Timberpeg and our Independent Representative,
Samyn-D’Elia Architects are excited to be part of the new Hampton Beach project.
Timberpeg provided the
timber framing for the pavilions and shade structures located along the beach as well as one of the bathhouses.

The New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development knew that the services at the Hampton Beach State Park needed to be replaced with facilities that could meet the demands of today. They turned to the NH Lakes Region architecture firm,
Samyn-D’Elia Architects as the project architects working along with,
ORW Landscape Architects and Planners, and
Vanasse Hagen Brustlin Engineers (VHB) to transform the existing park in two phases. This team developed Feasibility Plans that called for a family-friendly hub that echoed local vintage architecture, yet was tough enough to handle crowds and harsh seaside conditions. The project then proceeded in a multi-phase construction schedule. Phase 1 included two new bathhouses and accompanying landscaping and site construction.
The architecture of these buildings reflects the iconic New England coastal shingle style. The bathhouses are, however, modern with regard to energy efficient
features in materials and mechanical systems. State of the art insulation will keep the building comfortable in all seasons.
The use of skylights is one example of sustainable energy features that
were incorporated. The skylights will reduce the use of electricity for
lighting. The post and beam wood trusses display the historic New
England building technique.
