When our client bought the lot of their future home in a historic Seacoast NH town, they faced the challenge of complimenting their traditional, history-rich neighborhood while also staying true to their own modern-day preferences. We incorporated the client’s personal style by creating a more contemporary interior, with a traditional exterior. An open concept living space, modern light fixtures and bold splashes of color elevate the interior from a typical traditional New England home. Unique design features include the vaulted ceilings of white washed poplar in the master bedroom and the custom built-ins finished in a deep saturated blue in the study. Staying true to its coastal surroundings, teal blue finishes and fabrics, seeded glass accents and White Dove millwork throughout the space provide a relaxed atmosphere. Dark walnut flooring throughout the home creates a warm and natural texture. In the kitchen, Serena and Lily woven counter stools add a fun element against to the subtle greens and blues in the glass backsplash tile. The dining room includes custom dining chairs that picked up the fun sense of color sprinkled throughout the house and a sea-green console table. Nicknamed “The Birdhouse”, the house displays the client’s affinity for birds which is showcased through various avian elements in the home including the eagle weathervane on the cupola.
