While house hunting, our Clients were charmed by Essex’s historic housing stock. When they found a secluded lot overlooking the marsh, they engaged Red Barn to design a new home with modern comforts within the shell of a Victorian-style farmhouse. >
In collaboration with Brown Dog Properties, we designed two contemporary green builds now under construction. >
This custom home features a formal first floor, as well as primary and guest suites and children’s rooms with en suite baths for a growing family. >
An overarching goal was to achieve the lowest possible energy usage day to day. These homes reached very near Passive House standards for air exchange and followed The Pretty Good House standards. >
With their children launched, our Clients were relocating to Coastal Maine and wanted to simplify their living arrangements. The resulting design was a clean lined and bright space with considerations for the coming years. >
