A ground-up design-build addition in Newton, MA — a dedicated studio built for a working sculptor. Bay Builders managed the full lifecycle, from pre-construction planning and architectural development through permitting, right into construction and final finishes. One accountable team, start to finish.
We built the new structure from the ground up — framing, roofing, and siding — then focused on what matters most for an artist's space: a stable, comfortable, light-filled environment to create in. High-performance spray foam insulation and a modern heat-pump mini-split HVAC system keep the studio precisely climate-controlled year-round, protecting both the artist and the work. Pella windows flood the space with the natural light a sculptor needs to see form and shadow clearly.
Inside, professional drywall and plaster finishing, fresh paint, and durable hardwood flooring give the studio a clean, modern feel that's built to last.
Key features & materials:
- Windows — Pella, positioned for optimal natural light
- Insulation — high-efficiency spray foam for superior climate control
- Systems — new water heating and heat-pump mini-split HVAC
- Interior — plaster finishing and hardwood floors
- Fixtures — plumbing fixtures from Ferguson Supply
Like every Bay Builders project, this one ran on our IDDS™ process: design, selections, and pricing were finalized before construction began — so the client had a clear scope, a fixed price, and no surprises from groundbreaking to final walkthrough.
