This historic, late Victorian-era inspired Shingle Style icon has held a commanding presence on historic Cohasset Harbor since the 1904, but had fallen into disrepair and suffered from incremental additions and purpose-driven alterations. The Interior Designer (Instagram@palmandprep) client/owner worked with HMA to envision a return to the original massing and to create a re-worked floor plan of signature spaces.
Working strategically with existing structural systems, the project adapted ‘found’ attic and basement spaces that are now considered the feature areas of the house. The Margin Street elevation was updated to support new porch areas that lend a seamless sense of the interior to the southerly vista of Cohasset Harbor and eastward to the Atlantic ocean.
