Portal to the Coast ⚓️ A timeless estate for quintessential coastal living.

Elevated on a dune overlooking the sea, a refined compound embraces the rhythms of coastal living. The home engages its dreamy surroundings at every turn, framing ever-changing views of the surrounding landscape. Designed by Catalano Architects and built by Koulopoulos Vona & Co , the estate takes full advantage of its remarkable setting while balancing tradition, resilience, and modern living.

Returning Home🏡 A Concord retreat reflects a return to roots.

It began, as many great endeavors do, with a simple nudge from family. The homeowner’s sister spotted the listing first: a tear-down on twelve acres in Concord, Massachusetts, where the sisters had been raised. With three young children and a desire for more land, the couple began imagining a different pace of life. The wife, a trained architect, was especially drawn to the prospect of building from scratch. Moving back to Massachusetts offered proximity to extended family and the rare opportunity to shape a home with intention.

A Promise to the Past 🕰️ A historic oceanfront property is redefined, infusing new life into a space etched by the passage of time and coastal living.

In coastal Rhode Island, where salt air drifts through open windows and watercolor skies melt into the horizon, this historic waterfront home was poised for its next chapter. After roughly two decades in the family’s care, it was time to gently reimagine the home for its next season by the sea.

Cheers to 30 years, from our team to you 🥂

This year, we decided to take our group photo at Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA. This historic landmark has hosted meetings and gatherings for over three centuries, and in our eyes, it was the perfect place to celebrate three decades of Boston Design Guide.

We want to take this moment to thank our readers & clients for inspiring years of creativity, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you.

As we recognize our team and readership, we are also thrilled to share some exciting news!

The 30th anniversary edition of BDG is coming tomorrow!

Timeless by the Tides: A Coastal Home Designed Around the Water 🐚

Water is the first impression—and, in many ways, the organizing principle—of this custom North Shore home. Set along a sheltered harbor, the custom residence was designed around a simple premise: make the most of the setting while creating a home that feels deeply liveable. The house pairs expansive harbor views with intimate garden moments, substantial stonework with light-filled interiors, and an impressive sense of scale with spaces that feel comfortably lived in.
