This stunning remodel perfectly captures the charm of the existing house while providing the owner with a much needed update to their kitchen. Removing a supporting wall and replacing it with a steel plate that was chemically aged on site opened up the kitchen to a cozy hearth room and created a space for easy entertaining for family and friends. Construction by Weber Home and Land Initial cabinets design by Wieland Studio and detailed and constructed by Alpine Wood Products Photography by Architectural Imageworks

The unique site, 11 acres on a peninsula with breathtaking views of the ocean, inspired Meyer & Meyer to break the mold of waterside shingle-style homes. The estate is comprised of a main house, guest house, and existing bunker. The design of the main house involves projecting wings that appear to grow out of the hillside and spread outward toward three sides of ocean views. Architecture and landscape merge as exterior stairways and bridges provide connections to a network of paths leading to the beaches at each point. An enduring palette of local stone, salt-washed wood, and purple-green slate reflects the muted and changeable seaside hues. This beach-side retreat offers ever-changing views from windows, terraces, decks, and pathways. Tucked into the design are unexpected touches such as a hideaway wine room and a nautically-inspired crow’s nest.
