Katie Hutchison StudioWith two small children and a third on the way, the owners of an original eighteenth century Cape were quickly out-growing it, but they had no desire to move away from the Cape Cod home and location they loved. They simply needed a reconfigured layout and more space. Their goals included repurposing some existing rooms, adding a new kitchen/family area plus screen porch on the first level, and creating a master suite and roof deck with an outdoor shower on the second level, connected by a new stair.
Our challenge was to improve the flow between existing spaces, and design the two-story addition without overwhelming the pint-sized original Cape. We took advantage of the lower grade at the rear of the property to step the first floor of the addition down two steps from the existing main level. This allowed us to align the second floor in the addition with the existing second floor, while gaining ceiling height in the new first-floor kitchen/family area. We composed a cross-gabled form for the addition to improve the second floor headroom, while maintaining the existing eave line. We then extended some existing shed dormers to gain headroom and enhance function. We also expanded the outdoor living area with privacy walls along the roof deck.
New, larger, double–hung windows that match the lite configuration of the existing windows, along with new side-wall shingles and trim which resemble the existing exterior treatment help to tie the new addition to the old Cape. Though there’s no mistaking the new for the old, the two are simpatico.

Katie Hutchison StudioThis one and one-half story, in-town, simplified Gothic Revival on Martha’s Vineyard has had a handful of alterations over the years. The latest is the addition of a new shed dormer which we designed to join an existing shed dormer, forming an ell.
The result increased headroom, daylight, and ventilation, greatly improving a bedroom, while creating space for a new full bath and additional closets. The new dormer is nested in the primary roof and fitted with casement windows to match the existing dormer, as if they were built concurrently.
While we were at it, we introduced a new, fresh color palette upstairs and off the first floor main entry hall to highlight the Island locale and to play off the porcelain ceramic and beach glass tile that we chose for the new bath

Maria AureliIt was important to the homeowner to keep the integrity of this 1948 home — adding headroom and windows to the rooms on the second floor without changing the charm and proportions of the cottage.
A dormer in the master bathroom allows for more windows and a vaulted ceiling.
The bathroom vanity was designed to provide maximum storage.
The second floor is modernized, the floor plan is streamlined, more comfortable and gracious.

Ashton RenovationsThis project was completed in 3 different stages and involved a significant portion of the house. Probably the biggest issue was the stairway to 2nd floor. The original home was a farmhouse with a variety of additions and the staircase did not have sufficient headroom to get even a queen size bed up: big problem. Well, we ripped it all open and reframed a beautiful spiral stairs from the 1st floor up to the attic. We love the new bathrooms and kitchens, but the staircase was really challenging and it’s probably our most favourite part of the project.
We also built this project for the client while they were living in the Middle East. We appreciated their patience and trust in us while they were away.
