A serene retreat
Celebrating outstanding interior design across New England, Knickerbocker Group is honored to be the recipient of a 2025 IIDA New England Design Award for The Honeymoon Cottage. Recognizing top projects, designers, and visionaries who are shaping the future of design, the awards highlight exceptional creativity and innovation across the region. Winning in the Residential Private category, the Honeymoon Cottage was designed and built by Knickerbocker Group with furnishings selected by the homeowner.
Every detail—from custom millwork to floating design elements (fireplace, bath vanity, shelving, and lighting)—reinforces a sense of lightness and continuity with the surrounding landscape. Natural materials, handmade tile, and solid stone provide grounding, while a carefully balanced color palette amplifies the calming, nature-inspired ambiance.
