A simple house benefits from an extension/renovation, which brings the primary suite and kitchen-dining room spaces into scale with contemporary standards. In the case of a shingled cape-style house like this one, we found an understated style to complement the old and freshen up the backyard experience. It manifests as a clean and crisp single story mass with a large and cantilevered roof terrace above, conducive to barbecues and poolside cabana vibes.
