About This Project

The Cape Cod Modern House Addition in Wellfleet, MA, is a remarkable transformation of a mid-century home originally designed by Nathaniel Saltonstall, an esteemed architect and co-founder of Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art. This project involved a thoughtful reimagining of the existing structure, where the conventional layout of a formal bedroom wing and servant’s wing flanking a central living-dining area was replaced with a more fluid and functional design. The updated floor plan features three distinct wings that elegantly encircle a central kitchen and dining room, fostering a sense of communal living and enhancing family interaction. In terms of design choices, the architects embraced a modern aesthetic that pays homage to the original mid-century character while introducing contemporary elements that elevate the home's functionality. The expanded living room serves as a welcoming hub, designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger family events. The integration of an outdoor dining terrace, complete with a stylish shade structure, extends the living space outdoors, allowing for alfresco dining and relaxation amidst the picturesque Wellfleet landscape. The selection of materials for the addition reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and durability, with a careful balance of modern finishes and natural elements. The use of large windows invites ample natural light, creating bright, airy spaces that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. The addition also includes updated bathroom designs that honor the mid-century aesthetic while providing modern conveniences, enhancing the overall appeal of the home. The outcome of this project is a harmonious blend of past and present, resulting in a stunning residence that not only preserves its historical significance but also meets the needs of contemporary living. The Cape Cod Modern House Addition stands as a testament to innovative design, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship, ultimately offering a serene retreat that captures the essence of coastal living in Wellfleet.
