The Brief
The owners wanted a place to slow down. The house had generous windows and a remarkable setting, but the interiors felt unfinished and cold. They asked for rooms that could hold a full house of guests on a Saturday and still feel calm on a quiet Sunday morning.
Design Approach
We organized the plan around the views. Seating, dining, and reading spots were placed to follow the light across the day, and the kitchen became an open gathering point rather than a separate room. Built-in storage keeps the everyday clutter of a weekend house out of sight.
Materials & Finishes
Rift-sawn oak, honed bluestone, clay plaster, wool, and aged bronze give the house a grounded, tactile quality. The palette takes its cues from the surrounding woods and changes gently with the seasons.
Closing Note
Solace is a house that invites you to stay a little longer, and that was always the point.
