Set in the garden beside a traditional Dutch Colonial home in Wellesley, Flavin conceived this boldly modern retreat, built of steel, wood and concrete. The building is designed to engage the client’s passions for gardening, entertaining and restoring vintage Vespa scooters. The Vespa repair shop and garage are on the first floor. The second floor houses a home office and veranda. On top is a roof deck with space for lounging and outdoor dining, surrounded by a vegetable garden in raised planters. The structural steel frame of the building is left exposed; and the side facing the public side is draped with a mahogany screen that creates privacy in the building and diffuses the dappled light filtered through the trees.

A large addition and renovation to an existing stone cottage. The blending of the spaces and materials makes it impossible to define where the original house stops and the new space begins. The entry is part of the addition. alise o'brien photography

BeachHaus is built on a previously developed site on Siesta Key. It sits directly on the bay but has Gulf views from the upper floor and roof deck. The client loved the old Florida cracker beach houses that are harder and harder to find these days. They loved the exposed roof joists, ship lap ceilings, light colored surfaces and inviting and durable materials. Given the risk of hurricanes, building those homes in these areas is not only disingenuous it is impossible. Instead, we focused on building the new era of beach houses; fully elevated to comfy with FEMA requirements, exposed concrete beams, long eaves to shade windows, coralina stone cladding, ship lap ceilings, and white oak and terrazzo flooring. The home is Net Zero Energy with a HERS index of -25 making it one of the most energy efficient homes in the US. It is also certified NGBS Emerald. Photos by Ryan Gamma Photography

Photo credit: Michael Moran/OTTO. We designed this home with a flat roof so that you can barely see the large arrays of PVs (solar panels). If you look very carefully, you can see the outline of the panels above the eaves, but they're almost impossible to spot. The design concept for this home is that you wouldn't see anything on top of the roofs, but the truth is that the photovoltaics contribute significantly to the home's energy efficiency. The home is LEED certified and our clients tell us it's comfortable and cozy throughout the year.

This Spanish style Californian home used our Antique Barnboard Oak flooring in all 6.5" wide planks. Aging patina, stress cracks and some original saw marks combined with nail holes and solid knots give this grade of reclaimed oak flooring a very unique character that is impossible to match with new flooring. For more information on this flooring please call us at (800) 333-7610 or email sales@appalachianwoods.com
