Cape Cod; Dennis, MA This Cape Cod-style bedroom combines a bright and airy feel with nautical accents, creating a cozy and welcoming space. The focal point of the room is the bed with its classic wooden headboard, featuring a warm, natural wood finish that complements the hardwood floors. The bedding is a crisp white quilt with a clean navy blue trim, which reinforces the coastal color palette. A square decorative pillow with a bold navy blue and white geometric pattern adds a modern touch and visual interest. The nightstand next to the bed is a simple white piece with a glass top, providing both a functional surface and a sense of lightness. A striking feature on the nightstand is a gourd-shaped table lamp with a vibrant teal or turquoise base, which adds a beautiful pop of color and a modern shape. A nautical element is cleverly placed on the lower shelf: a decorative rope knot, which reinforces the home's coastal theme. Natural light fills the room through the window, which is fitted with classic white plantation shutters. A brass swing-arm sconce is mounted on the wall above the bed, providing focused task lighting for reading. The light yellow-toned walls contribute to the bright and cheerful atmosphere, completing the inviting and serene aesthetic of the room.

Inspiration for a coastal family room remodel in Boston

Project: Custom single family residence Size: 3,700 SF Special Features: This home fuses Cape Cod and Florida vernacular architectural styles. It includes a breakfast porch on the boardwalk, a viewing tower, a detached carriage house, an elevator and vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom and the dining room. Project Details: CDP provided complete architectural design services.

The Watermill House is a beautiful example of a classic Hamptons wood shingle style home. The design and renovation would maintain the character of the exterior while transforming the interiors to create an open and airy getaway for a busy and active family. The house comfortably sits within its one acre lot surrounded by tall hedges, old growth trees, and beautiful hydrangeas. The landscape influenced the design approach of the main floor interiors. Walls were removed and the kitchen was relocated to the front of the house to create an open plan for better flow and views to both the front and rear yards. The kitchen was designed to be both practical and beautiful. The u-shape design features modern appliances, white cabinetry and Corian countertops, and is anchored by a beautiful island with a knife-edge marble countertop. The island and the dining room table create a strong axis to the living room at the rear of the house. To further strengthen the connection to the outdoor decks and pool area of the rear yard, a full height sliding glass window system was installed. The clean lines and modern profiles of the window frames create unobstructed views and virtually remove the barrier between the interior and exterior spaces. The open plan allowed a new sitting area to be created between the dining room and stair. A screen, comprised of vertical fins, allows for a degree of openness, while creating enough separation to make the sitting area feel comfortable and nestled in its own area. The stair at the entry of the house was redesigned to match the new elegant and sophisticated spaces connected to it. New treads were installed to articulate and contrast the soft palette of finishes of the floors, walls, and ceilings. The new metal and glass handrail was intended to reduce visual noise and create subtle reflections of light. Photo by Guillaume Gaudet
