WHOLE HOUSE RENOVATION, WINCHESTER

Located in Winchester MA, just 8 miles from downtown Boston, this substantial whole house renovation with strategic small-scale additions breathes new life into an older home. Using a new material palette of warm wood (walnut and mahogany), stainless steel, black metal and glass, we created a kit of parts to weave new connections within the home and out into nature.

The project goals were to better connect the existing home to its lush surrounding landscape, create new opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities, and improve the visibility of the main front entry. We achieved these goals with thoughtful space planning, an updated material palette and high-quality craftsmanship.

Additionally, the project improved the home’s energy-efficiency by adding solar shade features, high-performance windows and doors, and 2 rooftop solar arrays.
