The 2,800 square-foot design interrupts the status quo of the greater Boston neighborhood with a fresh perspective. Referencing traditional elements of the New England farmhouse from materiality, detailing, and additive massing. The design features modern detail such as asymmetrical fenestration, wide clapboard siding, and black windows. A welcoming place for extended family and friends to gather every Sunday, the residence celebrates the comforts of home living.

Nestled in a traditional New England neighborhood, the 2,800-square-foot home, and elongated garage play precedent through a modern lens with subtle nods to traditional architecture. The program calls for single floor living with guest suites upstairs, a space for extended family gatherings, and a creative solution for the owner’s growing automobile collection.
