House in New England

Designed for a young family, this house offers a contemporary rendition of New England’s traditional white clapboard architecture. Inspired by the clients’ vision of a living in a white cube, the interlocking form emerged from studies of views, light, and spatial efficiency.

A steel-frame structure allows for open, flexible interiors and uninterrupted sightlines, while carefully placed walls of glass and windows frame the surrounding landscape and create a compelling sense of immersion in nature.

Open-plan living and dining area with modern white furnishings, abstract artwork, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light and views of greenery.
Elegant living room featuring curving white sofas, geometric area rug in shades of blue, and bold contemporary artwork on the wall.
Modern lounge with sectional sofa, layered lighting, and built-in cabinetry, opening toward a staircase with floating wood treads and glass railing.
Stairwell with glass railing and tall window framing exterior views, accented by contemporary wall sculpture and minimal design details.
Open kitchen with white countertops and wood cabinetry, accented by red barstools and contemporary lighting, seamlessly connecting to dining and living areas.
Bright seating nook with large windows opening to greenery, framed by built-in white shelving and neutral furnishings accented with soft blue and beige.
Modern living room with vibrant magenta rug and lounge chair, paired with a gray sectional sofa, colorful wall art, and a sleek built-in shelving unit.
