Pea Pond Home

This project involved the reconfiguration and renovation of a grand, traditionally formal residence to better accommodate the casual lifestyle of a modern family while preserving the home’s original elegance. The design introduced a series of more relaxed living spaces within the existing structure, including a new family room loft within the two-story living and dining area. The loft is set apart from the perimeter walls, maintaining the prominence of the original windows and chimneys while incorporating architectural detailing that complements the character of the home.

Additional living space was created by incorporating previously underutilized covered porches into the master suite and kitchen areas. The kitchen was expanded and reorganized to include informal dining, a recreation area, and a mudroom, with open shelving providing a visual connection between spaces. The master suite was also redesigned to include a new bathroom, study, and custom closets. A curved steam shower, finished in continuous tile across the floor, walls, benches, and ceiling, serves as a focal point of the master bath. A new central arbor is planned to restore the outdoor living space displaced by the renovations.
