The objective of this award-winning gut renovation was to create a spatially dynamic, light-filled, and energy-efficient home with a strong connection to Long Island Sound. The design strategy is straightforward: a gabled roof covers a central “spine” corridor that terminates with cathedral ceilinged spaces at both ends. The relocated approach and entry deposit visitors into the front hall with its curvilinear, cantilevered stair. A two-story, windowed family gathering space lies ahead – a straight shot to the water beyond. The design challenge was to utilize the existing house footprint and structure, while raising the top of foundation walls to exceed new flood regulations, reconfiguring the spatial organization, and using innovative materials to produce a tight thermal envelope and contemporary yet contextually appropriate facades.

Lastly, the primary bathroom received a natural and clean refresh. The light grey subway tiles add the perfect amount of subtle color to this serene bathroom renovation. White honeycomb tiles add a spa-like feeling throughout the entire bathroom. No primary bathroom is complete without the perfect tub for a relaxing night at home. Again, the brass detail of the ink and bathtub hardware gives the most natural and straightforward bathroom warmth and richness. Photo by Mark Quentin / StudioQphoto.com

Straightforward and linear, the patio also presents as casual and informal. Dimensioned bluestone pavers, installed in a tight formal grid, softens when separated by artificial turf. Appointed with casual furniture, the mosaic becomes a one-of-a-kind living space with a low maintenance requirement.
