Overthinking a situation isn’t always a bad thing, particularly when the home in question is one in which the past is suddenly meeting the present. Originally designed by Finnish architect Olav Hammarstrom in 1952 for fellow architect Eero Saarinen, this unique home recently received its first transformation in decades. Still in its 1950s skin, it was completely gutted, inside and out. It was a serious undertaking, as the homeowner wanted modern upgrades, while keeping an eye toward retaining the home’s 1950s charm. She had a vision for her home, and she stuck to it from beginning to end.
Perched on a rise of land and overlooking the tranquil Wellfleet Herring Pond, the home initially appears split, with the guest house on the left, and the main house of the right, but both ends are connected with a breezeway. The original home’s bones were in good shape, but many upgrades and replacements were necessary to bring the house up to date.
New siding, roofing, gutters, insulation and mechanical systems were all replaced. Doors and windows with metal frames were custom made by a company in Long Island that fabricates doors for office buildings. Modern heating and cooling systems were added, and the three bathrooms were all updated. The footprint of the home remained unchanged. Inside, the only expansion was more closet space.
The attention to detail in retaining the 50s-style look took a lot of online searching, from handles and knobs to lighting fixtures, with bits and pieces arriving from all over the world, including a doorstop from New Zealand. The homeowner selected many of the fixtures herself, while a very detail-oriented foreman exhaustively researched as well, looking for just the right piece for each and every location.
High-end appliances were purchased to modernize the kitchen and all of the old cabinetry was removed, replaced and refaced with NUVACOR, a versatile surfacing material that not only provided a sleek, modern look, but added convenience and ease of use.
Bare, wood-beamed ceilings throughout give a nod to the home’s natural surroundings, while the main living area (formerly a fisherman’s cabin), with a brick fireplace, was completely trimmed in walnut, while multiple windows of varying sizes welcome sunlight to brighten the home. Here, the sheetrock ceiling with faux rafters provides an interesting and room-brightening feature.
Behind the house sits the serene pond, which can now be enjoyed from the stunning new deck. Here, decking material was not laid out side by side, as it typically is but, instead, meticulously laid out on edge, creating an unusual and eye-catching effect. A railing of tempered glass panels allows unobstructed views of the surrounding natural beauty, and keeps consistent with the open, airy feel of the place. A new outdoor shower is accessible via the deck and left open to the wilderness and the pond below, completing the bold yet sophisticated feeling of this retro-modern home.

This serene master bathroom design forms part of a master suite that is sure to make every day brighter. The large master bathroom includes a separate toilet compartment with a Toto toilet for added privacy, and is connected to the bedroom and the walk-in closet, all via pocket doors. The main part of the bathroom includes a luxurious freestanding Victoria + Albert bathtub situated near a large window with a Riobel chrome floor mounted tub spout. It also has a one-of-a-kind open shower with a cultured marble gray shower base, 12 x 24 polished Venatino wall tile with 1" chrome Schluter Systems strips used as a unique decorative accent. The shower includes a storage niche and shower bench, along with rainfall and handheld showerheads, and a sandblasted glass panel. Next to the shower is an Amba towel warmer. The bathroom cabinetry by Koch and Company incorporates two vanity cabinets and a floor to ceiling linen cabinet, all in a Fairway door style in charcoal blue, accented by Alno hardware crystal knobs and a super white granite eased edge countertop. The vanity area also includes undermount sinks with chrome faucets, Granby sconces, and Luna programmable lit mirrors. This bathroom design is sure to inspire you when getting ready for the day or provide the ultimate space to relax at the end of the day!

