Built with the clients wants and needs in mind, this weekend retreat provides them a place for pure relaxation and tranquility. With the client being a developer in the surrounding region, they were very attuned to being hands on in the design and construction process. Attention to detail was key, making sure the home was built exactly the way they wanted. This home features radiant hydronic heat, state of the art security and home automation, lutron and crestron lighting/shading controls, true board and batten cedar siding, local granite around entire 1st floor, and a built-in masonry barbecue designed onsite to incorporate the lifestyle of our clients. It is a true honor to state that our clients use this second home every chance they get, being up almost every weekend of the year fully using this retreat to get away from the day to day stresses of life.

Strong modern lines lead visitors toward the front door in a visual invitation to enter, and lush, sprawling foliage spills into the clean contours of concrete and steel, creating a striking juxtaposition between natural and built elements. This photo was taken by Ryann Ford.

Morehouse MacDonald and Associates worked with landscape architect Gregory Lombardi and interior designer James Radin to create this contemporary take on the Arts and Craft style for a discerning Boston client. New Hampshire granite was selected to establish a strong base or plinth for the house. Careful use of stucco, corbeled overhangs, and layered roof lines generate a sturdy yet elegant statement.
