Some of a home’s best details are the ones you keep.

At Coastal Cues, an 1896 Shingle Style home on the Manchester-by-the-Sea waterfront, familiar creaks and original details remain part of everyday life. Our renovation expands the kitchen and opens it to the great room, making more room for family to gather. New built-in bookcases carry the home’s craftsmanship forward, and a reworked side porch offers a quiet spot for morning coffee by the water.

Beautiful Places, with stories still unfolding.

We've been named Northshore Home’s 2026 Best of the North Shore Editors’ Choice for Coastal Architecture.

Along the New England coast, every site asks something different of a home. Views, changing light, salt air, topography, and the rhythms of daily life all shape the design. Our work begins by listening, to the client and to the place, then brings together enduring materials, thoughtful details, and modern performance.

Thank you to the editors of Northshore Home, and to the clients, builders, craftspeople, and design partners who make this work possible.

The guest suite sits above the garage and feels like its own house: a calm, neutral palette, water views, its own entry, its own living room, a deck, and stairs down to the water's edge.

The brise soleil outside the primary bedroom and guest suite filters the southern light and changes the way the façade looks hour by hour, depending on where the sun sits.

Shou Sugi Ban, walnut millwork, smart glass, and a copper penny floor: the bourbon room is one of the spaces in this ocean front home built purely for staying in for a while.

A lantern-like clerestory brings light into the center of the great room and creates a visual connection to the second floor.

As the stair rises beside it, the opening draws the eye upward and leads to a new view from the landing: higher, broader, and looking back out toward the harbor.

The stone became one of the home’s most distinctive features.

Its six-inch depth allowed for stronger texture, deeper mortar joints, and more shadow across the surface. The material was selected and detailed to relate to the existing stone walls around the property, helping the new house feel connected to its setting.
