Project Overview:
The owners came to the project with a commitment to restore this neglected site. The unfolding of the terrain and the transition from forest to meadow, and finally to Case Inlet itself resonated with our team and our clients and became the basis for a design that elevated this place with a home that responds to landforms, trees and understory, sunlit openings, and framed views. . Today the forest and meadow are reintegrated, and together they embrace Longbranch, a family home with the serenity, warmth and timelessness that comes from the layering of authentic materials with attention to craft and detail.
