This design transformed a typical arrangement of two bedrooms with a bath between into a stunning master suite with two full baths with entirely different but complementary characters, a common dressing area, and a bedroom that feels much removed from the activity of the household.
This project almost doubled the living space, both indoor and outdoor, for a growing family. The 1860’s cross-plan house sat on a double lot which had a large parking lot covering much of the property. We added space to the kitchen, which now opens out to a patio. A two-story addition has a library, office and new master suite overlooking the new garden.
A summer residence for a large family gets a new kitchen, two and a half baths, an outdoor shower and deck, a mudroom and a study/guest space. Inspired by the summer kitchen of this former boarding house, the character of the new space echoes the light, Stick-into-Shingle style lines of the original house. Notice the beaded board ceilings in the study and large bath, which evoke the airiness of a cabana. The kitchen went from a dark-wood panelled dead-end with one window to a light-filled center of the house, complete with a custom-made table for breakfast and other activities.
