Check out the September issue of THIS OLD HOUSE® magazine for a behind-the-scenes look at Sweenor Builders’ work at the 2017 Idea House, where traditional architectural features combine with modern building techniques to create a family home with a relaxed coastal sensibility.

The article, “A Day at the Beach House”, celebrates the home’s many New England architectural features — from an eyebrow window, shingled roofline sweeps, pair of gambrel roofs, and generous wraparound porch — while sharing detailed progress photos and insight on the construction materials and techniques that will bring them to life.

For an insider’s guide on this one-of-a-kind property, we encourage you to grab an issue at your local newsstand or visit this online slideshow.
