Addition/Renovation for a Growing Family, Portsmouth, NH

Picture
This addition and renovation of an 1880 in-town Shingle Style residence was designed to accommodate the needs of a growing family. Our task was to develop spaces that would allow the family to live a contemporary lifestyle while still maintaining the heritage & charm of the Victorian era house. Three stories of living space was added to the garden side of the home, allowing the family to take full advantage of a secluded private space. The lower level is the children's playroom and opens directly onto the fenced in yard. The second level is a new family room, wrapped on three sides with windows, off the renovated kitchen and includes a private deck shielded from public view despite its corner lot location. The third level accommodates the new master bedroom and bath. This airy private oasis, nestled in the tree canopy, has a projecting window seat and light coming in from all sides. The homes detailing complements that of the original house, which was reshingled & reroofed outside and its interior was entirely restored to its period best.

Poolhouse/Playhouse
East Kingston, NH

This structure will act as the hub of summertime activities, a comfortable place to watch football games on autumn afternoons and a private retreat for overnight guests. The building, pool & deck provide separate, interconnected areas for multigenerational family living. Ammenities include a full kitchen, laundry & bath, loft sleeping area, outdoor shower, a fireplace and a fire pit. Specialty design features include rainwater collection via a chain drain & stave barrel as well as a dovecote.

New House in an Historic District
Portsmouth, NH

Located on Pleasant Street in the Portsmouth Historic District, this new house sits proudly alongside the notable Langdon and Wentworth houses, homes built in colonial times by sea captains and wealthy merchants. Carefully sited to preserve existing trees, the house provides a stately public face while affording its owners a serene private back courtyard in an otherwise busy area of town. The hand drawn depictions of the unbuilt house were part of the package submitted for review and approval by the Portsmouth Historic District Commission.