The essence of age-old bathing traditions from the Japanese with the most modern of bathing amenity delivers this wonderful deep, single person soaking bathtub.
Aquatica’s Mini Tranquility is truly reminiscent of the Japanese Ofuro style of tub and like its forebear, includes a built-in seat and ergonomically-shaped back and headrest in which to sit and soak in blissful comfort. Yet all this comes in a tiny footprint of just 43”, the only bathtub like it on the market. Big enough for full-body emersion of even 6ft-plus bathers, yet so compact and space efficient it fits easily where no other bathtub can.
The tub is crafted from AquateX™, Aquatica’s patented, next generation solid surface composite that provides robust durability and good looks that are smooth to the skin. The wide rim aids ease of entry into the bath, which can also be enhanced with the addition of the beautiful, optional, solid teak wood step.
The other outstanding feature of this unique and wonderful bathtub, also inspired by the ancient Japanese art of bathing, is Aquatica’s water heating and recirculation system (just like the traditional Japanese oidaki). Now, you can enjoy continuous hot water within your bath, maintaining a constant temperature of 104F /40C (41-45C in Europe and other markets) without having to add fresh hot water and waste power.
The built-in Tranquility heating system is utilizing a low flow/high-efficiency ultra-quiet pump. Equipped with minimalist control panel, a standard 1.5kW inline water heater (US) or 2kW (Europe and other markets) with ozone disinfection, Bluetooth audio system, and underwater LED сhromotherapy system, the Tranquility system provides the ultimate luxury bathing experience.

Outdoor
sports events bring excitement, energy, and team spirit, and nothing
complements that atmosphere better than the right gear. Among the must-have
accessories for fans and athletes alike are custom snapback hats. These hats
are not only stylish but also functional, providing comfort and protection
during long hours in the sun. When paired with personalized sports apparel
from FastCustomJerseys,
snapback hats become the ultimate accessory for sports enthusiasts.
Exceptional
Sun Protection
One
of the most important aspects of attending or participating in an outdoor
sports event is protecting yourself from the sun. Prolonged exposure can
lead to discomfort, sunburn, and even long-term skin damage. Snapback hats
provide excellent coverage for the face and eyes thanks to their structured
brims.
Adjustable
Fit for Maximum Comfort
Unlike
fixed-size caps, snapback hats come with adjustable back straps, allowing
wearers to achieve a personalized fit. This feature ensures the hat stays
securely in place even during high-energy activities such as running,
cheering, or jumping. A well-fitted snapback also reduces the chances of it
blowing away on a windy day, which is essential for outdoor sports events
held in open fields or stadiums.
Wide
Brim for Effective Shade
The
wide, flat brim of a snapback hat effectively blocks the sun from your eyes,
reducing glare and improving visibility. This is particularly beneficial
when watching daytime games or participating in sports that require focus
and concentration. In addition to comfort, the shade offered by the brim
helps prevent squinting and headaches caused by prolonged sun
exposure.
Durable
and Long-Lasting Material
Outdoor
sports events often involve unpredictable weather, including sudden rain,
strong winds, and heat. Snapback hats are crafted from high-quality
materials such as cotton, polyester, or a blend, making them durable enough
to withstand these conditions.
Resistance
to Wear and Tear
The
sturdy construction of snapback hats ensures they can endure rough handling,
whether you’re carrying them in a backpack, tossing them into a bag,
or adjusting them repeatedly throughout the day. Their long-lasting material
makes them a reliable accessory for repeated use over multiple sports
seasons.
Easy
Maintenance
Another
