Cottagewood Gables | New Build
Built to last centuries, this remarkable home in Deephaven has
a classic form and timeless details. Resilient materials such
as natural hand-troweled stucco, structural solid-wood eave
brackets, copper gutters and flashing details, cobblestone
chimneys, gas lanterns, and solid wood windows all create an
authentic palette that grounds the home and creates a strong
sense of place.
Two gabled forms with a courtyard in between create a classic
base for the design. The living and dining rooms have a bank of windows with views east to the courtyard and west
through the screen porch to the pool. The house’s interior combines rustic and refined details. Reclaimed timbers
and stained wood ceilings balance the profiled painted trim and traditional wood windows, aged brass faucets
are paired with stone sinks, and cobblestone floors share the room with wallpaper. Bespoke stone, plaster, and
cabinetry finishes highlight the entire main level, designed both for everyday living and for entertaining. Every space
and relationship in this home was well considered, from the initial design through refinement, material selection,
and sourcing, until final realization by a craftsperson. The care the builders, design team, and homeowners have
taken in creating this one-of-a-kind residence is
evident in its immediate charm and lasting impression.
