Nestled at the end of a private road on a forested riverfront property, our client’s cottage will be expanded on two sides to meet the needs of a growing extended family while maintaining the connection with the tranquil setting. The renovation/addition is designed to enhance the view of the river and welcome an abundance of natural sunlight from the southeast exposure. The original cottage was insulated and winterized, but the layout was a little too cozy when everyone gathered, and it was designed for warm-weather use. The vision is to expand it for use as our clients’ four-season retirement home and a comfortable vacation destination for their family and friends. The spacious great room addition and dining room caters to large family gatherings and a new kitchen boasts a large island with seating, significantly more counter space, and a generous pantry. The spacious new entryway off the covered porch welcomes guests and makes it much easier to shed coats and boots during the colder months. The spacious walk-in closet in the front foyer provides plentiful storage space for outerwear, hats, boots, shoes, and more. The laundry is now conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen. Creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces, the expansive new screened porch will accommodate family and friends as they gather to enjoy the beautiful view and warm breezes off the water without the annoyance of bugs. On the lower level, the expanded space includes a new 5th bedroom, office, storage room and mechanical room. The exterior reflects a Modern Craftsman style, integrating existing with new to create a cohesive look. The project posed a unique challenge due to the irregular lot and the need to work with the existing locations of the cottage and existing detached garage. Our team navigated these constraints, creating a design that optimizes the existing and new space and maintains a strong visual connection with the surrounding landscape.

Traditional Thai homes are usually built as a cluster of physically separated rooms arranged around a large central terrace. Interpreting the traditional typology of the Thai houses, the Residence Navathani consists in two parallel wings, separated by a large garden and a swimming pool. The objective of the stone architecture is to give a sense of unity and blend the building with trees, plants and other natural landscape. Trees are often allowed to grow in the central area of the traditional Thai house with plants always featured prominently to create a strong relationship with nature. The choice of Thai travertine as the main stone for the building stems from the following objectives: first, the stone must display a strong natural character with contrasting color hues and crystalline veins, which contribute to blending the architecture into the landscape. Second, the design of the stone provides a sense of unity to the building. The façade of each wing displays an array of columns of various widths and spacings and there is an alignment of the columns between the two wings. The texture is rough on the outside face of the columns and honed on the sides as it continues through the window to the inside of the house. The two wings are connected by a long screen wall that separates the drop-off area from the private areas. This wall is pierced with square openings which helps to show a relationship between the two areas. The façade facing the entrance features stone in contrasting but related ways: the right hand wing is clad with honed stone on top of a large window, while the opposite wing displays a chiseled stone wall on the bottom with a large window on top. The architecture extends to the outside of the right-hand wing with a private theater of a modern contemporary design. The stone featured on the façade changes to a minimalist grey basalt while continuing the column concept with the alternate textures grooved on the facing and honed on the sides.

This stacked arrangement of sea glass and natural stones serves as a sculptural accent beside the garden bench. The interplay of smooth, translucent glass and textured river stones creates a soothing contrast, echoing water and light. Placed within the shaded seating nook, it enhances the sense of calm and continuity, linking art and nature in a quiet corner designed for pause and reflection.