practical advantage is the ease of cleaning. Snapback hats can be
hand-washed or gently wiped down, making them perfect for sports enthusiasts
who are constantly on the go. Unlike some delicate hats that lose their
shape, snapbacks maintain their structure even after repeated
cleaning.
Versatility
in Style
Snapback
hats are not just functional; they are also stylish accessories that enhance
your overall look at sports events. Their design allows them to complement a
wide range of outfits, from casual shorts and t-shirts to sports
jerseys.
Trendy
and Modern Look
The
structured shape and bold appearance of snapbacks make them a
fashion-forward choice. Many sports fans enjoy wearing snapbacks featuring
team colors, logos, or custom designs to showcase their support. This
combination of fashion and functionality makes snapbacks a must-have for
anyone looking to make a statement at a sports event.
Gender-Neutral
Appeal
Snapback
hats are suitable for everyone. Their universal design ensures that they can
be worn by men, women, and teenagers alike, without compromising style or
comfort. The adjustable strap guarantees a perfect fit for all head sizes,
making it a versatile accessory for groups attending outdoor events
together.
Lightweight
and Breathable Design
Comfort
is key during long hours at outdoor sports events. Snapback hats are
typically lightweight, which prevents discomfort and allows for extended
wear.
Breathable
Materials for Airflow
Most
snapback hats are designed with breathable fabrics or ventilation holes,
allowing air to circulate around the scalp. This feature is especially
important during hot summer events, as it reduces sweat accumulation and
keeps the head cool.
Ideal
for High-Intensity Activities
Whether
you are participating in sports like baseball, soccer, or running, the
lightweight design ensures that the hat does not weigh you down. The
combination of comfort and practicality makes snapbacks ideal for athletes
and spectators alike.
Easy
Customization for Team Spirit
Snapback
hats are highly customizable, which is a significant advantage for sports
enthusiasts. Fans and athletes alike can choose designs, colors, or logos
that represent their favorite teams or personal style.
Showcase
Team Loyalty
Attending
a sports event wearing a snapback hat that features team colors or emblems
is an excellent way to display loyalty and enthusiasm. It adds a sense of
unity among fans and creates a visually engaging atmosphere at outdoor
games.
Personalized
Accessories
In
addition to team logos, snapback hats can also be customized with personal
designs, slogans, or initials. This makes them not only a practical
accessory but also a personal statement that reflects individual personality
and taste.
Affordable
and Accessible
Compared
to other sports accessories, snapback hats are reasonably priced and widely
available. This affordability allows fans to purchase multiple hats for
different events or seasons, without straining their budget.
A
Smart Investment
Considering
their durability, versatility, and timeless appeal, snapback hats are a
smart investment for anyone attending outdoor sports events. They provide
long-term value, combining protection, style, and comfort in a single
accessory.
Easy
to Find
Snapback
hats are available at sports stores, online retailers, and event venues,
making them highly accessible. Their popularity ensures that fans can easily
find designs that suit their preferences and support their favorite
teams.
Conclusion
Custom
snapback hats are the perfect accessory for outdoor sports events. They
combine functionality, style, and team spirit, making them a must-have for
both players and fans. By choosing hats from FastCustomJerseys,
sports enthusiasts can enjoy personalized designs, superior comfort, and
long-lasting durability. Whether for sun protection, team unity, or simply
looking stylish at the stadium, custom snapback hats enhance the overall
sports experience, proving that sometimes the right accessory can make all
the difference.

