This 2,700 square-foot renovation of an existing brick structure has provided a stunning, year round vacation home in the Lake Sunapee region. Located on the same footprint as the original brick structure, the new, one-story residence is oriented on the site to take advantage of the expansive views of Mts. Sunapee and Kearsarge. By implementing a mix of siding treatments, textures and materials, and unique rooflines the home complements the surrounding site, and caps off the top of the grassy hill. New entertainment rooms and porches are located so that the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains are always prominent. Dressed in bright and airy colors, the spaces welcome conversation and relaxation in spectacular settings. The design of three unique spaces, each of which experience the site differently, contributed to the overall layout of the residence. From the Adirondack chairs on the colonnaded porch to the cushioned sofas of the sunroom, personalized touches of exquisite taste provide an undeniably comforting atmosphere to the site.

The Olympic View house is a two story home designed for a couple newly retired from careers in academia on the East Coast of the United States. The resultant building footprint reflects complex site constraints in a manner which ultimately accommodated the Owner’s goals for the house. The house is 2,700 sf and includes all main floor living for day to day functions for aging in place. The house is a contemporary expression of Northwest Regionalism accommodating serious weather conditions and aesthetic considerations for massing, light and presence. The house commands views of Port Orchard Narrows and the Olympic Mountain Range beyond through a membrane of glazing rather than conventional punched window openings. The glazing membrane in-turn allows the solid massing elements of the house to be expressed and meaningful. The strength of the center core of the building is emphasized by a framework of battered bases on each corner. The tops of the bases are held short of the roof plane by two feet allowing the roof to appear to float above the body of the house. The roof then acts as more of a canopy allowing light to penetrate the building at all times during the day and be a lantern for the streetscape at night.

A Bold Yet Simple Cherry Kitchen Remodel by Matt at Uncharted Design This cherry kitchen remodel by Matt at Uncharted Design blends bold style with simple elegance. The original space was closed off by load-bearing walls, limiting light and flow. By removing those barriers, Matt opened the room dramatically, allowing natural light to flood in and connect the kitchen to the rest of the home. Rich cherry cabinets anchor the design with timeless warmth, paired with matte black hardware for a clean, modern contrast. Southwest-style tile adds regional charm without distracting from the stunning mountain view—its earthy tones and geometric patterns echo the desert landscape beyond. A central island provides seating, storage, and prep space, topped with creamy quartz for a refined finish. Every detail reflects the homeowner’s vision of “simple but bold,” executed with expert craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Matt at Uncharted Design delivers spaces that feel personal, functional, and beautifully connected to their surroundings—this remodel is a perfect example.

The Elliott Bay House is located on an urban site facing Puget Sound in Washington State. The architectural massing of the house has been wrapped around a south-facing, courtyard dominated by a large reflecting pool with two “floating” basalt boulders. The main living space has sweeping westerly views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The east side of the living space is the courtyard with reflecting pool, providing a sense of intimacy and quiet in contrast to the dramatic views on the west side. Similar to other FINNE projects, a strong sense of “crafted modernism” is present in the house. A water jet-cut steel fence and gate leads to the house entry. Stainless steel stands elevate the basalt boulders in the pool so they hover slightly above the water’s surface. Roof drainage from the living space drops onto the basalt boulder in a 10-ft. waterfall. Exterior siding is custom stained red cedar with two different patterns and colors. The striking steel and wood stairs have water jet-cut steel railings with a pattern based on hand-drawn ink brush strokes. The beech interior cabinets have a custom topographic milled pattern called “imaginary landscape.” Freeform steel lighting bars in the ceiling tie together the kitchen and dining spaces. The house is highly energy efficient and sustainable. All roof drainage is directed to the reflecting pool for collection. The house is insulated 30% higher than code. Radiant heating is used throughout; generous glass areas provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs are used for sun and snow protection; interior wood is FSC certified. The house has been pre-wired for photovoltaic roof panels, and an electric vehicle charging station has been installed in the garage.

Nestled in the tranquil and picturesque mountainous region of Cyprus, the Hillside Haven project stands as a true testament to the harmonious integration of contemporary architecture with the natural environment. The location, architecture, interior design, exterior design, and landscape design were all carefully planned and executed to create a seamless connection between the house and its natural surroundings. The result is a serene and calming oasis that is perfect for relaxation and unwinding. Interior area / 575 sq.m Covered terraces / 183 sq.m. Opened terraces / 240 sq.m Location / Cyprus, Limassol Year / 2023 THE LOCATION AND ARCHITECTURE The plot of land where the Hillside Haven project was built played a crucial role in the design of the house. The location was carefully selected to take advantage of the stunning natural beauty of the Cyprus mountains, with the orientation of the house being optimized to maximize sunlight and take in the breathtaking mountain views. The topography of the site also provided ample opportunities for arranging outdoor living spaces, such as terraces, which were combined with the picturesque natural surroundings to create a seamless connection between the house and its environment. THE INTERIOR DESIGN The interior of the Hillside Haven project was designed with both practicality and luxury in mind. The house features four bedrooms and two separate bathrooms on the first floor, a spacious hall, and a master bedroom with a wardrobe, an additional bedroom, and a dressing room on the second floor. The interior spaces are characterized by a minimalist design, with an emphasis on clean lines and open spaces that maximize natural light. THE EXTERIOR DESIGN Featuring a modern and sophisticated facade that is both elegant and dynamic. The front of the house is characterized by a timber screening that provides both privacy and a sense of warmth and texture. Meanwhile, the rear facade features a dynamic composition of vertical wooden laths that create a striking visual effect. The carefully selected materials for the exterior include natural wood color for vertical and horizontal cladding slats, graphite-colored zinc roofing, natural wooden hemmed roof, pigmented concrete in white color, and natural stone veneer. The result is a house that is both beautiful and durable, capable of withstanding the harsh weather conditions of the Cyprus mountains.

The topography of the site also provided ample opportunities for arranging outdoor living spaces, such as terraces, which were combined with the picturesque natural surroundings to create a seamless connection between the house and its environment. THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN The landscape design of the Hillside Haven project was carefully planned to preserve the original amount of plantings and greenery as much as possible, while still adding a glass outdoor pool that has a reference point to the beautiful mountainous landscapes of Limassol. The pool is surrounded by a stone deck, creating a serene and calming oasis that is perfect for relaxation and unwinding. The Hillside Haven project is a stunning example of modern and elegant architecture, designed to provide a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
