MODERN COASTAL
Winter 2020 - Summer 2021

The Modern Coastal was a renovation and re-furnishing project for a 1980 bungalow on a coastal cliff in Mid-Coast Maine. The house was a blank architectural slate for us to fill with simple, sophisticated elements that allowed the ocean view to take centerstage and a palette that nods to the unique local geography. Without feeling themed, our thoughtful material and product selections craft a coastal, rugged, and lived-in space while still maintaining an elevated touch. Abigail Shea

Dark walnut woods and slate black accents juxtapose soft, creamy walls and light upholstery. The Modern Coastal project is loaded with natural materials -- jute, rattan, marble, sherpa, raw & refined woods, and linen -- which, when layered on simple architecture, create an approachable and inviting space. The clean-lined custom kitchen cabinetry applies a modern profile, with a small 1" crown return detail and inset slab doors, all coated in a warm mushroom grey. Super White quartzite countertops mimic the rugged coast right outside the windows.
