RHODE ISLAND MEETS SCANDINAVIA

Inspired by the quiet elegance of Scandinavian design, this custom coastal home is thoughtfully composed of hand-selected natural materials that harmonize beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Clean lines, warm textures, and an emphasis on simplicity create a residence that feels both refined and deeply connected to its setting.

Expansive, house-width sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a generous screened living area designed for relaxed coastal entertaining and year-round enjoyment. Inside, distinctive custom cabinetry defines the living spaces, pairing sleek design with subtle touches of color and inventive storage solutions. Among its thoughtful details, a custom bookcase conceals a hidden doorway—an unexpected element that reflects the home’s playful sophistication and meticulous attention to detail.

Just beyond the main residence, a secondary stone outbuilding serves as a dedicated wood workshop, an artisan’s retreat that echoes the home’s commitment to craftsmanship.
