A close-up reveals the precision of the skylight framing by Solar Innovations, paired with LowE 272 glass to support light control and clarity.

Beneath the skylight, the open kitchen and bar sit at the center of the space, creating a focal point for activity and dining.

The project features a double pitch skylight with two eight-panel G3 infold with no corner post and two four-panel G3 infold all-wall bifold door units. 

The double pitch skylight by Solar Innovations draws daylight across the restaurant, supporting a bright atmosphere throughout.

A double pitch skylight spans the rooftop restaurant, bringing natural light into the bar and dining areas while framing views of downtown Providence.

From the exterior, the skylight rises above the structure, giving the rooftop space a distinct profile within the surrounding East Side setting.

Mare is a rooftop restaurant located in a tower on Waterman Street, Providence, Rhode Island.

The net-positive energy home organizes inward-facing living around private gardens using wood, clay plaster, and charred timber.

A slatted wood gate opens to a concealed entry courtyard, creating a layered threshold. 

White stucco landscape walls establish a quiet street presence, referencing neighboring homes. Above, a charred wood second level introduces a darker, contemporary counterpoint.

The home operates as a net-positive energy building, supported by a 7.92 kW rooftop solar array and battery storage. 

Custom white oak millwork defines the kitchen, integrating storage and seating into a cohesive volume. 

The dining space is positioned within the open-plan core, anchored by integrated joinery rather than freestanding furniture. 

The primary living space runs parallel to the rear yard, maintaining continuous visual connection to planted courtyards. Natural clay plaster walls and oak finishes soften the space's precise geometry.

The recessed genkan entranceway provides a transitional space and grounds the home in Japanese tradition.
