Shirley Road in Groton, Massachusetts by LABhaus Design GmbH

Article source: LABhaus Design GmbH

The project is a compound in Groton, MA. The project started with a 1930’s Sears kit house set upon 1.4 gently rolling hectare overlooking substantial preserves about an hour outside of Boston. While charmingly renovated, the existing structure offered only very small-scale spaces which couldn’t really accommodate family and guests looking for escape to the countryside.

LABhaus doubled the floor space with the addition of two beautifully scaled rooms, much needed utility space, an additional bathroom with outdoor shower, and a 52 m2 covered loggia which blends effortlessly with the main living space thanks to multi-panel pocket doors. The total area of the new structure is 102 m2 with a total of 94m2 of exterior space.
