The existing galley kitchen was opened up fully, the hardest part, to create a fully open concept living for this family who loves to cook and entertain. The custom kitchen island has a beautiful fluted detail on the back which makes for great view from the great room. The backsplash is a travertine tile in a large format and almost feels like a slab.

Coastal Modern Farmhouse Flavin Architects designed a structure that inherits its silhouette from the New England farmhouse and orients itself to the adjacent wetlands. The elegance of its shape is an effect of an austere geometry. The cedar shingle cladding underneath the lines of the metal roof reinforces this sense of confident understatement. A screened porch looks over a gentle downslope and a stretch of verdant wetlands into Kettle Cove. The interior extends the sense of local inheritance with a cadence of heavy timber beams that cross a tongue-and-groove ceiling to meet exposed steel beams. This set up echoes the simple framing of local colonial homes. A wood-burning fireplace also evokes this history, and with its mantle of reclaimed railroad ties, and the raw edged monolithic hearth, creates a sense of organic relation to the surrounding landscape. The interior symmetry of our Kettle Cove Farmhouse is illuminated by a generous sweep of windows that face east toward the rising sun. Flavin Architects has created a sense of flow from the interior to the exterior of the house.

A 30' square floor plan with 4 interior columns creates the structure in conjunction with all SIPS construction. All siding was pre-finished with only minor site touch-up. Heavy wide white trim off-sets the simple monopoly geometry.

The exterior is is a low-maintenance, yet modern looking, metal with timberframe accents, black trim and simple window geometries.

A detached garage and generator building flank the driveway and hint at the architecture of the house echoing simple symmetrical geometries, classically proportioned and unencumbered by ornamental embellishments. Woodruff Brown Photography

A graceful outbuilding flanking the driveway conceals the home’s generator. Rich architectural details such as a vented cupola and flared roof, limestone quoins and cornice, and adjoining gooseneck cut stone site wall borrow simple symmetrical geometries and classical proportions from French provincial house beyond.

The architecture borrows from French provincial examples: simple symmetrical geometries classically proportioned and unencumbered by ornamental embellishments converge in an alluring composition of robust flaxen-hued stone walls, deep green handcrafted French casement windows, and rich tones of red clay roof tiles. Cut limestone quoins accent corners and openings. Woodruff Brown Photography

Manchester has a woven-look texture with a simple gridded geometry. Tufted of J Mish Mills’ proprietary EccoTex blended wool, Manchester is offered in a palette of seven warm, neutral colors that reflect the tones of newly sheared fleece. Colors range from deep tonal heather brown, through modulated, tinted beiges, tan and softened grey to a warm creamy ivory.
