Major Renovation, Lola Mer, Chatham, MA
Architect: Cape Associates Design Team
Lola Mer is a clothing boutique in Chatham. Cape Associates designed and built the renovation of the building, working as its own design team.
The shop is bright and white. White painted floors, walls and trim give a clean backdrop for the clothes, which hang on slim black rails suspended from the ceiling. Rattan pendants hang over the sales floor.
Original details remain, including a staircase with a white railing and a blue front door set into the entry. Built-in white cabinets with a long counter sit under a bank of paned windows, and a wicker screen divides the room.
Fitting rooms are dressed in cream curtains with a window behind each one, and a small seating area with cream chairs and a hide rug makes a spot to sit near the front of the shop. Wide white floorboards and light fixtures tie the rooms together.

Cape Associates renovated The Knack in Hyannis, working with B Architecture Studio. The photos show a low, hip-roofed building with black-framed windows and wood and white siding, set behind a planting bed of dune grasses.
Inside, a vaulted wood-slat ceiling carries exposed round ductwork and orange pendant lamps. Banquette seating and wood-topped tables run along the window wall, and the polished concrete floor suits a busy restaurant.
• Ordering counter beneath awnings and the Knack sign
• Orange K logo on the service counter
• Corrugated metal panels at the counter and fireplace wall
• Linear gas fireplace with Adirondack chairs nearby
Outside, the building sits low on its lot, with dark window frames set into wood and white siding and a gray roof. A wide window wall brings daylight into the dining room, and the planted dunes soften the parking edge.

Major Renovation, Del Mar Vacations, Orleans, MA
Cape Associates carried out the major renovation of the Del Mar Vacations building in Orleans, working with S.A. Architecture. The result is a modern commercial building that stands out among the area's shingled neighbors.
Deep blue horizontal siding covers the upper floors, interrupted by tall windows and vertical wood-toned panels. A concrete base anchors the front, with glass storefront openings at street level.
The interior is a bright, open office. Large windows look out to trees, and the exposed black ductwork and track lighting stay visible overhead. Tall planters with greenery divide the desk areas, and the carpet adds a graphic gray-and-white pattern.
Outside, a wood deck wraps the upper level. It has a railing, outdoor seating and potted plants set against the blue siding, giving staff a place to work or take a break in the open air. Wood-toned panels beside the windows echo the deck boards.

Commodore Inn Renovation, Harwich, MA
The Commodore Inn in Harwich is a traditional Cape Cod inn, and its hand-painted anchor sign tells guests it sits by the beach. Cape Associates renovated the property, which is organized around a courtyard with a swimming pool.
White columns and arched openings frame a long covered porch along the guest wing. Painted railings and a white picket fence border the lawn, and blue umbrellas and pool loungers give the courtyard a classic seaside look.
Inside, the guest rooms are finished in soft, light tones, with painted vanities, window valances and wood-look flooring. The bathrooms shown include white subway tile surrounds and compact painted vanities.
Clipped shrubs, hydrangeas and evergreens soften the walkways, and the main house keeps its gray shingled roof and white trim. A second-floor porch with a white railing looks over the front gardens, and white lattice panels between the columns add a fine-grained detail to the porch.

Major Renovation, Emerald Physicians, Falmouth, MA
Cape Associates completed this major renovation for Emerald Physicians, a medical practice in Falmouth, on Cape Cod's southwest corner.
The two-story building has taupe siding, white trim and a covered entry porch with a white railing. A small pedimented portico marks the door, and the practice's logo is on the glass.
Inside, the photos show a working medical office:
• A waiting room with wood-framed chairs and green patterned upholstery
• Check-in windows with wood trim
• A wide corridor with a glass-fronted nurses' station
• An examination room with an exam table and wall-mounted instruments
• Light wood floors in the hallways and soft blue-gray walls
The materials are chosen to feel calm and clean, and the exterior still fits the scale of its Falmouth neighbors. Clear sightlines, wide corridors and durable finishes support daily clinical work, and the soft palette keeps the rooms calm for patients.

Dennis Union Church Renovation, Dennis, MA
Cape Associates carried out this renovation of Dennis Union Church in Dennis, Massachusetts, working with Catalyst Architects. The gallery focuses on a commercial-style kitchen built for preparing food in volume.
Stainless steel dominates the room: work tables with lower shelves, a multi-burner range with an exhaust hood, a wall-mounted pot rack and tall reach-in refrigeration. A hanging rail keeps pots and pans within reach.
• Three-compartment sink and a pass-through dishwasher with blue racks
• Exposed copper supply lines under the sink counters
• Blue-gray resilient flooring and white wall panels
• Service window with a white solid-surface counter
Bright ceiling panels light the room evenly, and the serving window ties the kitchen to the adjoining space. The layout moves from refrigeration and prep to cooking and dishwashing, and the open window lets staff see across the room while they work.

Renovation, Provincetown Fine Arts Center, Provincetown, MA
The Provincetown Fine Arts Center is a compound of buildings that Cape Associates renovated. Its two levels face a shared courtyard and parking area, and the grouped buildings step along the street.
The exterior is natural cedar shingle with white window trim and painted doors. A long upper-level walkway with a wood lattice railing runs the length of the building, supported by diagonal timber brackets. Wood stairs connect it to the ground, and bicycles line the wall at one end.
Planting beds with grasses and shrubs border a stone-dust path, and gravel and pavers cover the courtyard. Light fixtures over the doors keep the walkway lit after dark.
Inside, long corridors have white walls, exposed ductwork and track lighting, and some rooms have transom windows over the doors. Fresh white paint keeps the interior bright, while the cedar outside is left natural.

