The Brief

The family wanted a beach house that felt relaxed and hardworking, with nothing too precious for sandy feet. They also wanted it to feel connected to the ocean from every room.

Design Approach

We kept the plan simple and opened views to the water wherever possible. Generous window seats, an outdoor shower, and a mudroom made the house practical, while relaxed proportions kept it easy and unfussy.

Materials & Finishes

Weathered oak, limestone, lime plaster, and washed linen form a restrained palette inspired by the shore. Each material was chosen to wear well in salt air.

Closing Note

Stillwater feels like summer all year round, calm, open, and made for long days by the water.
