hillevi from Peter Fasano; the Martin & Brockett console sits alongside a rug from Steven King.

Interior designer Manuel De Santaren gave a first-floor powder room character with a bold wallpaper by Thibaut.

To satisfy the client’s request for softer lines, Nicholaeff designed an archway over the Louis J. Solomon bed in the primary suite.

The property slopes twenty feet from front to back, allowing the lower level to be transformed into a light-filled living space and the pool to catch plenty of light while retaining privacy. “We created the pool to have a direct relationship with the harbor,” says Sudbury Design Group’s Michael Coutu.

Coutu created a variety of terrace areas, including a firepit, to help bring the backyard down to scale. “The walk-out basement sort of serves as a cabana,” he says, eliminating the need for a pool house.

The living room features custom sofas by Decore Upholstering, a custom cocktail table by Masterpiece Woodworks, and a Steven King area rug. The painting is Late Summer by Carl Wuermer.

The library connects to the living room through a pocket door.

Architect Doreve Nicholaeff designed all interior cabinetry to coordinate with the transoms above the front door, “So we have this sort of continuous line that works through the house that ties everything together and makes it feel calm and organized and orderly,” she says.

To add layers and coziness to the large primary suite, the Dahers designed a walnut headboard that spans almost the entire length of the wall.

Located behind the kitchen, the screened porch has the vibe of a tree house, and a new HVAC system makes it usable year-round. A large Ralph Lauren pendant complements the dramatic roofline.

A wall of shelves in the garden-level lounge masks the door into the billiards room.

In the kitchen, also part of the great room, Hector Finch pendants illuminate dual islands and reflect off the glossy zellige-tile backsplash. New Hampshire’s JH Klein Wassink crafted the cabinetry.

The homeowners of this Lake Winnipesaukee retreat requested a clean, northern European vibe, so designers Paula and Clayton Daher covered the great room’s coffered ceiling and fireplace wall in white oak. The artwork, by Gotiez, is part of the owners’ collection.

Meridian Construction replaced the existing dock’s pressure-treated boards with ipe decking and trim. Just out of frame is a new sandy “perch beach.”
