This charming Cape Cod had a series of renovations made by the previous owners that were simply odd and clearly an afterthought.  Despite the spatial obstacles, there was noticeable potential to transform the house into a forever home for our clients. By introducing a portico and finessing the interior floorplan, it provided the much needed definition and cohesiveness this home deserved.

​​

By learning how our clients use their home, we were able transform that knowledge into functional space.  On the exterior, we knew immediately that we needed to establish a sense of arrival by defining the homes entry.  The home's facade originally had two entry doors with mixed architectural hierarchy, leading to a lot of confusion.  By introducing a portico we were able to articulate the main entry, while seamlessly removing the unnecessary door and a plethora of curb appeal. 

 

On the interior, our first goal was to provide a proper sense of arrival that no longer opened up immediately to the laundry area.  By relocating the laundry to a more convenient location near the bedrooms in the house, it made room establish a welcoming foyer.  This reconfiguration also allowed for the half-bath to be relocated out of the eat-in kitchen area.  A subtle modification to the kitchen layout increased the kitchens efficiency, while the beautiful, airy finishes tie in the aesthetic of the rest of the home.
