nshoremag.com/nshorehome/ Plantings around the house, by landscape architect Laura (Lolly) Gibson of Laura Gibson Landscape Design in Manchester-by-the-Sea, are simple and beautiful, allow- ing the house to stand on its own natural canvas. Inside the house, the look is sleek and open, with con- temporary touches, including light fixtures that optimize the beautiful views. The primary spaces on the first floor are seamless, with almost 50 feet of glass fronting the porch, pool, and cabana. Special touches include pieces handmade by Carpenter & MacNeille's own woodshop: walnut kitchen cabinetry, a book-matched walnut dress- ing room and closet in the master bath, and all millwork. The interior design, by Christine Lane Interiors in Boston, has the easy-on-the-eyes look of a traditional summer house simply refreshed for a young family. "The furnishings and finishes were built on a neutral palette in different shades and depth, using accent colors for flat weave area rugs and printed accent pillows," Lane says. With the house's Shingle-style charm and its open in- terior, it's easy to envision the couple, with family, enjoy- ing beachside summers. "Restoring and reimagining an old house for new life, while still celebrating its history, is our favorite type of challenge," says MacNeille. carpentermacneille.com; christinelaneinteriors.com; lauragibsonlandscapedesign.com Landscape Architecture Interior Design Design + Build Boston | Washington DC zenassociates.com | 800.834.6654 Photographer: Maxwell MacKenzie Builder: The Allen Group
