SV DesignWhat began as a renovation project morphed into a new house, driven by the natural beauty of the site.
The new structures are perfectly aligned with the coastline, and take full advantage of the views of ocean, islands, and shoals. The location is within walking distance of town and its amenities, yet miles away in the privacy it affords. The house is nestled on a nicely wooded lot, giving the residence screening from the street, with an open meadow leading to the ocean on the rear of the lot.
The design concept was driven by the serenity of the site, enhanced by textures of trees, plantings, sand and shoreline. The newly constructed house sits quietly in a location advantageously positioned to take full advantage of natural light and solar orientations. The visual calm is enhanced by the natural material: stone, wood, and metal throughout the home.
The main structures are comprised of traditional New England forms, with modern connectors serving to unify the structures. Each building is equally suited for single floor living, if that future needs is ever necessary. Unique too is an underground connection between main house and an outbuilding.
With their flowing connections, no room is isolated or ignored; instead each reflects a different level of privacy and social interaction.
Just as there are layers to the exterior in beach, field, forest and oceans, the inside has a layered approach. Textures in wood, stone, and neutral colors combine with the warmth of linens, wools, and metals. Personality and character of the interiors and its furnishings are tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Rooms are arranged and organized in an intersection of public and private spaces. The quiet palette within reflects the nature outside, enhanced with artwork and accessories.
Parkwood HomesThe Cape May III - Southern Vernacular
The classic American porch, often referred to as a veranda prior to World War II, was the center of social interaction. The Cape May III is graced by a traditional double-height porch, a staple of Southern small towns. The Greek Revival detailing, with corner pilasters supporting a pedimented gable, was also ubiquitous in the South. The french doors opening onto the veranda were favored in the pre-air-conditioner era for the refreshing whole house breezes and ample light they offered.

Considered Space, LLCThe original kitchen was cut off from the living spaces, so we opened up the space and reconfigured it for better social interaction and functionality. We added an 8' island, clad in Borghini quartz, ran a gas line to support the Thor high end appliance package and turned the window into a slider to enable access to a new view deck.

Finn Design Inc.This elegant kitchen renovation represents the best trends in efficiency, sustainability and functionality. A redesign of the space puts new appliances in a more functional working triangle. The large island, with space for barstools, is friendly to social interaction. Overall, neutral colors and styles, along with custom woodworking, make the space timeless. It’s also sustainable and forward-thinking: No particle board was used in these cabinets, so there are no VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Wood materials were sourced in North America and made locally in Melbourne, Florida.
Energy-saving technology includes dimmable LED light panels, which make the translucent, recycled-glass backsplashes glow under wall cabinets. LED under-cabinet lights are controlled separately, and there is motion-sensor-activated LED toe-kick lighting around the cabinets' base.
Lamont Bros. Design & ConstructionThis Portland kitchen transformation focused on reimagining the flow and functionality of the space, while also refreshing its look and feel. The original layout featured a peninsula that created a visual and physical barrier between the cooking and dining areas—and the patio outside—limiting both movement and social interaction.
The homeowners goal was to remove this dividing element and replacing it with a thoughtfully designed custom island that serves as both a functional workspace and a natural gathering point. This strategic change opened up the entire space, creating a seamless flow while maintaining distinct zones for cooking and dining.
Because one of the homeowners is a talented woodworker, we were able to incorporate some really lovely, custom handmade elements throughout the kitchen and dining room.
The result is a kitchen that not only functions better but creates a more inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining.

Grossmueller's Design ConsultantsAn open connection between the kitchen and dining area, reinforces the importance of flow and ease of social interaction. The kitchen was designed to complement warm hardwood pieces, creating a balanced contrast against the light-colored built-ins. The open layout allows natural light from two skylights to filter throughout the space, enhancing brightness and continuity while supporting a welcoming environment for gathering and entertaining.
SunSwallow Design, LLCThis was an Addition/Renovation for a young couple and their two children, to an existing house that was originally designed and built in 1939. Like many homes of this era, the Kitchen was not developed as a place of family gathering and social interaction, like modern kitchens and life-styles of today, and this was the seed for the desire, by the home owners, when they asked me to help them to ‘Update’ their home.

Alterra Landscape DesignFrom this wide perspective, you can see how the different "rooms" of the backyard work in harmony to support family dynamics. The proximity of the shaded lounge to the active splash zone of the pool allows for effortless supervision and social interaction. Our building strategy integrated a massive sliding glass door system, effectively doubling the home's square footage through seamless outdoor living integration. By balancing the "hard" lines of the architecture with "soft" native greenery and high-performance turf, we’ve delivered a robust landscape architecture solution that caters to both play and rest.
