Moving from living space to living space,
there is a focus on family. The main dining
room table that is for everyday use can be
combined with a similar table downstairs to
comfortably seat 16. In every area, there is
seating to allow relaxation and communication
without a feeling of suffocation. Family time
here will become important in the coming
years. “They have high school-aged kids that
are headed off to college,” said Haig, noting
the importance of this familial transition being
integrated into the design process.
The focus on flow and connectivity expands
outside to the approach to the house.
“One of the tasks as a designer is to give
you a sense of making it easy,” said Haig. “A
key feature for me was to give a sense of where
the activity is. Often the arrival of coming to
Cape Cod is a bit of a celebration itself; you’ve
weathered the traffic over the bridge.”
