Flavin ArchitectsThis remodel of a mid century gem is located in the town of Lincoln, MA a hot bed of modernist homes inspired by Gropius’ own house built nearby in the 1940’s. By the time the house was built, modernism had evolved from the Gropius era, to incorporate the rural vibe of Lincoln with spectacular exposed wooden beams and deep overhangs.
The design rejects the traditional New England house with its enclosing wall and inward posture. The low pitched roofs, open floor plan, and large windows openings connect the house to nature to make the most of its rural setting.

Bobbi BulmerThis room may have been designed for the man of the house, but it's no ordinary man-cave. With beautiful architectural detailing and bright windows, this is somewhere the entire family will want to hang out. The piece de resistance is definitely the High Definition Golf simulator. With incredible accuracy and photo-realistic imagery, its like the room opens up onto Pebble Beach.

Menendez Architects PCThe exposed steel lintels express the structural support of the stone veneer. Many of the man-made materials (steel, aluminum, roofing) are the same color and serve to contrast against the natural materials of wood and stone.

Edgewater Design GroupWe were hired to add space to their cottage while still maintaining the current architectural style. We enlarged the home's living area, created a larger mudroom off the garage entry, enlarged the screen porch and created a covered porch off the dining room and the existing deck was also enlarged. On the second level, we added an additional bunk room, bathroom, and new access to the bonus room above the garage. The exterior was also embellished with timber beams and brackets as well as a stunning new balcony off the master bedroom. Trim details and new staining completed the look.
