Jamaica Plain, MA -- "Sunroom mudroom." This back entry expansion project transformed a cramped doorway into a welcoming and functional vestibule for this bustling family home.

Constructed in two phases, this renovation, with a few small additions, touched nearly every room in this late ‘50’s ranch house. The owners raised their family within the original walls and love the house’s location, which is not far from town and also borders conservation land. But they didn’t love how chopped up the house was and the lack of exposure to natural daylight and views of the lush rear woods. Plus, they were ready to de-clutter for a more stream-lined look. As a result, KHS collaborated with them to create a quiet, clean design to support the lifestyle they aspire to in retirement. To transform the original ranch house, KHS proposed several significant changes that would make way for a number of related improvements. Proposed changes included the removal of the attached enclosed breezeway (which had included a stair to the basement living space) and the two-car garage it partially wrapped, which had blocked vital eastern daylight from accessing the interior. Together the breezeway and garage had also contributed to a long, flush front façade. In its stead, KHS proposed a new two-car carport, attached storage shed, and exterior basement stair in a new location. The carport is bumped closer to the street to relieve the flush front facade and to allow access behind it to eastern daylight in a relocated rear kitchen. KHS also proposed a new, single, more prominent front entry, closer to the driveway to replace the former secondary entrance into the dark breezeway and a more formal main entrance that had been located much farther down the facade and curiously bordered the bedroom wing. Inside, low ceilings and soffits in the primary family common areas were removed to create a cathedral ceiling (with rod ties) over a reconfigured semi-open living, dining, and kitchen space. A new gas fireplace serving the relocated dining area -- defined by a new built-in banquette in a new bay window -- was designed to back up on the existing wood-burning fireplace that continues to serve the living area. A shared full bath, serving two guest bedrooms on the main level, was reconfigured, and additional square footage was captured for a reconfigured master bathroom off the existing master bedroom. A new whole-house color palette, including new finishes and new cabinetry, complete the transformation. Today, the owners enjoy a fresh and airy re-imagining of their familiar ranch house.

The ultimate foyer vestibule by : Tania Scardellato – TOC design You know what they say about first impressions. Since the entryway is what your guests' will see right away — make sure the furniture, paint color, and seating that you choose send the right message This grand foyer was lacking storage, you had to walk 10 feet to get to the closet. By building a custom double sided storage / bench unit we were able to define the space adding storage, a sitting area mirror and hooks without taking the space away from this massive open concept. Above a huge LED ball light fixture not only provides great light but showcases the cathedral ceilings and adds an ornamental design to this once dead space. The porcelain and mosaic floor defines the space so that guests know to stay in this area and remove wet dirty boots.

Alberi velati nella nebbia, lo stato erboso lacustre, realizzato a colpi di pennello dapprima marcati e via via sempre più leggeri, conferiscono profondità alla scena rappresentativa, in cui le azioni diventano narrazioni. Da un progetto di recupero di Arch. Valeria Federica Sangalli Gariboldi
