A family retreat on Martha’s Vineyard with an existing timber frame home and a small orchard. The existing home’s living area is limited and this new building provides a guest apartment for in-laws and others, an entertaining kitchen, home theater, and work-from-home spaces. Complete with laundry and storage, this building facilitates multigenerational living, while obviating the need for more expansive and complex renovations to the existing home.

In collaboration with Wonwoo Park and David Ottinger, two ca. 1740 buildings in Concord, MA are to be rebuilt, one within the other! The historic home will be rebuilt within the barn, and used in part as a “teaching house,” a visual record of the architectural styles and construction methodologies of the last 300 years in New England.

This expansion and renovation for a family whose children are becoming adults takes a self-built timber frame home and updates is for the family’s evolving needs: the hosting of family reunions, the early stages of retirement, and community gatherings.

This 1930s townhome in Burlington, VT is owner-occupied in the summer months, and rented to students and young professionals the rest of the year. Renovations seek to improve quality of life for tenants and owners alike, while taking a straightforward and practical approach to an investment property.

This new home is built for a sea captain, educator, and mandolin player. Within a strict budget and a 640 sf footprint, this small home blends the efficiency, craftsmanship, and coziness of shipbuilding with the airiness of double-height and lofted spaces.
