Cohen House. Our ongoing renovation of F. Frederick Bruck’s 1962 Bauhaus-inspired home features a solarium expansion adjacent to the dining area. The “Gropius Grey” color of the solarium walls, carried in from the exterior, is juxtaposed with the Arcilla Red of the credenza countertop and color-washed dining room walls. To celebrate and stay true to the home’s original character, we developed Bruck’s existing vertical language, detailing, and color use while updating the house to best fit the clients’ needs. Thank you to our collaborators on this project. @brookesandhillcustom @themarvinbrand @porcelanosa

At our West Gloucester House, the home’s linear layout is oriented parallel to the contours of the hillside, minimizing site disturbance. The stacked massing and galvanized steel detailing of the home recall the industrial vernacular of the Gloucester waterfront, and the dark color helps the house settle into its wooded site.

At the Steinert House, we looked at many iterations of rethinking the sunroom. Our work clarified the flow between spaces, addressed older renovations that obscured Bruck’s design intent, and restored key details.

A few scenes from our renovation project that steps down with the slope of the site. Dark gray brick walls establish the composition, while extensive glass connects the interior to nature. Expansive, high-ceilinged living spaces move one to the next on the main floor, with views into each other and onto the yard and gardens. Thank you to our collaborators on this project. @brookesandhillcustom @aabuilding @mcldllc Columbia Design Group @siegelstructural @te2engineering @sladenfeinstein @systemseven7 Rosati Acoustics + Multimedia @kellerminimalwindows @smartglassincfl (credit: shot 1 and shot 6) @groupceyssens

Bridging the Past. Our modern addition, featured in the most recent issue of @resdesignmag , added a chef's kitchen and primary suite to an existing 1880s farmhouse.

"True to plan, the character of the farmhouse and addition couldn’t be more different. The addition is wrapped in vertical, dark-stained mahogany slats—a riff on the farmhouse’s horizontal board and batten siding." - @resdesignmag Read more from our recent Residential Design Magazine feature at the link in our bio.

Thank you to @resdesignmag and Cheryl Weber for this beautiful feature on Bridging the Past. “[Our clients] were very much design aficionados,” Colin Flavin adds. “They didn’t give us much direction architecturally, just to do something very creative.” Read more about our modern addition project in the article written by RD editor, Cheryl Weber in our bio.

Take a look at Colin's design process of our project in Norwell, MA, and the transition from an early sketch to a more final design. Our recent punchlist video reveals the final project.
