Hills House

We were approached by a developer with the task of designing a spec home in Wellesley Massachusetts.  The developer wanted an elevated design appropriate for the suburban Boston neighborhood of Wellesley Hills.  The design became a modern interpretation of a shingle style center hall colonial home.  The front elevation is symmetrical about the formal front entry with steep sloping roof lines and a central eyebrow window.  The formal entry is framed by  a curved eyebrow portico and copper sloping roof.

Working with  challenging town ordinances and strict square footage requirements, we were able to produce a spatially large 5 bedroom home along with additional ensuite bathrooms, large family room and kitchen, formal dining room and study.  Our  goal was to provide the client with a unique  and heightened design while complying with the town requirements and keeping with the context of the neighborhood and town.  The Developer was able to sell the property during construction based off of the rough frame a visualization provided by our office .