This client prefers a minimal approach, which we accommodated by providing reduced visual clutter with strategically placed wall art and large furnishings to fill the space. This includes the sculptural pieces styled in the custom-built bookcases. This 9ft tall custom feature was then styled in pieces that aligned with the client’s aesthetic.
Due to our client’s hindrances in physical capabilities with his hands, we changed out many of the window blinds to cordless and easy pull-downs as well as replaced tassels for ease of function and reach. The double-height ceilings in this space pose a challenge when it comes to accessing the upper windows. To address this issue, we have installed automated shades for our client. These shades not only filter light to protect our client's delicate skin but also provide a practical solution for controlling the lighting in this newly renovated area.

Overthinking a situation isn’t always a bad thing, particularly when the home in question is one in which the past is suddenly meeting the present. Originally designed by Finnish architect Olav Hammarstrom in 1952 for fellow architect Eero Saarinen, this unique home recently received its first transformation in decades. Still in its 1950s skin, it was completely gutted, inside and out. It was a serious undertaking, as the homeowner wanted modern upgrades, while keeping an eye toward retaining the home’s 1950s charm. She had a vision for her home, and she stuck to it from beginning to end.
Perched on a rise of land and overlooking the tranquil Wellfleet Herring Pond, the home initially appears split, with the guest house on the left, and the main house of the right, but both ends are connected with a breezeway. The original home’s bones were in good shape, but many upgrades and replacements were necessary to bring the house up to date.
New siding, roofing, gutters, insulation and mechanical systems were all replaced. Doors and windows with metal frames were custom made by a company in Long Island that fabricates doors for office buildings. Modern heating and cooling systems were added, and the three bathrooms were all updated. The footprint of the home remained unchanged. Inside, the only expansion was more closet space.
The attention to detail in retaining the 50s-style look took a lot of online searching, from handles and knobs to lighting fixtures, with bits and pieces arriving from all over the world, including a doorstop from New Zealand. The homeowner selected many of the fixtures herself, while a very detail-oriented foreman exhaustively researched as well, looking for just the right piece for each and every location.
High-end appliances were purchased to modernize the kitchen and all of the old cabinetry was removed, replaced and refaced with NUVACOR, a versatile surfacing material that not only provided a sleek, modern look, but added convenience and ease of use.
Bare, wood-beamed ceilings throughout give a nod to the home’s natural surroundings, while the main living area (formerly a fisherman’s cabin), with a brick fireplace, was completely trimmed in walnut, while multiple windows of varying sizes welcome sunlight to brighten the home. Here, the sheetrock ceiling with faux rafters provides an interesting and room-brightening feature.
Behind the house sits the serene pond, which can now be enjoyed from the stunning new deck. Here, decking material was not laid out side by side, as it typically is but, instead, meticulously laid out on edge, creating an unusual and eye-catching effect. A railing of tempered glass panels allows unobstructed views of the surrounding natural beauty, and keeps consistent with the open, airy feel of the place. A new outdoor shower is accessible via the deck and left open to the wilderness and the pond below, completing the bold yet sophisticated feeling of this retro-modern home.

Perched on a rise of land and overlooking the tranquil Wellfleet Herring Pond, the home initially appears split, with the guest house on the left, and the main house of the right, but both ends are connected with a breezeway. The original home’s bones were in good shape, but many upgrades and replacements were necessary to bring the house up to date.
New siding, roofing, gutters, insulation and mechanical systems were all replaced. Doors and windows with metal frames were custom made by a company in Long Island that fabricates doors for office buildings. Modern heating and cooling systems were added, and the three bathrooms were all updated. The footprint of the home remained unchanged. Inside, the only expansion was more closet space.
The attention to detail in retaining the 50s-style look took a lot of online searching, from handles and knobs to lighting fixtures, with bits and pieces arriving from all over the world, including a doorstop from New Zealand. The homeowner selected many of the fixtures herself, while a very detail-oriented foreman exhaustively researched as well, looking for just the right piece for each and every location.
High-end appliances were purchased to modernize the kitchen and all of the old cabinetry was removed, replaced and refaced with NUVACOR, a versatile surfacing material that not only provided a sleek, modern look, but added convenience and ease of use.
Bare, wood-beamed ceilings throughout give a nod to the home’s natural surroundings, while the main living area (formerly a fisherman’s cabin), with a brick fireplace, was completely trimmed in walnut, while multiple windows of varying sizes welcome sunlight to brighten the home. Here, the sheetrock ceiling with faux rafters provides an interesting and room-brightening feature.
Behind the house sits the serene pond, which can now be enjoyed from the stunning new deck. Here, decking material was not laid out side by side, as it typically is but, instead, meticulously laid out on edge, creating an unusual and eye-catching effect. A railing of tempered glass panels allows unobstructed views of the surrounding natural beauty, and keeps consistent with the open, airy feel of the place. A new outdoor shower is accessible via the deck and left open to the wilderness and the pond below, completing the bold yet sophisticated feeling of this retro-modern home.

A jewel box townhouse with a high/low approach gave our busy working couple a design-forward space, arousing a new sense of happiness and pride in their home. With a love for entertaining, our clients needed a space that would meet their functional needs and be a reflection of them. They brought on Pulp to create a vision that would functionally articulate their style. Our design team imagined this edgy concept with lots of unique style elements, texture, and contrast. Pulp mixed luxury items, such as the bone-inlay cocktail table and textual black croc wall covering, and offset them with more affordable whimsical touches, like individual framed feathers. Beth and Carolina pushed their tastes to the limit with unexpected touches, like the split face bookends and the teak hand chair, to add a quirky layer and graphic edge that our homeowners would come to fall in love with.

Overthinking a situation isn’t always a bad thing, particularly when the home in question is one in which the past is suddenly meeting the present.
