LADD HOME
An Award-winning Home in a
Spectacular Setting
The need to work
around many stone outcroppings – combined
with a plan that included an ample cellar – created
challenges in terms of siting the house. The chosen site
provides maximum
privacy and water views on three sides, while accommodating
those needs.

Project Highlights:
· Built
a new house that capitalizes on marsh and ocean views while
fitting perfectly into the landscape
· Constructed a modern space that incorporates antique elements such
as recycled wood flooring, stair treads, and ceilings, and offers
a lovely setting for family heirloom furniture
·
Worked as a team – architect, builder, and homeowner – to
create a handsome, practical, and cost-effective home

The concrete and bluestone
living room fireplace complements recycled fir beams and
heart pine boards in the cathedral ceiling. |
Antique heart pine stair
treads are combined with a railing of painted steel, also
used for columns elsewhere in the house.
