Ingweren explain that litening to their client need and preference and trying to read between the line create a meaningful dialog. Thi allow u to interpret their way of life and preent them with a comprehenive deign plan that repreent their want, need and wihe. What the homeowner wanted wa a generou houe without the big houe feel. That wa the challenge for interior deigner Suan Tuttle of Surrounding in Orlean. The client are very family-oriented and were clear about how they like to ue the pace in their home. They preferred intimate pace and did not want the houe to feel too open or too large, but at the ame time the houe had to be able to accommodate their children and grandchildren in addition being a place for entertaining extended family and friend. The large kitchen and great room were both deigned with that in mind, complete with everal worktation and a pantry ervice area. The lower floor entertainment area and the barn provide plenty of recreational opportunitie for the children. Perfect for rainy day play.

Peter Mckendree of Ponderoa Landcaping and Stonework collaborated with landcape architect Allen Abrahamon to connect the exiting element, uch a the pool and tenni court, with the main houe in a way that wa imple and elegant, maintaining a Cape Cod feel. Mckendree explain There were exiting area, along with the other two home on the property, that had elevation difference of over twenty feet between them with a very teep lope. Connecting thoe element to the main houe and the barn in an appealing an natural way wa a great challenge and a lot of fun. We matched exiting tone and hand chipped the edge of the moaic walkway tone to create a oft look that connected the new area eamlely with the untouched area on the property. The brick patio are imple but elegant and provide the homeowner with an outdoor living pace that i in cale with the main reidence and perfect for outdoor entertaining The viion realized Although the many individual pace add up to a good ize houe, the final reult i a cottagelike feel that i warm, welcoming and informal. Attention to detail, not only in the deign and contruction, but in the way the home i ued by the family that live in it, i indeed what et it apart from the ordinary and make thi Cape get away a place to be enjoyed for generation to come. 84 annual edition outhern new england home 85
