Behind the Scenes of our Plymouth Renovation and Modern Addition Photoshoot

This past week A3 Architects met up with photographer Kate Brine and York Building to photograph our Plymouth Renovation & Modern Addition. We had such a wonderful time being in the finished space and getting to spend time with the homeowner and their adorable puppy, Sam!  He was the true star of the photoshoot!  

We are so excited to share the professional photos with you soon and do a fun before & after series! This house went through a real transformation!

Sam! the star of the photoshoot!

The homeowner came to A3 Architects in summer of 2023 after purchasing an existing New England style Cape from 1925.  They wanted to fully gut the existing cape and add a new modern addition at the rear of the existing home with a new first floor kitchen, pantry and living room and new second floor primary bedroom and bathroom.  A3 had a wonderful time working with the homeowner on the architectural design and it was wonderful teaming up with York Building on another exciting project!  The homeowner has some exciting future plans for a barn and ADU (accessory dwelling unit!)  We’re really looking forward to phase 2 of this beautiful project!
