The experience of designing a home should feel as rewarding as living in it. At SHM, our approach is grounded in three principles that guide every client relationship.
Rooted in Craft
We believe exceptional projects begin with thoughtful design. Drawing from decades of experience in architecture, interiors, and landscape architecture, we obsess over the details that elevate a home from beautiful to enduring.
Relaxed in Our Approach
Designing a custom project can be complex, but working with your design team shouldn’t be. We bring a warm, approachable style to every interaction, creating an experience that is collaborative, enjoyable, and distinctly personal.
Ready to Hold Your Hand
From the first sketch to move-in day, we’re here to guide you through every decision. Our team provides clarity, communication, and confidence throughout the process, ensuring you always know what’s next.

Architecture is the foundation of every project at SHM. Our team works closely with clients from early planning through construction to design spaces that support how they live and use their homes. With a focus on clear planning, proportion, and coordination across disciplines, the architecture serves as the framework that guides every decision.
Interior design is developed alongside the architecture to ensure continuity throughout the home. Our team works with clients to plan layouts, select materials, and design interior elements that support the overall architectural vision, creating spaces that feel beautiful, livable, and cohesive.
Landscape architecture is an essential part of the overall experience of a home. Our approach integrates the built environment with the natural setting, shaping outdoor spaces that extend the architecture into the surrounding landscape. These spaces are designed to support daily life outdoors—creating places to gather, circulate, and connect with the environment.
Offering a retreat from city life, this lake house is the ideal setting for family gatherings. Situated on a small Connecticut lake, the design embraces its setting with clapboard siding, stone, and barnwood—materials that root it in the local vernacular and history.
Pyramid Avenue is a sculptural retreat where clean lines and warm materials converge amid a rugged, natural landscape. The architecture centers around layered volumes that step down toward the site, creating dynamic rooflines and a grounded connection to the terrain.
Wildwood Road is a serene, modern retreat tucked into mature oak trees, where the architecture feels both grounded and expansive. Sliding glass walls and deep overhangs bring the landscape in, creating a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces.
