This new home takes its cues from New England vernacular homes. The brief was for tall ceilings, varied rooms, and views across the meadow to Mt. Cardigan. The program is complex with a main home, guest rooms, an elevator, a crafting attic, a detached barn, and an attached ADU. The result will be a cozy oasis in a beautiful landscape. The home will be completed in Winter 2026

Located in Shaker Village the brief for this home was to create a simple linear form with ample storage, work space and ground floor living that is generous in size and program. A central hallway defines the spine of the building with rooms each side. A large great room with a wrap around deck at the south east end looks out to Mascoma Lake. The project was completed March of 2026. The client is renowned local builder.

Completed in July 2024 this home was designed with inspiration from many local 1880’S and 1890’S farm houses. Careful attention was paid to structure so that only standard 2x lumber was used in framing. This approach yielded a uniquely scaled modern day home that is firmly rooted in traditional vernacular.

Rail Trail Apartments revitalized a downtown Enfield, NH building lot that had a old railroad garage on it. This project adds much needed housing in a prime walkable location that is on a heavily trafficked recreational walkway that connects to many nearby towns. Amenities in the one bedroom one bath units include storage, energy efficient systems, full size kitchens and in-unit laundry.

The project completed in February of 2024.

Vacant in town lots are rare. Despite an existing 1960’s ranch being on site the opportunity was perfect for a new home to be built on an existing foundation. The new home is completely reorganized around a soaring great room and a new attached 2 car garage. Construction started in Fall of 2022 and will finish Summer 2023.

Aging in place was the directive for this rustic country retreat. Set on a wooded lot right beside a country road this home pushes all function to a single easily accessible one story. With an attached ADU for live in care or for a rental, there isn’t much more you’d need. There is also plenty of room for expansion in the walkout basement if the wish arises. Construction began Fall 2022 with completion anticipated Summer 2023.

Set on a gently sloping wooded lot this modern shed roofed home sits starkly on its site. The industrial materials, cement board, a membrane roof and polycarbonate are in deep contrast with the wooded lot. In spring 2023 plantings all around the home will nestle the home in and deepen the contrast.

This new home is set on over 200 acres with commanding views south into a huge landscape. The design, in plan, is a central corridor with almost all primary and secondary spaces oriented toward the view. The overall finish and detailing is similar to friends of the clients Nantucket home. Think seaside weather shingles but set on a New Hampshire mountain. The home was finished in July of 2023.

This small cottage has sat on the south shore of Mascoma Lake since the 1940’s. A shed addition in the 1970’s didn’t help the building but now after downsizing some the cottage has new life. The modern form ties well to the old with wood siding and small creative details throughout. The home finishes in August 2020

This new 1,800sf ground up home has everything one could wish for when downsizing to the lake—a screen porch, garage, kitchen with a pantry and island, ground level master suite, guest room, a wood stove, den downstairs and lots of storage. Construction begins Fall 2020.

This small 2-story lake home was drastically transformed into a classic shingle clad 3-story home. The addition and renovations added a master suite and office upstairs. On the main floor a new stair, kitchen, pantry, entry, screen porch and living room with a fireplace were added. The owners are soon to make this their year round residence and embrace lake living in New Hampshire. The project will finish July 2020.

Mascoma Cottages Duplex is phase 1 of a larger plan for a lakeside retreat space comprising camp sites, cabins and lakeside rentals. Each unit is setup for seasonal rentals and features 2 baths, 3 bedrooms, a kitchen/living/dining room, deck, outdoor shower and a mudroom. Construction begins Fall 2020.

This small home packs a tremendous amount of space and amenity. The renovations added a new bathroom, laundry, pantry and screened porch to the ground floor. Upstairs gained a new bedroom, bathroom and built-ins. Two entries allow for renting out the first floor bedroom suite. This project finishes July 2020.

This home was completed in August of 2018. It began with combining two lots, demo of a 3 season camp and numerous sketches over a 3 year design period. It is now the full-time residence of the owners who are successful local small business owners.

This large lake home has my stand out features that enhance function for a large family to enjoy. Multiple great rooms, game rooms, large bedrooms for childcare, bunk spaces, two kitchens, multiple deck spaces and patios and much more. After generations of seasonal lake living the client wished to build a year round focal point for all to enjoy and come and go. A great ambition, a huge undertaking and its shaping up wonderfully. Completion is slated for August 2019

This modest mountain top home utilizes a portion of the previous homes footprint. It captures long range views into VT while keeping a modest scale and composition.

Simple details and an organic color palette make the home warm and inviting.

Enfield East sits on a 5 acre plot of slopping land along busy route 4. The plan is to provide market rate town homes carefully sited to take advantage of views and daylight. The project is currently looking for interested investment partners.

This simple 60’s home was in need of a facelift, energy refit and a floorpan change. Once construction began rot was found throughout and the owners dove into a full gut and remodel.

Increased sf, a new entry mudroom, great room and back deck add immensely to this renovated home.

Design work began in 2017 for this interior fit out for a coffee shop and a beer tasting counter. The project required a change of use from business to assembly. To accomplish that the building had to get numerous upgrades chiefly a sprinkler system throughout.

For the coffee shop itself rework of entry and exit points, a new kitchen facility, offices, restrooms, restaurant seating and points of sale were incorporated. The result has been fantastic and well received by the community.

My thesis work culminating in the award of my masters degree in architecture from Rhode Island School of Design was an exciting and transformative experience. My exploration focused upon New England vernacular work with a particular interest in elements of heaviness, framing and enclosure.

The selected drawings below explore a log mill and craft community I designed for the Knox River in Enfield, NH.

This medium size rural Vermont home has many exciting and eccentric design features. From glass corner windows, to curved walls, to log posts and even custom entry glazing.

Ever details as labored over and the results show. It’s extremely energy efficient with high R value walls, a masonry stove and solar hot water.
