With any new home project, peace of mind is vital. Knowing your home is in the hands of a team of experienced professionals allows you to relax and enjoy the process.

Master Builder Woodmeister specializes in such assurances. From the initial design through to the finer details of the workmanship, the company oversees every step of its new home projects.

For this house, Woodmeister project managed the entire operation. Ted Goodnow, Woodmeister CEO and founder, says the key to the success of the project was the early coordination of the architectural and interior design teams.

"Bringing in the interior designer early on in the planning allowed for intricate detailing and the thoughtful placement of all systems to ensure optimum form and functionality," he says. "It also meant Woodmeister's design and engineering of the custom millwork and cabinetry could be integrated throughout the interior.

Goodnow says the house was effectively designed simultaneously from the inside-out and outside-in. This varies from a typical project where a house is designed by an architect, the interior space and systems are fitted, and at the very end, the house is furnished by an interior designer.

Some of the individual features that make this house stand out include the nautical-style pilot house entry in solid mahogany, and a secret widow'swalk with a floating mahogany roof deck, hidden between the gables and roof peaks.

"Newport mansions built in the 19th century are famed for their old-world craftsmanship. Our work here is in that same tradition," says Goodnow.
