Brothers

Some years back, when the office was young, we renovated a run down cottage on the ocean for a couple of brothers who'd purchased the place because of its location on a well known stretch of windsurfing water. It was a great project: we turned the house into a bright, modern, casual spot for two bachelors and their friends. As the years passed, the brothers each married and had children and, ultimately, the house they shared became a little crowded. They came back to us, looking to add a house to the house so that they could continue to vacation together in the same spot. The story was a good one; we weren't surprised when the editors at Boston Home & Garden magazine found it intriguing enough to want to write about the brothers and their two houses.
