Project Seven

Project Objective: This is the case of a simple addition. The basic suburban cape worked well for the clients--except for the kitchen, which was one of the smallest and most awkwardly located we've ever come across. The solution was to add a new, eat-in kitchen to the back of the house. In addition to providing a better kitchen, this addition served several of the clients' other goals: It opened the house more to views of the backyard stream; it allowed for building a protected raised patio in the L-space it created; and as the back yard sloped down, we were able to provide the owner, an avid woodworker, with a shop below that included a covered entrance for bringing in valuable veneers.
