This home, set at the end of a long, private driveway, is far more than meets the eye. Built in three sections and connected by two breezeways, the home’s setting takes full advantage of the clean ocean air. Set back from the water on an open plot, its lush lawn is bordered by fieldstone walls that lead to an ocean cove. The hideaway calms the mind and spirit, not only by its privacy from the noise of daily life, but through well-chosen elements, clean lines, and a bright, cheerful feel throughout. The interior is show-stopping, covered almost entirely in clear, vertical-grain fir—most of which was source from the same place. From the flooring to the walls, columns, staircases and ceiling beams, this special, tight-grain wood brightens every room in the home. At just over 3,000 feet of living area, storage and smart use of space was a huge consideration in the creation of this home. For example, the mudroom and living room were both built with expansive window seating with storage beneath. Built-in drawers and cabinets can also be found throughout, yet never interfere with the distinctly uncluttered feel of the rooms. The homeowners wanted the home to fit in as naturally as possible with the Cape Cod landscape, and also desired a feeling of virtual seamlessness between the indoors and out, resulting in an abundance of windows and doors throughout. This home has high performance windows, which are rated to withstand hurricane-force winds and impact rated against wind-borne debris. The 24-foot skylight, which was installed by crane, consists of six independently mechanized shades operating in unison. The open kitchen blends in with the home’s great room, and includes a Sub Zero refrigerator and a Wolf stove. Eco-friendly features in the home include low-flow faucets, dual-flush toilets in the bathrooms, and an energy recovery ventilation system, which conditions and improves indoor air quality. Other natural materials incorporated for the home included a variety of stone, including bluestone and boulders. Hand-made ceramic tiles were used for the bathroom showers, and the kitchen counters are covered in granite – eye-catching and long-lasting.

Inspiration for a contemporary kitchen remodel in New York

Andrew Sariti The owners of this Cape Cod wanted to enlarge their kitchen and create a more open, light-filled living space on the main floor. The clients are Mid-Century enthusiasts—this is reflected in their existing décor. They thought an addition in that style would be appropriate. Given the simplicity of the existing 1933 home, our designer fully agreed. Our designer extended the rear of the home by 13 feet along the whole width of the house. This provided an additional 475 square feet to the existing 1000 square feet on the main floor. This allowed for a large kitchen with an island and a sitting room. The windows are fiberglass in a modern style with a light blue finish on the exterior and interior. A sliding door fits in a recessed alcove. A small window on the left of the alcove brings even more light into the kitchen and provides a feel of light wrapping around the corner. There are no windows on the sides of the addition. This maintains privacy and maximizes space for cabinets in the kitchen and furniture/television in the sitting room.

Arrowhead Point is a classic Shingle Style home located on a peninsula with vast views of the surrounding cove and the ocean beyond. The dominant gable and entry way greet passersby and welcome visitors to the seaside home. The entry, framed by flattened columns, is purposefully situated to the side, helping to integrate the master bedroom wing and the horizontality of the house. Upon entering, the commanding water view is immediately visible. As dynamic as the vistas, is the design of the house itself.

AFTER: DINING ROOM | We removed the etched glass windows that ran throughout the main floor. We completely redesigned the staircase getting rid of the faux bamboo handrails and replacing them with solid maple handrails and hand forged iron detailing. New dark hardwood floors replace the previous travertine flooring. We replaced the existing lighting with double coco bead chandeliers and added custom drapery for a pop of color. | Renovations + Design by Blackband Design | Photography by Tessa Neustadt

The owners, inspired by mid-century modern architecture, hired Klopf Architecture to design an Eichler-inspired 21st-Century, energy efficient new home that would replace a dilapidated 1940s home. The home follows the gentle slope of the hillside while the overarching post-and-beam roof above provides an unchanging datum line. The changing moods of nature animate the house because of views through large glass walls at nearly every vantage point. Every square foot of the house remains close to the ground creating and adding to the sense of connection with nature.
