科德角四季之家

Onset Bay is the perfect location for a tranquil year-round family oasis.

A quaint bayside village lined with sandy white beaches and glittered with Victorian charm, Onset坐落在韦勒姆镇, MA. 离波士顿只有一个小时的车程, this 角 Cod locale conveniently accommodates summering city-dwellers. 然而，许多人把科德角变成了全年的家园, including the owners of this magnificent waterside property. 

The home sits on a lush hilltop lot overlooking an expansive stretch of Onset Bay—a perfect location for a tranquil family oasis. The homeowners’ dream was to transform the property into a space to be enjoyed by the whole family year-round.

To reshape the home to suit their needs, the homeowners consulted 麦凯建筑师. “More people are making their permanent residences their 角 and Island homes,麦凯建筑事务所的凯丽·麦凯说. “They want to incorporate year-round recreational design so they can enjoy those features year-round.”

The project began as a complete gut renovation of an existing home built in the 1930’s. 装修扩大了房子从4,200平方英尺到13平方英尺,800 square feet with the addition of a 10-car garage, 马车的房子, 以及适合全年使用的大型游泳馆. Prior to the renovation, the home did not take full advantage of the lot’s stunning surroundings. An abundance of oversized windows were added to usher in spectacular views from every angle of the home.

Ample space to entertain and full access to the water were made available in unique and creative ways. The seasonally versatile atrium-style Natatorium boasts plentiful bay views that create a seamless coexistence between the natural surrounding waters and the swimming pool itself. Bifold doors were installed adjacent to the pool area to invite the outdoors in on a warmer day, while giving the option to enclose the space for comfort in cooler months. The homeowners’ active lifestyle inspired the addition of a multi-purpose entertainment and gym space within the Natatorium.

The homeowners also envisioned a gathering space by the dock, sparking McKay to consult Peter Luciani of LuciGold for an innovative solution. Their skillful collaboration yielded a sleek and functional sitting area atop a pre-existing staircase that leads to an extensive dock. 从甲板上看，码头被巧妙地隐藏了起来. A simple lift of a discrete latch door—which blends flawlessly into the deck surface—unveils the way to the water. Panoramic views of the bay dwell at the edge of the dock, paying homage to Onset’s seaside wonders.

The innovative and versatile amenities of this renovation prove that coastal living on the 角 and 岛屿 is not just reserved for summertime. As the region’s year-round population continues to grow, this project serves as an emblem of inspiration of what is possible—no matter the season.
