NH Sea Coast

The New Hampshire seacoast is only 18 miles long. This estate sits on it. Built in the shingle style tradition with dark walnut paneling, coffered ceilings, and interior millwork at a scale that belongs more to Newport than to anything else on this stretch of coast. Shot for Engel and Volkers and later featured in the Wall Street Journal.

The coast here is short and exposed and the architecture doesn't pretend otherwise. The turrets, the steep rooflines, the deep covered porch facing the Atlantic. Every formal decision is a response to where the building sits and what it faces. There is nowhere to hide from the water and this house doesn't try.

Dark walnut paneled great room with coffered ceilings and built-in cabinetry, shingle-style estate North Hampton NH — interi

The millwork runs floor to ceiling in nearly every room. Dark walnut paneling, coffered ceilings, built in cabinetry detailed at a scale that takes real time and craft to execute. Against it the blue velvet upholstery and the warm tones of the dining room read as intentional. The house is ornate and it knows it, but it doesn't labor the point.

The New Hampshire seacoast gets serious weather and this shoot had it. Hard Atlantic light, wind off the water, skies that move fast. You work with what arrives. These are some of the strongest coastal images in the portfolio.
