The Back Bay House is comprised of two main structures, a nocturnal wing and a daytime wing joined by a glass gallery space. The daytime wing presents an informal, livable space that includes the dining area—set in an intimate alcove—a large country kitchen, and a seating area which opens onto a classic covered porch and the water beyond. The nocturnal wing houses three bedrooms and an away-from-it-all view tower. The master, on the water side, enjoys views of the shore, water and wildlife, while the other bedrooms face the garden and neighboring meadow.

The Master Plan for Roche Harbor is a conscientious, carefully-considered plan intended to honor the area’s rich history while creating a modern, sustainable community void of sprawl – key components of a Traditional Neighborhood Development, or TND.
The plan’s primary objective: a town with a center and a defined edge requiring no more than five minutes to traverse by foot. This guiding principle allowed the design to grow from within while encouraging pedestrian and community activity.
Key aspects of the planning process included studies of shoreline codes and requirements with regard to the marina and waterfront buildings, and presentation of proposed changes to the community.

The scope of work for the Kingston Master Plan involved working with community members, property owners and municipal planning officials and drawing inspiration from sustainable small town living paradigms. Elements of the plan include walkable streets, single and attached housing, mixed-use buildings within the town core, and implementation of rain gardens to control and purify storm runoff to protect the near-shore environment. Care was taken to reduce paved areas within the village area—also to protect water quality.
