Cape Cod Forever Home

Location:
Cape Cod, MA

Sited on a sprawling perch that captures soft light throughout the day, this ground-up build would become the dream setting for a family residence on Cape Cod. We installed a custom Christopher Peacock kitchen with a large banquette for dining and family time. To create an added flow to what would become a main gathering place for the family, we added a pocket window from the kitchen to the four-season porch, a convenient way to pass food and beverages to the cheerful lookout, with a palette of summery colors.

The client owned an impressive art collection that would inform color choices and accents from room to room, including many vintage pieces sourced by Elms. We installed custom millwork throughout and wide-plank Dinesen floors, flown in from Denmark. The fireplace with wood touches makes a dramatic centerpiece in the family room. To facilitate working from home, we installed his and her offices inside the front door to separate work from family life. There is also a guest suite as well as a large finished basement with 10 ½ foot ceilings made from reclaimed wood.
