Renovation, The Knack, Hyannis, MA

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.
