Coastal Family Getaway

The Oceanside Family Retreat is a stunning coastal home designed with the perfect blend of elegance and functionality, tailored specifically for family getaways. This project, led by the talented architect Andrew Reck of Oak Hill Architects, showcases a design that harmoniously integrates spacious interiors with inviting outdoor living spaces, ensuring a seamless connection with the breathtaking coastal environment. Completed in 2023, this retreat features a striking exterior clad in white cedar shingles, treated with a weathering stain to enhance its natural beauty and durability against the elements. A standout feature of the retreat is the mahogany deck that sits above the first-floor dinette, providing an exquisite area for family gatherings and relaxation. This deck, thoughtfully laid over a robust rubber roof, offers both aesthetic appeal and functional resilience. The surrounding composite railing system adds a modern touch while ensuring safety without obstructing the panoramic views of the ocean. At night, the deck comes alive with the warm glow of onion-style lamps, expertly crafted and provided by Connecticut Lighting Centers, transforming the space into an enchanting retreat under the stars. The interior of the Oceanside Family Retreat complements its exterior with well-appointed cottage-style windows from the Marvin Ultimate Series, allowing natural light to flood the living spaces while framing picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. The choice of Azek Cellular PVC for all trim details not only enhances the home's coastal charm but also ensures longevity and minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for a family retreat. The craftsmanship evident in every facet of this home speaks to the commitment to quality and attention to detail. From the custom-built living spaces that encourage family bonding to the carefully selected materials that withstand the test of time, the Oceanside Family Retreat stands as a testament to thoughtful design and luxurious coastal living. This project has successfully created a serene atmosphere where families can create lasting memories while enjoying the beauty of their surroundings.
