Shorecliff
Magnolia, Massachusetts

Once the site of a former nursing home, this new 8 unit, 4 building multi-family development has beautiful ocean views. Each 3 bedroom unit is approximately 2,600 sf.

Together with Windover Development LLC, Siemasko + Verbridge has designed spacious and sophisticated residences.

"First House on the Right"
Marblehead, Massachusetts

Once a grand coastal home rivaling those on Marblehead Neck, this structure has seen the loss of its original hipped roof to a fire, the loss of its detached carriage house due to storms, and an overall battering due to a lack of maintenance for nearly 50 years.

Originally built over 100 years ago, this decaying Atlantic Avenue mansion adjacent to Preston Beach, had long been neglected and had been in a semi-ruined state - until now. The new owners of the property have plans to restore this home to its entitled grandeur, and they turned to Siemasko + Verbridge for their expertise.

First, the original roof form and dormers will be recreated on the main house. The recreation of the roof will restore the original appearance of the structure and add a small amount of interior space to the structure. Second, the original carriage house will be reconceived as an attached structure to the main house. Third, the landscape and hardscape areas will improve upon the existing weedy nature of the site. Site amenities such as a pool, terraces, low stone retaining walls, stairs and more thoughtful landscaping treatments will bring this structure back to its original state, while providing contemporary amenities and usefulness for a 21st century family life.

East Sandwich, Massachusetts

Hospice of the North Shore
Danvers, Massachusetts

Hospice of the North Shore has added a new wing to their facility. Siemasko + Verbridge completed interior design work for this new space. The colors and materials chosen are a perfect blend of the colors chosen for the main building, which the firm completed back in 2006.

Like a scene from the movie Cocktail, Siemasko + Verbridge principal, Thad Siemasko, recently played the role of bartender at Beverly's Mandrake Bar & Bistro. It was an evening of fun and laughter, all while supporting Beverly Public Schools.
