Seaside Renovation, Seabrook, NH

Photos and design by TMS Architects, This family desired larger, more open spaces with a kitchen prominent as the "heart" of the home. They requested casual seating at a bar located adjacent to the kitchen area and a large kitchen island for seating. Because of its proximity to the ocean, a nautical motif runs throughout the home; the family room's teak ceiling is reminiscent of the hull of a ship, a gold leaf weathervane in the shape of a ship graces the top of the stone turret and a marble compass rose in inlayed in the floor of the art studio. Blues of the sea and sky are used in the furnishings and paint colors.
