Working with renowned Design Architect Brian Hemmingway of Vancouver, Flavin was responsible for collaborating on the design and served as Architect of Record for this modern house. The house nestles in the exposed granite ledge of the rural New England landscape. A restrained palette of stone, natural finished wood and zinc enhances the connection to the land.

This single family house is a ground up construction that extends over 4 floors. We were responsible for the architectural design as well as the interiors design.

Nestled within 15 acres of breathtaking landscape, the open floor plan of the M Rresidence Project provides a canvas for the artistic pursuits of a family of four. Our responsibility encompassed the thoughtful design of the interior space, entailing comprehensive services in interior architecture and the selection of both hard and soft finishes. Within this creative journey, we artfully incorporated surprising elements and distinctively crafted moments of extraordinary interest. The resulting composition is an epitome of refined elegance, harmoniously blending form and function in a seamless union.

The need to fit as many cars as possible into the limited site left very little room for green space or plantings. In response, the parking structure itself became a virtual topiary fantasy, a sculptural element covered in a blownup graphic of foliage. Casey Dunn Photography
