Set along the edge of the Great Marsh, Salt + Cedar is a transformative renovation that reimagines an existing home for contemporary family life. A comprehensive renovation and addition reorganize the home's footprint, creating space for a growing family while strengthening its connection to the surrounding landscape. The architecture balances the character of the original home with thoughtful new interventions that bring natural light, openness, and a renewed sense of place.

A dedicated children's wing and expanded kitchen support the rhythms of everyday living, while a new double-height addition takes full advantage of southern exposure and expansive marsh views. Generous connections to the deck and pool extend the living spaces outdoors, creating a natural relationship between the home and its coastal setting. Salvaged beams from another family property bring warmth and character to the reimagined interiors.

Red Barn provided both architectural design and Construction Management, guiding the project from demolition through completion. The result is a home that feels both familiar and entirely renewed, thoughtfully adapted to the way its family lives today and connected to the landscape that makes this place so special.
