Bachelor Pad Becomes a Family Home  Chauncey Creek, Kittery Point, ME

Renovations are nearly complete on this house in Kittery Point for a young family with three growing boys. The original house, which dates from 1880, has been lifted and given a new foundation, allowing for a walk out lower level and easy access to the dock . An addition on the west side houses the Master Bathroom, Kitchen and Mudroom, while the stepped addition on the east side creates much needed storage. On the water side, a patio and two story deck were created to take advantage of the quintessential Maine site. On the road side, a new entry portico and stone wall make for a gracious, but properly proportioned, entrance. The size of each added element was carefully calculated to conform with Kittery's shoreland development regulations. New mechanical & electrical systems, combined with up to date insulation, make what was once a summer retreat a year round home. The shingled siding, white trim & classic detailing take their cues from the existing house, while the nautical cable railings relate to the area's maritime history and allow for nearly unobstructed views of Chauncey Creek.

Mid-Century Makeover on Pleasant Point, Portsmouth, NH

The new screen wall is the latest in a series of deft insertions into the fabric of the existing house. These moves are  intended to organize space both within and between rooms while acting to update the house in a manner consistent with the nature of it's mid-century modern ranch house past. The scheme takes advantage of opportunities for prospect as well as refuge by focusing attention outward toward the waterfront site and inward on a two sided fireplace. An consistent language of cherry veneer and blackened steel ties together the disparate elements of the homes interior.

Drawing by Hand

At studioB-E, our commitment to crafting buildings uniquely created to meet the needs of our clients begins from the moment pen meets paper. That pen is guided not by the limited information available digitally, but by the skillful hand of an experienced designer. The artful rendering of ideas allows for limitless variation. We hope that beginning in this manner and continuing to communicate this way in the field, often on the side of a 2x4, translates into a truly hand crafted building.
