Cape Associates, Inc.As innkeepers, Lois and Evan Evans know all about hospitality. So after buying a 1955 Cape Cod cottage whose interiors hadn’t been updated since the 1970s, they set out on a whole-house renovation, a major focus of which was the kitchen.
The goal of this renovation was to create a space that would be efficient and inviting for entertaining, as well as compatible with the home’s beach-cottage style.
Cape Associates removed the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room to create an open, airy layout. The ceilings were raised and clad in shiplap siding and highlighted with new pine beams, reflective of the cottage style of the home. New windows add a vintage look.
The designer used a whitewashed palette and traditional cabinetry to push a casual and beachy vibe, while granite countertops add a touch of elegance.
The layout was rearranged to include an island that’s roomy enough for casual meals and for guests to hang around when the owners are prepping party meals.
Placing the main sink and dishwasher in the island instead of the usual under-the-window spot was a decision made by Lois early in the planning stages. “If we have guests over, I can face everyone when I’m rinsing vegetables or washing dishes,” she says. “Otherwise, my back would be turned.”
The old avocado-hued linoleum flooring had an unexpected bonus: preserving the original oak floors, which were refinished.
The new layout includes room for the homeowners’ hutch from their previous residence, as well as an old pot-bellied stove, a family heirloom. A glass-front cabinet allows the homeowners to show off colorful dishes. Bringing the cabinet down to counter level adds more storage. Stacking the microwave, oven and warming drawer adds efficiency.

GIK AcousticsChef Acheson and his team recently installed GIK Acoustics sound absorption panels in his Atlanta restaurant, Empire State South which was named Restaurant of the Year by Atlanta Magazine in 2011. The restaurant definitely draws a crowd, and that crowd can be quite boisterous. Acheson and his staff knew the space needed a bit of fine tuning and turned to GIK Acoustics to help reduce the noise and provide a calmer, quieter dining experience. We stepped in with two dozen custom Spot Panels which were placed along walls, hallways and hung horizontally from the ceiling. Using complimentary Aquamarine and Chocolate fabrics, the panels virtually disappear from view, but the results are effective and noticeable.

Kitchen Design GroupThe interior walls of the shower area are cultured marble. This reduces grout line for cleaning and longevity in an old home that still moves quite a bit with the seasons. Tile was used above the shower line to tie in with the appearance of the flooring. This tile is visible through the open area above the shower door.
A standard 32" wide tub was used, with a half wall behind it to create a full width shower shelf while providing more shoulder room when showering.
Gardening AngelThis home had zero front landscape. The client requested low maintenance, succulents and rock elements. The area was not full sun, but had significant morning light and in fact had quite a bit of shade. This was a bit of a challenge to specify plants that could thrive in mixed light, but could handle direct sun for several hours a day. We incorporated some tough but lovely plants that require very little upkeep except to trim off spent/dying leaves to keep them looking clean. By using a rock edging and heavy mulching under the plants, we further reduced maintenance. We added landscape lighting to show off the garden at night and to provide subtle welcoming light to the entry.

bsq Landscape ArchitectsQuite often rear yards are often broken up into separate spaces that do not complement each other.
This small urban yard was no exception and to address this bsq redesigned a smaller deck that was opened up to the rear yard.
An integrated concrete seat bench added a fun element while removing the need for railings that would otherwise cut off the deck from the yard.
Entertainment space was key for this family so the garden areas had to be reduced.
Stainless steel cables were added as an architectural feel and to add support for vertical greening and flowering vines.
An existing Corten steel planter that was a treasured art piece was turned into a gas fireplace with a removable wood top to provide double duty as a coffee table that did not take up too much space.
