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. >
Now under construction, this custom barn will include garage storage on the lower level, as well as guest quarters, studio space and a home gym on the upper level, all overlooking the Great Marsh. >
This custom new build is situated to take advantage of a unique hillside site with significant granite ledge deposits. Substantial sitework was necessary to prepare for a foundation, as well as for a geothermal system. >

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. >
Our clients wanted to update a family lakeside retreat with a modern sensibility. The resulting design is a warm, contemporary space intimate enough for the couple to enjoy alone, but flexible to accommodate additional guests. >
