Wellesley Tudor EXPANSION

Wellesley, MA

The main objective for this 650 SF addition was to provide updates the home without disrupting the authentic Tudor style.  The expansion had to be true to form and live as a seamless extension yet accommodate the client’s program needs. As a result, I required that the existing materials be preserved as they were removed during demolition. At the front facade, the salvaged brick from the demolition was expertly combined with new bricks of same character. The same process was applied the slate roof which also ties seamlessly with the existing.

Inside, the goal was to create spaces that feel spacious and livable yet in scale with the existing rooms. The addition maximizes the use of space and takes into consideration carefully designed details. The owner sought an expanded kitchen with pantry, a dedicated Mudroom, an additional Master Bedroom, and cosmetic updates throughout the home. As with the exterior, careful consideration was paid to scale and materials leading to a seamless integration of Tudor architecture and modern living habits

WE ARE THRILLED TO RECOMMEND KERI! SHE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US TO TRANSFORM OUR OLD 1920'S TUDOR STYLE HOUSE TO MAKE IT PRACTICAL AND FUNCTIONAL FOR OUR FAMILY. KERI HAS BEEN BEYOND RESPONSIVE AND EXTREMELY DETAILED ORIENTED AND CLEARLY UNDERSTANDS OUR GOALS OF CAPTURING THE CHARM OF OUR HOME, WHILE UPDATING IT.
