By The Sea

This coastal New Jersey home reflects a long-standing collaboration built on thoughtful planning and teamwork. Brought in early to consult on each addition, Gretchen worked closely with the client to transform the kitchen into a highly functional space for cooking and entertaining—nearly doubling its size and extending the experience outdoors. The reimagined kitchen and deck were designed around real-life use, with carefully researched materials and custom seating that support gatherings both inside and out.
