Colonial Cambridgeport
Added third-floor dormers to a colonial home in Cambridgeport. Gable dormers add space in the master bedroom, and new skylights provide light. Shed dormer on the building’s rear side allows creation of a new bath. Second-floor deck in back provides a leafy retreat, emergency egress, and bike storage on the lower level.

Wellesley Kitchen
Addition to a Historical Cape
Marshfield, Massachusetts
Client: Dr. Thomas and Katherine Thomas
This project is an addition to the original cape style colonial house located in Marshfield, distingished by the hand blown glass in the windows or doors, called Bulls Eye Glass. We like the look of these small windows to emulate this, we put small transum over the windows and doors.
Our goal is not to over power the existing main house. We angled the addition at 45 degrees, which also creates more private out door niche in the back of the house.
