Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Hi - I just read the "how-to" on this and it says that the designer tacked the maps up using clear push pins and didn't go the further step to actually paste them to the wall because it looked fine as is. I'm trying to picture push pins even clear ones all over the walls - since there are multiple maps. The rest of the decor seems so perfect to leave push pins. Any chance we could see a close up showing the pins? I'd love to do this in our coastal NH home and would definitely be more apt to knowing I could leave the pins! Thanks »
Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Good question regarding the push pins on the nautical charts. Because this wall is tucked to the back of the space, leaving the push pins works just fine. If your wall receives more traffic, or is located in a humid area (such as coastal NH), you might want to consider using wallpaper paste (flour-based non-toxic recipes can be found online).
Good luck!

Supa Doors Very Nice Look Lisa on the Barn Doors. Love the mixture of glass and V-groove panels. We do something similar out of solid MDF on our Supa Doors, and saw them faux finish the doors onsite. Being in the door business it's nice to see select designers really using doors as a feature of the project. Kudos.
Home office. This homeowner wanted to celebrate the coast from her landlocked town via nautical charts on the walls and this sailboat, can be viewed from other rooms in the house, even when these glass doors are closed.
Teaser: This interior designer will be sharing how she created the nautical chart wall in an upcoming Houzz Tour.
This nautical-themed space is in what's known as an "away room," which is a quiet spot that can be isolated from the rest of the house. Part of smart, sustainable design is to plan for the future and provide multiple uses within the floor plan. While a current owner needs an office, this room also connects to a full, ADA-accessible bath and can serve as a first floor bedroom if their needs should change or if future owners have different needs. The doors have been outfitted for window treatments for privacy should this change ever take place.Here's how you can make a fabulous nautical chart wall
Nautical PrintsTake one model boat and mix it with a nautically inspired wallpaper, and you have a vintage take on the classic coastal look. I just love this mix — it's simple, and it works in any room.