Renovation, Mid-Cape Home Centers, Dennis, MA
Cape Associates renovated the Mid-Cape Home Centers store in Dennis. The photos highlight a timber entry feature that gives a large retail building a human scale.
The entry is a tall, open wood frame with a pitched top and lattice-style panels, set against a long store front with a metal roof and tan siding. At night, uplighting washes the wall and a red Mid-Cape sign glows.
Other details in the photos:
• Glass entry doors under the timber frame
• Wood beams with decorative cross bracing
• A flagpole and landscaping beside the front walk
• A view of the store from the road
The timber frame gives the store a clear point of arrival from the parking lot. Combining a working retail building with detailed carpentry shows how a commercial renovation can still carry a Cape Cod character, even beside a busy road.

New Building, Shepley Wood Products, Wellfleet, MA
Cape Associates built the new Shepley Wood Products building in Wellfleet. The complex combines a showroom and office with a long lumber shed, and from the road it presents a gabled entry with white trim, green doors and a small gatehouse.
A green metal roof covers the main building and the covered lumber racks, and a pond with native plants and a white railing sits beside the parking area. A pickup truck and lumber storage show the working side of the site.
Inside, the showroom has display doors and windows, hardware shelves and a green-topped service counter. A conference room with a round table looks out through large windows, and the ceilings carry recessed lighting.
The design pairs a village-style frontage with practical working space. Gabled entries, white columns and green trim soften the commercial use, while the covered racks and wide paved aprons let trucks and customers move around the yard.

Restoration, Waquoit Church, Waquoit, MA
Cape Associates carried out the restoration of the Waquoit Church in Waquoit. The photographs show a white clapboard meetinghouse with dark green trim, a steeply pitched front gable and a slender steeple with a louvered belfry.
The front has pointed-arch windows, green paneled doors and a small arched vent in the gable. The roof is a dark gray color that contrasts with the white walls, and mature trees frame the building.
The steeple is the most prominent feature on the street, and the crisp green and white paint shows the care given to the trim, doors and openings throughout.
Restoration work of this kind depends on respecting existing profiles, so the trim, shutters and window openings read in keeping with the original design. The result is a village landmark with crisp lines and a clean finish, standing among mature trees.

Restoration and Renovation, Brewster Meeting House, Brewster, MA
The Brewster Meeting House is a historic white-clapboard church with a steeple and clock. Cape Associates carried out its restoration and renovation, keeping the character of a building that has long been a landmark in the town.
The exterior shows a tall, narrow tower with a clock face and louvered belfry, and tall arched windows along the sides. A fieldstone wall runs beside the property, and mature trees surround the building. A set of green doors marks the entry below the clock tower.
Inside, the sanctuary has rows of white box-style pews with dark trim, a raised pulpit area and a brass chandelier. Tall windows with multiple small panes bring in natural light.
An organ case with gilded pipes stands at the front, with carved white trim above. The painted walls and woodwork are kept in light, clean colors, so the architecture remains the focus of the room.

Major Renovation, Dennis Memorial Library, Dennis, MA
Cape Associates carried out this major renovation of the Dennis Memorial Library in Dennis. The building is a white clapboard structure with a steep front gable, a columned porch and a red brick entry terrace framed by clipped evergreens and flowering beds.
The photographs show the exterior from several angles, including the shutters, the arched gable window and the small seating on the porch. The setting is a quiet village street, and the grounds are neatly kept.
Indoors, the library has shelving along the walls, a children's reading area with a raised seating step and a colorful wall display, and a staircase with a white balustrade. A large room with a piano and tables is also shown, along with a glass-paneled entry.
The building keeps its traditional character, with white trim, divided-light windows and a gabled front that suits its village setting. Brick paths, shrubs and window boxes soften the approach, and the interiors are warm, with cream walls and wood shelving.

Major Renovation, Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, Yarmouthport, MA
Cape Associates completed a major renovation of the Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod branch in Yarmouthport. The building keeps a traditional Cape Cod look, with gray clapboard siding, white trim and a brick chimney. Fresh paint and new roofing give the building a crisp, well-kept appearance.
A prominent front gable carries the bank's name and logo above a row of tall, black-framed windows. A covered entry sits at one end, and a separate drive-up canopy extends from the building on the side.
• Gray clapboard and white trim
• Front gable with the bank's logo
• Tall multi-pane windows
• Covered entry porch with railings
• Drive-up canopy
Landscaped beds with flowers edge the walkway, and the freshly paved parking lot has striped spaces and marked traffic arrows. Green lawn and mature trees surround the property. Dark green lettering on the gray gable gives the branch a clear, readable identity from the road.

Major Renovation, Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, Marstons Mills, MA
Cape Associates carried out this major renovation of The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod branch in Marstons Mills, a village in the town of Barnstable.
The exterior has a traditional look, with gray siding, white trim and a gabled entrance bearing the bank's sign. A deep covered drive-up canopy on white columns shelters the teller lanes beside the building.
Inside, the photos show:
• A curved teller counter with wood-paneled fronts and a stone-tile floor in front of it
• Recessed lighting and a rounded soffit above the counter
• Small private offices with painted accent walls in soft purple
• Wide trim and paneled doors
The result is a bank that looks at home among Cape Cod's village buildings while serving customers both at the drive-up and in the lobby. Residential-style trim, warm wood and gentle color keep the interior welcoming for a commercial space with a steady flow of visitors.
