Tucked into a wooded site near downtown Chelsea, this whole home renovation reimagines a dated residence through a Japanese-inspired lens. Clear-finished cedar wraps the exterior and soffits in a continuous envelope of warmth with vertical cedar siding, deep overhangs, and refined trim detailing come together to create a grounded presence within the landscape.
Exposed wood structure and cable rail detailing on the second story deck introduce a contemporary counterpoint, while the rock garden and evergreens reinforce the home’s dialogue with nature. Here, craftsmanship, landscape, and architecture converge in quiet harmony.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the way the architect interpreted what we described and the outcome. The results were beyond our expectations! The quality of workmanship that is now unseen was of the highest caliber. All in all, we can only laud the high quality of the workmanship, high standards, and the service of Giraffe and its subcontractors. We know we made the right choice!
