This house is ideally located in the woods, backing up to the Cambridge reservoir in Waltham. But the beautiful views and secluded outdoor spaces could not compensate for the 1970’s interiors, particularly the master bathroom and kitchen, which lacked distinction and needed to be updated. Black River Architects reorganized and totally renovated the master bathroom, creating a dramatic bathing alcove which contributes light and custom craftsmanship to the rest of the master suite.

This treehouse comes complete with a front porch and sleeping loft. The railings and banisters were all sourced and built on site. Rubber inner tube and wire ties make the roof water tight at the penetrations and still allow for the trees to grow. Reclaimed windows and doors completed the construction. Firewater Photography

Our kitchen underwent a complete transformation, starting with a full gut renovation. By removing the wall between the kitchen and living room, we created an open-concept space that feels both expansive and welcoming. To compensate for the lost cabinetry, we installed a large island with waterfall quartz edges, serving as both a functional workspace and a stunning centerpiece. The new Euro-style flat-front cabinets, crafted from rift-sawn Oak, feature a tight wood grain for a sleek, contemporary look. To pay homage to the home's 1970s roots, we incorporated avocado green lower cabinets, adding a nostalgic yet stylish touch. This blend of modern and retro elements has revitalized the kitchen, making it a beautiful and functional heart of our home.

Excerpt via our website ` "This little cottage was designed and built for storage and gardening purposes. A sanctuary away from the main house, set among big white pines, close to the perennial gardens. Clients have reported spending evenings on the porch sipping red wine and watching wild turkeys forage in the fields. The building is essentially an 8×12 saltbox with an added four-foot porch. A dormer is attached to the front and extended out over the porch. The additional gable detail enhances the design and adds character and charm by breaking up the rooflines. Four opening barn sash windows, a single 3’ door and a workbench give this cottage its uniqueness. The building in the picture has been finished off with special touches; including optional white cedar shingle siding and a set of stairs to compensate for the slope of the site. This cottage would make a great backyard retreat, bunkhouse, or special hide away." Available as diy plans ($50), cabin kits, or fully assembled.

Matt Bolt / Charleston Home & Design Magazine Homeowner wanted as few wall cabinets as possible, to downplay it "looking like a kitchen during social gatherings," as well as for the main wall focus to be the beautiful coastal wetlands outside the windows. To compensate, all base cabinets have rollout trays, drawers are outfitted for dish storage, a pull-out spice rack is located next to the stove, and a convenient microwave drawer is on the other side of the stove. All taller cabinetry, refrigerator, and the wet bar is located on the back wall. Here, the more delicate glassware is displayed in the glass-doored wall cabinets. As the homeowner usually enters the home from the garage into this kitchen, we placed an antique coat rack and hallway table (not pictured) right by the door for mail, keys, and cell, as well as a comfy easy chair (pictured) for reading mail and perhaps having a cocktail before starting dinner! Who needs the rest of the house?!!
