Classic Design on Rolling Hills

This client approached us wanting to design and build their dream home in a Cape Cod inspired style.

To accomplish this, close attention was paid to the details. We incorporated traditional elements such as shadowbox paneling, statement lighting, and classic Cape Cod design elements.

The heart of the home is the large living space that can accommodate the entire family. While selecting furniture, special attention was called to selecting perfectly scaled furniture. Four large Ottomans with Custom Walnut trays on top serve as the anchor to this beautiful living room. An over scaled Prussian blue velvet sofa was made to allow a space for people to lay down and watch TV, or cuddle up with grandma and read a book, or see many people for entertaining. Opposing pairs of club chairs in different fabrics anchor either side of the room.

Custom designed Newell post handrails and spindles add to the dramatic staircase and overlook into the living room. Tucked underneath the upstairs living space is a gorgeous kitchen with an oversized island to sit seven, with a traditional dining table tacked onto the end of the island. A custom banquette with cornflower blue leather help create a more casual elegance. A built-in bar was incorporated to meet the homeowner's desire to entertain.

Beyond the kitchen and through a gorgeous archway, you see a custom built-in drop zone that assists with everyday living.

Next, the butler’s pantry has everything you need to cook and prepare for every day without messing up the gorgeous main kitchen.

Continuing down the hall, a luxurious and statement making laundry room offers generous storage and workspace, making everyday chores a breeze.

Through another archway, original art is highlighted and serves as the entry to the guest suite. A refinished king size bed with traditional blue and white bedding, chairs and white window coverings all come together in this serene s
