A 1600 s.f. addition and complete
renovation to a Cape Cod style home for a family of
four.
The addition provides a living room, sunroom, larger
kitchen adjoining a breakfast room and family room.
The second floor incorporates two bedrooms, a guest
bedroom/home office, new bathroom, and master
bedroom suite.
The clients decision to remain in a neighborhood
populated by modest homes, led to the preservation
and renovation of the exterior front facade. All new
windows, siding, roofing and masonry chimney were
installed. The rear addition is dealt with in a
contextual manner creating smaller volumes,
sympathetic to the existing structure and
neighboring homes, and providing an intimate garden
setting.
A strong dialogue was developed with the client, who
has a background in design and offered much input
with regards to finishes. These include recycled
glass tiles and tumbled slate in the front entry,
quartzite and glass in the bath, and end grain
butcher block in the kitchen. Stainless steel woven
mesh panels and ribbed glass were incorporated into
the kitchen cabinets as well.
Custom built-ins including a media cabinet and
separate CD storage unit in the family room,
bookcases in the sunroom, display cabinetry and a
new mantel in the living room, and mahogany master
bathroom cabinets were designed as well.
