A3 was honored to be awarded BRICC Gold for Best Remodel from $250,000-$500,000 for our Namequoit River House Renovation & Addition with Philbrook Construction.
We began work on an existing cape in February 2020 (right before everything shut down for COVID!) on the Namequoit River in South Orleans. The existing home had an amazing view of the river and was sited perfectly, but the existing windows were small and existing floor plan didn’t take full advantage of the view. We added a new large sundeck facing the river off the living room and dining room. We also re-worked the main floor plan to allow for two 4 Panel sliding doors to be located off those spaces and relocated existing laundry & the half bath from the river side of the house to a new mudroom addition on the driveway side of the house. The new living room and dining room connect immediately to the exterior and highlight the amazing river views.

Screen Porch
The existing home had a lovely rustic screen porch located directly off the kitchen. The location was perfect – we simply added a door off the screen porch to connect to the new deck and stair down to the yard. Along with new screens, there are glass inserts to extend the life of the screen porch into the shoulder months!

the kitchen
The existing location of the kitchen was facing the river, which was lovely when standing at the sink, but did restrict the view. After a lot of discussion with the homeowners, we decided to flip the location of the kitchen. The windows at the kitchen sink now face the side yard, but the new location allows for optimal wall space (pantry cabinet, wall ovens, refrigerator!) without taking away from the river view. At the existing kitchen location, we added a large 4 panel sliding door that highlights the river view and connects the dining room and kitchen seamlessly to the new large sundeck facing the river.
