Mid-Century Geodesic Dome in Becket
Featured in Architectural Digest 2019:
Built in the 1980s on Lake Seneca in Becket, Massachusetts—perched on a peninsula with water on all three sides—the home is one of Buckminster Fuller's original geodesic dome houses. The home had issues with heating and electrical elements, and was dark wood–paneled throughout with wall-to-wall carpeting. Jess Cooney Interiors worked with 377 Builders to do an extensive renovation of the whole house, redesigning the master loft area and basement rooms, as well as an extensive renovation of the kitchen, where a pantry and a three-quarter bathroom were added.
Usable space was added in the mudroom, master loft, walk-in closet, kitchen, and pantry areas, along with a balance of open space for family gatherings and space for friends and family to come, stay, and be a little tucked away.
The home went from dated and drab to bright and serene, taking careful chances with color and unexpected materials while maintaining a quiet backdrop that allows the innate character of the space to shine.
