The client’s coastal New England roots inspired this Shingle style design for a lakefront lot. With a background in interior design, her ideas strongly influenced the process, presenting both challenge and reward in executing her exact vision. Vintage coastal style grounds a thoroughly modern open floor plan, designed to house a busy family with three active children. A primary focus was the kitchen, and more importantly, the butler’s pantry tucked behind it. Flowing logically from the garage entry and mudroom, and with two access points from the main kitchen, it fulfills the utilitarian functions of storage and prep, leaving the main kitchen free to shine as an integral part of the open living area.

This front yard was designed and built by Tony Vitale of Landscape Logic. The yard was designed to be low-maintenance and drought tolerant which is has been since it was installed. The house is on a corner and gets lots of exposure and compliments from people walking by.

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.
