NECN’s New England Dream Home featured a wonderful Seabrook, NH home designed by TMS Architects. The home was inspired by the architecture of the 1920s when the country saw a boom in beach living. The house has a contemporary open floor plan with some of the beautiful architectural details of the period.  A wooden ceiling, subway tiles, beautiful molding and bead board are all a nod to the 1920s.

TMS’s John Merkle faced several challenges in designing the home due to zoning and lot constraints.  The lot was long and narrow, height was limited and the first floor was right on dune level.  The solution was a home where the living space is on the second floor and the private quarters are on the first floor.  This way everyone can enjoy the spectacular view.

Take a look for yourself.
