The project consists of renovations and additions to a non-descript, circa 1980’s, home which sits on a uniquely private site overlooking a salt marsh with views to Long Island Sound. The Owners requested that the home take more advantage of the views and have a modern aesthetic yet include vernacular design characteristics of the New England coastal town of Guilford. The spaces created, as well as the palette of materials employed, were deliberately kept simple and quiet in order for the house to serve as a backdrop to the beautiful site.
