Trellises above the lounge chairs by the pool also feature the classical columns.
Their new in-laws in Cotuit introduced them to their
builder and architect, Gary Souza of Rogers & Marney and
Tim Luff of Archi-Tech Associates. Within a year, they found
a building site. Five years later, they were happily hosting their
second daughter’s rehearsal dinner and wedding brunch at
their new shingle-style home.
They’ve created the perfect place for entertaining. This
past July Fourth, for example, they hosted twenty of their
son’s friends with sleeping space for all.
They wanted a cozy Cape Cod feel for their family to gather
in and they got it, complete with some secret rooms that you
might find in a vintage old home by the sea. For example,
a walk-in closet unexpectedly opens up to a nursery.
Hallways are hard to find in this home. “I really dislike
hallways.” the homeowner explains. She asked Tim to avoid
them and he created large open spaces that easily transition
from one room to another without the use of hallways.
What else did she feel strongly about? “Porches,” she
says. “I wanted lots of porches. As many as possible. Tim
was afraid too many porches might make the house dark,
but he did a great job avoiding that.” She’s right. The home is
flooded with natural light.
