Jacob Lilley Architects Location: Nantucket, MA, USA Once a eel drying shack "smallcraft" has housed Nantucket families for over 100 years. The extensive renovation required raising the house above the floodplain, replacing most structural components, and updating septic and mechanical systems. As a historic structure the exterior design remains largely unchanged with most of the design effort focused on creating a warm and contemporary interior with hints of its nautical upbringing.

Design work started with a modest design focused on improving the kitchen, living, dining and outdoor living areas. However, a feasibility study determined that a better option was to fully remodel the existing dwelling, resulting in reclaiming some of the front veranda to increase the size of the living and dining areas. The remaining section created an alcove to the main bedroom, increasing privacy and creating a dedicated outdoor area. A large awning, cantilevered so as not to impose on the existing septic, created a separate outdoor living area. A teak facade, that will weather to grey in the salty sea air over time, was added to extend high above the box gutter, conceal the solar panels and cap the ends of the separation walls. The roof was repitched and the internal ceilings raked upwards from the teak facade, thereby increasing the internal volume and allowing for the addition of high-light windows in rooms on the ridge side of the dwelling to capture the vista, increase natural light, ventilation and sense of space. A skillion roof outside the back kitchen area was strategically positioned out of sight from the inside of the home and created a second outdoor area in the rear courtyard, serving as the main entry point. A gate house was incorporated in the rear fence to enhance the entry. The rear courtyard reclaimed an existing parking bay to create space for the cellar/music room.

The front garden, a stylized meadow built over a septic field, is finally installed and mulch as of June, 2020. Large masses of colorful flowering perennials and grasses fill the interior while specimen conifers and Japanese maples provide colorful and textural interest, as well as privacy, around the perimeter of the garden.

Carport addition with enclosed gutter system. The look is finished with bull rock surround the perimeter of the home. The entry door area is lined by a stainless cable rail system that extends the perimeter of the deck system. A custom removable deck was also built over the septic area.

In the first phase, we adjusted the irrigation system, began laying the dry creek beds, and installed the sawn limestone slabs, crushed limestone rock mulch, and limestone boulders that were excavated from the site to create a patio space off the back steps and enhance the appearance of the septic field. Native grasses and tradescantia pallida are beautifully incorporated into this space.

Conifers provide four season interest. Here, picea pungens 'Zafiro' anchors the space, with one of four picea glauca 'Pendula' is seen in the rear. The ground cover is 'Golden Pacific' shore juniper.

This sustainable project was completed on a private 80 acre view parcel in the hills above Corralitos, CA. The owners were drawn to us through the Green Building link on our website and after an initial meeting, hired us to manage the preliminary feasibility studies, site work, design and eventual construction. With this type of project, we start at the beginning; making sure that development on the site is both possible and practical before we spend a lot of our client’s budget on plans that may not be suitable. After we determined that building on the property would be permitted by the Santa Cruz County Building and Planning Departments, we completed several feasibility steps that included: •A geologic review • Percolation test (for septic) • Water well probability analysis • Grading analysis • Biologic review • Site survey and topographic mapping • Earthquake zone and archeological clearances With these steps finished, we set up interviews with several local architects that we partner with to find the one that was most appealing to our client. The owners were integral to the process and agreed with our choice of Daniel Silvernail, Architect. He impressed the clients with his gracious nature and open attitude; welcoming feedback and the preferences they had throughout the design process. In addition to being very reasonably priced, Mr. Silvernail quickly gave his attention to the preliminary design plans. After client reviews and approval the full architectural and construction blueprints were finished. We had the complete ready-to-submit-for-permit documents in less than 10 weeks; this included structural engineering, energy calculations and Green Building ratings. We were all impressed by his professionalism throughout the design and building process.

This project was a complete tear down and rebuild on a very small, waterfront lot. Zoning, civil engineering of the septic system, and structural engineering for flooding and hurricane resistance were all driving factors, but the final design was nothing short of simple eloquence. The program was for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 3 season house that made the most of the Long Island Sound waterfront exposure. The footprint is basically 24 ft x 24 ft, the same as a two car garage. Despite being a cube more or less, all the rooms that matter front on the water side. The stairs, baths and circulation back up to the street side. Total gross living space is just under 1,200 sq. ft. Photo: Robert Coolidge

This charming Mequon cottage was in desperate need of TLC, so we updated everything from head to toe. Several walls on the main level were removed to create an open concept living space. The kitchen was expanded and includes new countertops, ceiling-height cabinets, lighting, fixtures, appliances and a backsplash. The main level floors were replaced and the upper level was refinished. Two existing bathrooms were updated and a third master bathroom was added! The four car garage was given a major face lift which included new siding, garage doors, and an addition of a rec room on the second level. Heating throughout the the garage building was added including in the newly created office space which also includes it’s own bathroom. Updates to the mechanicals, well, septic, and landscaping completed the project and make it one of our largest transformations to date!
