Custom Contemporary Home Design Wayland, MA Expansion of the original building footprint (the original home was torn down) was not allowed, by zoning ordinance. This meant the design could not add a Garage to the site, which was highly desired. To solve the issue of protected parking for the home, Tektoniks Architects designed a cantilevered roof, which also forms the principle organizing element (a "spine") for the design. A Special Permit was obtained to allow us to utilize "air rights" over the required front setback to give proper coverage for the Owner's cars. Structural supports were placed at the limits of the required setback, and the structural design provided the necessary cantilever. The underside cladding of the Carport forms the aesthetic for the eaves and interior spaces of the home, with the slatted wood treatment extending continuously from front to back for the entire roof.

The design intent was to remain responsible not only in budget but in context, with respecting the impact on the site and neighboring homes. The home contains a considerable amount of glazing, which was an effort to honor the surrounding views and also provide life to the neighborhood. The ceiling heights are humble, which provide intimacy while maintaining responsible energy requirements to condition. The eaves extend out and mass was created, which lends a respectful nod to passive design.

Originally an unwieldy mix of Rambler and Tudor styles, this lakeside home in Edina now has an appealing cottage charm. A new, welcoming porch was added, making sense of an asymmetrical gable. Stucco and clumsy faux timber sticking were replaced with beautiful gray ledge stone and narrow lap siding contrasted with crisp white trim, giving the exterior a rich texture with a modern touch. Inside, the new kitchen was opened up to views and daylight, improving the interior flow of the home. Taking cues from the owners’ MacKenzie-Childs fixtures, the cabinets and fireplace pair a playful grid motif with a black and white material palette. The black and white theme is repeated with a striking accent wallpaper highlighting one wall with a sophisticated marble and stainless steel tile backsplash on the other. Light blue walls and a warm wooden island create a softer, more relaxed feel, bringing the cottage inside. Photo Credit: Brit Amundson

Engineered cedar siding creates beautiful gray-blue tones at the exterior of the home, while adding a textural element to activate the simple exterior design.

This 4,800 square-foot guesthouse is a three-story residence consisting of a main-level master suite, upper-level guest suite, and a large bunkroom. The exterior finishes were selected for their durability and low-maintenance characteristics, as well as to provide a unique, complementary element to the site. Locally quarried granite and a sleek slate roof have been united with cement fiberboard shingles, board-and-batten siding, and rustic brackets along the eaves. The public spaces are located on the north side of the site in order to communicate with the public spaces of a future main house. With interior details picking up on the picturesque cottage style of architecture, this space becomes ideal for both large and small gatherings. Through a similar material dialogue, an exceptional boathouse is formed along the water’s edge, extending the outdoor recreational space to encompass the lake. Photographer: Bob Manley
