INTERIOR DESIGN: WHOLE HOUSE DESIGN WINNER: Coastal Legacy TMS Architects in Portsmouth 603-436-4274 * tms-architects.com The timeworn condition of a family summer retreat used for over 70 years could not sustain future generations nor accommodate the growing family. The house would need to be razed, but not before carefully cataloging the most cherished features: ocean views from the wide porch that wrapped the back of the house and from the connected four-season porch, and the big lawn in the backyard for kids to play. The homeowner prioritized beds for more than 25 guests, including children and grandchildren. The home's footprint was stretched to include an accessible first-floor primary bedroom, four family suites upstairs, a girls' bunkroom and a boys' bunkroom, each with a bathroom. Open-concept living areas were necessary to keep the high density of guests comfortable when the house is at full capacity, but also cozy nooks and intimate rooms create private spaces for family to relax in on their own. What the judges said: The beachy color palette and organic textures used throughout this home are inviting, relaxing and timeless. 66 New Hampshire Home PHOTOS COURTESY GREG WESThttp://www.tms-architects.com
