Located in a residential neighborhood in Cape
Cod, this home is the perfect getaway for a family of four wanting to escape
the city life of Boston. The four module home was set on an existing 28’ x 50’
foundation to utilize the existing structure and expedite the construction
process. The new 2,775 sf home takes advantage of its natural surroundings with
an exterior stair leading to an expansive roof deck where one can bask in the
sun while in awe of the views overlooking both the bay and the ocean beyond.
This two-story double-wide typology is 2 boxes
set on top of another 2 boxes with a single cut carved out to designate entry.
To further expand the programmatic needs of the client and not the existing
foundation, appendages of linear 2x2 cedar screens of living space, outdoor
showers, balconies, and decks were added to the exterior. The house is clad in
a contextual cedar shake siding and tied together with accents of gray cement
board panels. With large expanses of glass and numerous operable windows the
house takes advantages of summer breezes and blurs the division of interior and
exterior. Furthermore, the exterior roof deck is complete with an exterior
fireplace, creating the perfect setting to view the sunset and Salt Pond Bay
beyond.
Furnished with maple
cabinets and dark recycled quartzite countertops, the kitchen is open to the
living and dining areas and visually connected to the exterior with sliding
doors opening onto the rear deck. While open communal areas dominate the first
floor, the second floor is composed of three bedrooms, two and half baths and a
media room that is linked to the exterior staircase leading to the roof deck.
The master bedroom suite features a cantilevered balcony and exterior shower
along with an alcove for a desk and chair to act as a makeshift office.
