On Cape Cod, clients had purchased an antique home in a prime location with glimpses of Nantucket Sound. The residence was charming, but dark and cramped interior spaces were less than ideal for modern day living. Their request was to design a new home that would pay homage to the existing structure, afford easier indoor/outdoor connection with a centrally located pool, and maintain a lawn for beloved family wiffleball games. Meeting their goals on a narrow lot was no small feat. The design solution involved rethinking the property using the architectural vocabulary of the antique house. The result is a home that respects history, albeit with a new floor plan featuring light-filled interior spaces that bear little resemblance to the originals.
