The eventual homeowners saw it in its framing stage and loved the house and the site. Working with designer Kevin Bergin of Kevin Bergin, Architecture and Interior Design, they brought their preference for modernist forms and lush materials and wove them seamlessly into the ‘beach house’ idiom. It was an explicit objective to keep the interior spaces from feeling disconnected from the design sense of the shingle style exterior. Using simple formal geometries, timeless architectural materials, and hand crafted detailing, they’ve succeeded in giving this otherwise modern interior a warm sense of lived-in elegance that elicits both the calm of a Zen retreat and the intrigue of a boutique hotel.

When the homeowners purchased it, there was 3,500 square feet of living space. Adding a master suite, two guest bedrooms and two guest baths, and enlarging the kitchen, the house grew to 6,500 square feet. Additionally, the basement was finished and a media room added there.

Floor to ceiling windows where there once were carriage doors bring the outside in. And the exterior spaces are plentiful with second story decks and covered terraces.
