Summer/ Year Round

Mid Century Property Renovation

This Mid Century modern cottage near the beach was initially designed to be used as a summer property, and our design optimized  the home for versatility, ensuring it can enjoyed during the summer and year round.

We layered private spaces within public spaces to execute the full program needed to provide all that the family needed.  The open plan houses the living, dining and kitchen, making the home feel larger than it is,  while the small moments are nested under the stairs, on top of the stairs and in moments of passage that normally would not be used.

Rooms were designed and oriented toward the outdoor wrap around decks, each having a different sun condition that gives varied experiences throughout the day and year.

This home’s historical heritage layered with its multifunctional spaces, fosters both solitude and togetherness, ultimately enhancing the family dynamics.  Our design philosophy values a place’s history while prioritizing the freedom to live as one desires, regardless of time or season.
