Whole House Renovation, Wellfleet, MA

Peter McDonald designed this whole house renovation in Wellfleet, carried out by Cape Associates. Wood shingles and a front porch give the street side a welcoming look, with a gravel path winding up through the pines. Warm evening light shows off the shingle siding.

At the back, wood decks with cable railings step through the trees toward distant water. A shingled upper level has a deck of its own, and sliding glass doors open from a bedroom. That bedroom has soft lavender walls and a sitting chair.

The kitchen has white cabinets, a stone counter and an island with industrial-style stools. A reclaimed barn door slides on a black rail. Star-shaped light fixtures add a nautical touch. Warm wood floors run through the kitchen and the rooms beside it.

• Gravel drive and covered entry
• Cable-rail decks facing the water
• Barn door and island kitchen
• Star pendants
• Hardwood floors
