### All 2 reviews

**★★★★★ — Undo Redo, May 2019**

> We hired Tim Giguere and Bill Soupcoff of TMS Architects to re-envision our lake house in New Hampshire. The project required an imaginative top-to-bottom rebuild that needed to conform to an awkward footprint while subject to a complex array of waterfront and zoning constraints. We couldn’t be happier with the elegant solution that TMS achieved. Their attention to detail is unmatched and collaborating with them was a pleasure. They were professional, responsive and thoughtful throughout the process, and we are very grateful for their vision and expertise.

**★★★★★ — Clear Advantage Windows & Doors, May 2017**

> Tim has been an exceptional architect to work with, he provides us with challenging window and door specifications that we thoroughly enjoy trying to meet in order to satisfy home owners.  We as window and door distributors always enjoy the unlimited potential configurations that arise due to creative personalities like Tim.

  - Description: This project consisted of a complete gut and floor plan reconfiguration of this victorian renovation project in the Exeter Village District. A new masonry fireplace was added and spaces opened up to create a more open flowing living concept that allowed natural light to wash over the interior spaces. The Interior detailing played off the existing exterior victorian detailing without mimicking it, bringing the interior feel of the home to a more present era, without loosing its connection to the…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Beautiful countertops - Edge Profile used?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me what Edge profile did you use on the countertops?  Eased Edge, Bevel, or Ogee?  Thanks

A: profile was a top and bottom pencil bead, essentially just an eased edge radius on the top and bottom about the radius of a standard pencil

**Q: Is that a TV over the fireplace, and if so, what model?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is it art or a tv?

A: It is an art tv. A few manufacturers make them and they have special display screens that turn to art when the tv is powered down. I believe this one may be a philips but I am not positive

**Q: where did you get the shutters with the pine tree detail?** *(in Photo Questions)*

May I ask where you bought the shutters with the pine tree detail?

A: The shutters were milled by Beech River Mill http://beechrivermill.com

**Q: do you have a picture of the entire bathroom with the stone shower?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Other picture of this bathroom are in the project “Water’s Edge” here on Houzz

**Q: beautiful railing** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color is dark hand railing?

A: The railing is a Sipele Mahogany stained with a dark stain. I don't have the exact stain information we used but it was most likely a dark/ebony color similar to Zar Stain's Black Onyx color.

**Q: love this linear suspension light** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me who makes it, or where to find it?
thank you

A: That fixture is a Hubberton Forge 131234. I would recommend checking their website to find a dealer depending on where your located.
