We’ve designed countless kitchens—some modern, some traditional—all beautiful in their own way. After years of experience, we’ve rounded up the five features that best suit a classic New England kitchen. These details work well in at coastal properties, a farmhouse, or any home with historic or traditional architecture. These ideas will keep it both livable and aligned with the character of the Northeast.

She’s a Massachusetts native, he trails from London. Each bring their own version of ‘classic’ and ‘modern’ to the design. Read on to learn about the team, see our progress, and explore renderings of the backyard and primary bathroom.

Investing in custom cabinets pays off in any renovation or new build. While semi-custom and off-the-shelf options might seem budget-friendly, they often come with design limits and gaps that look “budget.” We love working with local artisans who bring flexibility, faster fixes, and quality. For this project, we teamed up with a millworker in New Hampshire, enjoy their beautiful, unique craftsmanship.

Welcome to Fall/Winter—also known as the season of the sticks for New England homes (cue Noah Kahan).  The magical time of year when boots come in caked with mud, sticks find their way into every crevice, and your once-organized space looks like the aftermath of a nature hike. Let’s talk about how this humble room can be your first defense against the chaos and maybe even look good doing it.

Three. Whole. Years. That’s how long we’ve been planning, designing, and building our R Street new construction beach house. Our clients moved in this past May (finally!), and we’re putting the final touches on it. We just installed final art and small furniture, and finished photography is scheduled for Spring 2025. All exterior architecture designed by Owen Thomas, and all interior architectural design (and decorating) by us.
