Renovation, Truro, MA

This renovation in Truro was completed by Cape Associates working with Hammer Architects. Dark siding, metal roofing and large panes of glass give the house a contemporary look.

The setting is dramatic. An aerial photo shows the buildings sitting among pitch pines, with open marsh beyond. A screened porch with black-framed screens looks out to the same view.

Inside, the photos show:
• A dining table with a colorful rug and pendant lights
• A bedroom with a pitched wood ceiling and glass doors to a deck
• A soaking tub next to a corner window
• Bathrooms with white subway tile, a concrete-look sink and wood-framed mirrors
• A guest room with wood-clad walls and ceiling

Truro's marsh and woodland edges shape the design. Large windows connect nearly every room to the landscape, and warm wood inside balances the darker materials on the outside.
