RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION / RENOVATION
FIRST PLACE
West Pond House, Peter Twombly, Estes Twombly + Titrington Architects
This all-electric home perched near the Charlestown shore replaced a poorly built, moldy summer cottage. The challenge, says architect Peter Twombly, was making a“ new 2,400-square-foot program, and an oversized one-car garage, fit the lot and not seem out of scale with the surrounding houses.” To do that, he divided the three-bedroom home into two parallel parts: a gabled two-story building that houses smaller rooms and a one-story space that encloses the airy living / dining areas, a first-floor bedroom suite and a garage.“ The design is elegant proof that a carefully crafted contemporary single-family dwelling can connect to a traditional neighborhood context, provide beautiful spatial variety and create an experience of spaciousness,” says Bernert.
