project modern classic

FULL HOME RENOVATION + ADDITION
NEWBURYPORT, MA

Our modern classic project embodies a modern classic sensibility with subtle coastal influences, balancing deep, moody tones with light-filled spaces and natural textures. The kitchen anchors the home with rich indigo cabinetry, brushed brass hardware, and warm oak accents, while handcrafted tile and crisp quartz surfaces add a refined brightness. Thoughtful detailing carries into the living room, where built-ins and a stone fireplace create a tailored yet inviting focal point.

Throughout the home, the material palette remains cohesive—muted greens, natural wood, and hand-finished surfaces lend warmth and durability, while layered lighting enhances both function and atmosphere. The mudroom, powder room, and baths continue this thread, each space defined by a quiet sophistication and an attention to craftsmanship.

The result is a home that feels rooted in tradition yet effortlessly fresh—timeless architecture reimagined with modern ease, and a coastal undertone that connects the interiors to their New England setting.
