Bright and Airy Waterfront Home
Built for a retired couple, this house was designed for single-floor living, with the entire first floor ADA accessible. The upstairs rooms accommodate visiting children and grandchildren, with plenty of bright open spaces for the family to spread out and have fun. Patios, covered porches, and expansive windows wrap around the house, allowing everyone to sit out and enjoy the sea breezes on sunny days, or take in the waterfront view from the comfort of the sun room or living room when the weather isn’t as warm. Trillium Architects took cues from the family’s Scandinavian heritage and incorporated solid wood, natural light, clean lines, and bright, soothing colors throughout the house to make it truly feel like home.

Darien Leed Renovation
Designed for a couple with a young family who wanted to make the most of this small house, we created plenty of open floor space and lots of natural light while also making the house energy efficient. We accomplished that by placing floor-to-ceiling windows where possible and even exploring smaller stair spaces with triangular units. Working within the existing envelope, including existing siding that had to remain, we insulated the house from the inside with open-cell foam in wall cavities and a combination of closed-cell foam and mineral wool along basement walls.The final result is a well-performing, energy-efficient house that feels a lot bigger, brighter, and happier without breaking the bank.

Stamford on the water
Sophisticated Empty Nesters enlisted us to transform their 1950s French country style house into a home that better matched their modern design sensibilities. White shiplap vaulted ceilings draw the eyes towards gorgeous views of the harbor available from nearly every room. The music room, with its steep pyramid-shaped roof and arched dormers, is one of the family's favorite additions to the house. What makes it so special is the magical way that the room's curves and angles accentuate sunlight pouring in through the arched windows. The uniquely shaped space also has wonderful acoustics, ideal for enjoying melodies played on the grand piano. More
