Wayland MA Modern Transformation

Project Year: 2020
Project Cost: $500,001 - $750,000
Country: United States
A modest mid-century modern house gets a 21st century makeover. We added about 500 sqft to this 1100 sqft house creating flowing open spaces with loft-like ceilings. Thermally-modified poplar siding on the addition is a v-groove shiplap profile.

High clerestory windows flood the kitchen - dining - living room with natural light. A built-in dining table made of maple butcher block interlocks with the island and rolls out to accommodate guests.

The existing portion of the home had low ceilings. The addition creates a dramatic shift in height within the open floor plan. The dark gray slate of the fireplace surround contrasts nicely with the clear maple flooring. The floating concrete mantle is original to the house.

The guest bathroom was remodeled with all new fixtures. A custom floating vanity makes this very narrow bathroom feel more spacious.

The master bedroom is partially in the addition and partially in the original portion of the house. The different ceiling heights divides the open plan into 2 distinct spaces.
