Completed in July 2024 this home was designed with inspiration from many local 1880’S and 1890’S farm houses. Careful attention was paid too 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.

An existing post-modern residence was a total hodge-podge and had numerous zoning violations. It was time for a revamp. The new streamlined and regularized residence retains much of the original homes exciting layout and site relationship. This new residence is slated to begin construction Summer 2023.

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.

Located on a hillside up a long winding drive this completely off grid home packs everything into one. With a wood fired boiler, solar power, high insulation values, triple glazed windows, a prefabricated steel frame, a sunny south facing courtyard, an oversized heated barn, expansive gardens and a sunny patio why would you ever want to leave home? This house is prepared for anything.

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 is slatted to finish Spring 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 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 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.

This hilltop residence designed in 2017 mimics a renovated or converted barn. Although tall it engages the landscape with the form by stepping down the hill. It’s meant to be simple, rustic but engaging. It remains unbuilt but could certainly be suited to a future client and site.

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.
