THE STORY

This Addition/ Renovation is designed for a large family of professional artists. The house is located on a large wooded lot in the town of Oak Bluffs. This project was to provide a new Accessory Apartment with an open-plan Living area, in conjunction with cathedral ceilings and clerestory windows. These design elements created a communicating space with ample natural ventilation and a tremendous amount of sun light. In addition, we designed a new Master Bedroom suite off of the Living space, which is to be built all on one floor.

In addition to natural ventilation and other sustainable systems/ methods, our design approach also included building information modeling (BIM), which gave us valuable technical feedback to design and detail the building with optimal energy efficiency for each aspect of the building’s envelope.
