Challenge
The project involved replacing an outdated home with a new residence on a wetland-restricted lot, requiring zoning variances and adherence to soil disturbance limits by utilizing the existing footprint. Upgrading from a septic system to a nearby town sewer system also demanded coordination across multiple municipalities.
The owner’s highly specific design requirements—including 12-foot ceilings, large custom windows, 8-foot solid doors, wood-burning stoves, and ductless HVAC—added structural complexity and cost challenges. To stay within budget, the design strategically prioritized key features while ensuring construction feasibility.
Solution
We developed a precision-focused design that maximized buildable space while securing zoning variances and navigating multi-agency approvals for the sewer connection, preventing delays. To balance high-end design with cost efficiency, we optimized the structure and prioritized key features. The home emphasizes soundproofing, thermal comfort, non-toxic materials, rainscreen cladding for energy efficiency, and an optimized MEP layout. French doors and Juliet balconies enhance indoor-outdoor connectivity, seamlessly integrating nature into the living experience.
Value Delivered
By acting as the owner’s strategic advisor and construction advocate, we ensured the project’s success from conception to completion. Our on-site construction quality assurance visits identified and resolved non-compliant work, maintaining the highest construction standards. Through smart design choices and expert project navigation, we delivered a high-performance, aesthetically refined home that met the owner’s exacting standards while staying within regulatory constraints and budgetary limits. The result is a uniquely tailored residence that balances luxury, sustainability, and long-term value.
