//Expertise

Coastal & Local Context (Manchester-by-the-Sea)

Kitchen renovations near salt air and water demand resilient materials, sealed interfaces, and proper ventilation. Manchester’s coastal climate requires careful selection of cabinetry, hardware, and finishes to resist corrosion and moisture damage.
Local design projects in Manchester emphasize maximizing natural light and views through open floor plans and large windows. For example, a recent remodel used neutral coastal palettes and open layout to accentuate the harbor views. 
Historic homes in Manchester also demand sensitivity to architectural style—our team is experienced working with existing shingle-style forms and matching trim, balances between new and old.
