Perched atop the southern tip of Jamestown, this timber frame residence included a main house with accessory garage. The modest design accommodates a first floor master suite, 3 additional second level bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and spacious main dining and living areas.The dramatic ocean views lend the site very unique environmental challenges, including careful coastal impact assessments and engineered storm water abatement. The high water table at Jamestown required a Bottomless Sand Filter OSWD system.

The frame and enclosure was cut off-site and, after transport, erected in nine days during a summer heatwave. Collaboration amongst all team members was essential to making this a smooth and safe installation.

The unique exterior features a standing seam aluminum roof with maintenance free clapboard siding and aluminum coil wrapped trim. The heating and cooling systems installed were 95% high-efficiency SEER 16 units.

Interior finishes feature exposed beams, smooth plaster wall finish, a central open stairway, Brazilian cherry flooring, a custom kitchen and laundry area.

This project had the challenge of starting with a wooded lot. Every decision made clearing the site was chosen with care, maximizing privacy and incorporating many natural elements in the area. A high water table required substantial runoff mitigation and made the elevation establishment critical. Compass direction, the approach of the driveway, and the natural bounty of trees helped inform the process of tailoring the building site.

This home was a timber frame design, featuring a first floor In-law suite with large kitchen, 1.5 Baths, spacious living areas, and inviting foyer with side office. The second level has three bedrooms including Master with walk-in closet and 2 full Baths. All Baths have Custom Shower enclosures. Finishing the exterior is a 2 car garage and 600'+ square feet of covered and open Ipe' decks. The mechanical systems are 95% efficiency SEER 16 rated and the entire building is completely sealed with both compressed Cellulose and EPS insulating panels. The exterior finish of dipped white cedar shingles with a bronze steel roof reflect a New England elegance.

Our teams worked diligently raising the frame and shell of the structure across 10 days.

Thewlis Woods was a development of six lots on eight plus acres in the heart of South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The land use was a low density major subdivision that included preservation, in collaboration with the South Kingstown Land Trust, of approximately twenty six acres of open space. Many of the abutting property owners were impressed that we limited the build out of the property and preserved the quality of the surrounding neighborhood.

The focus of this gallery is to show a variety of projects Osprey Builders Inc. has completed.
