Tucked along the New Hampshire coast, this home addition was all about balance—between old and new, indoors and out, style and function. Created by Sage Interior Design and captured by Freebird Photography, the project expanded the home’s footprint to create a primary suite that feels effortlessly connected to its surroundings. With sun-drenched spaces, spa-like details, and a modern-meets-classic exterior, the result is a retreat that reflects the laid-back lifestyle of its surf-loving, entertainer homeowners.

From the designer… Surfers and entertainers, our clients were excited to expand the footprint of their home to create the dreamiest primary suite that always invites you to go outside. Sunlit rooms and clean lines and a laid back vibe were pillars of this design.

From their private entrance off their patio into the primary suite, to the spa-worthy bathroom this addition packed a lot of punch in a small footprint. It was really important to our clients to make sure that they were always bringing in natural light. In the ensuite office and walk-in closet there are giant modern barn doors with frosted glass that not only give privacy when needed but also, lets the most gorgeous natural light in. For this project we used large tilt and turn windows that really added to that modern vibe of this addition and were super unique for this project. The bathroom has one of the largest walk-in showers that we’ve done to date with a massive centered rain shower to give our clients serious spa vibes.

On the exterior, the vertical slat siding is a great juxtaposition to the more traditional cedar shakes that are on the original structure. The goal was not to blend the two structures together so that you can’t tell where old and new started and stopped but rather combine the two styles in a way that they played off one another. We carried the slat siding to the front of the home by the garage and front door to tie the two spaces together.
