The Whistle Hill Lot 9 Residence is a defining example of RWH Architect’s vision for a new architectural era in Southern New Hampshire. With its bold geometry, refined material palette, and thoughtfully layered rooflines, this home embodies contemporary living while setting a fresh design standard for the region.
From the moment you approach the residence, the interplay of stone accents, vertical elements, and expansive windows establishes a striking yet inviting presence. Inside, a two-story entryway welcomes guests with light and volume, introducing an interior designed for both comfort and sophistication. The open-concept first floor seamlessly integrates the kitchen, great room, and dining/breakfast area, all flowing naturally toward a covered patio that extends the living space outdoors. A walk-in pantry, a private den, and a mudroom with built-in bench and hooks—conveniently located off the two-car attached garage, one bay featuring an oversized door—enhance the home’s functional rhythm. An expansive basement provides room for future recreation or storage, ensuring the home continues to evolve with the family who lives in it.
The second floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite designed as a private retreat. The suite features a generous walk-in closet and a luxurious soaking tub, paired with thoughtfully arranged natural light to create a sense of calm and rejuvenation. Two full bathrooms and one half bathroom support the needs of modern family living while maintaining architectural cohesion throughout the home.
Designing this residence presented several challenges that ultimately pushed the architectural expression forward. One key challenge was blending multiple rooflines into a unified modern aesthetic without losing the clarity of the home’s form. RWH resolved this by composing a series of carefully layered planes, each one calibrated to complement the others, resulting in a dynamic yet harmonious silhouette. Another challenge involved balancing the mix of exterior materials—such as stone, horizontal siding, and broad window openings—while maintaining a sense of order and visual stability. This was achieved by aligning materials with structural elements and strengthening vertical features, creating rhythm and cohesion across the façade. A further challenge was delivering an open, light-filled interior despite the structural demands of a two-story entry and several cantilevered forms. RWH overcame this through advanced framing techniques and discreet structural steel placement, allowing for expansive glazing and generous interior spans while preserving the home’s clean, uncluttered aesthetic.
The Whistle Hill Lot 9 Residence stands as a testament to forward-thinking residential design and the evolution of architectural expectations in the area. Through innovative solutions, intentional detailing, and a commitment to elevating everyday living, RWH Architect has created a home that not only meets the needs of modern families but also sets a new benchmark for contemporary architecture in the region.

This 1,200 square-foot Provincetown condominium lives large, both functionally and aesthetically, thanks to its recent renovation. The waterfront home, overlooking Cape Cod Bay, is part of an historic grouping of three individual buildings on Commercial Street that have been combined into condominiums.
Begun in November 2014 and completed just in time for summer in May 2016, b Architecture Studios and Cape Associates Builders worked with a budget of $366,000 to transform this prosaic dwelling into a stunning light-flooded space—designed to maximize both the living space and the mesmerizing views of the bay.
“The space was totally reconfigured,” said project manager Jon Ziperman. “It was a total gut job requiring leveling of floors, straightening of walls, removing a chimney and fireplace that ran up to the above neighbors’ unit.” The renovation also required a complete rewiring and plumbing system that involved wires and pipes that were integrated into the surrounding units. From wall to wall and floor to ceiling, there was nothing that could be salvaged from the original space.
One of the most prominent changes was moving the stairway from its original placement, where it originally broke up the living and dining space and blocked views to the bay beyond. The stairway now sits on the opposite side of the condominium. With the stairs tucked to the left side of the living area, the sightline now extends from the entry straight through the living and dining areas to the water. The new design allowed for storage space beneath the stairs, which lead to an airy sleeping loft, and room for a desk niche. A light well, where the former sleeping area was, and new windows bring abundant natural light to the central living area.
Innovative features in the entry room include a Murphy bed and sliding glass door separating it from the living area, so that the space can double as a guest room.
“The Murphy bed fit in nicely, allowing for a flush wall at the entry/guest room and a desk niche in the adjacent room,” Brown said. “Convincing the client to create the wrap-around chair rail, lined up with the divided lights of the sliding glass door, makes a purposeful connection in a small space.”
Neolith countertops in the open kitchen and details like the flush minimal baseboard contribute to the sleek, modern aesthetic, now complemented by the owner’s contemporary furnishings. This complete renovation has rendered this compact home worthy of its beautiful setting.
