Story

Feinmann transformed this beautiful and almost 200-year-old home in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The client was a detail-oriented couple with a distinct taste and passion for design. Since they were open to new ideas, the possibilities and creativity were endless. Solutions, suggestions, and inspirations flew back and forth from start to finish, creating a truly unforgettable project.

The primary goal was to expand the kitchen. However, we couldn’t renovate this room because it was part of the rear section of the home that had no foundation. To work around this limitation and Boston’s strict zoning guidelines, we replaced the back of their house with a two-story addition that integrated seamlessly with the original structure. Ultimately, we delivered a sunlit kitchen that effortlessly connects to an outside patio, a mudroom with plenty of storage, and a luxurious bedroom suite.

The couple had an authentic vision for the interior. They wanted the new space to have a warm, antique feel reminiscent of homes built in the 1800s. Additionally, they wanted to integrate mid-century modern and French style elements tastefully. We collaborated with the client to find the perfect balance of these styles, resulting in an eclectic design that was a living impression of their lives and home’s age.

The kitchen has many gorgeous, eye-catching fixtures that flawlessly blend an antique feel with modern living. Examples include hand-sanded reclaimed wood flooring, an expansive marble island, soapstone perimeter countertops, light-inviting French-style doors, a wrought iron fireback, and a traditional range from Italy. High-end kitchen and display cabinetry with customizations to include a tap and a coffee station enhance these marvels. We then outfitted the cabinets with unlacquered brass hardware that’ll tarnish over time to embellish the 1800s look.

Next to the kitchen is the mudroom, which is both attractive and functional. This space has generous storage hidden behind clean-lined cabinets. We also installed heating under the natural stone floors for added comfort.

Upstairs, we continued using the reclaimed wood flooring and installed an attractive tray ceiling. This elegant solution allowed us to add height and a contemporary style to the bedroom while hiding the ductwork. Then, in the bathroom, you’ll see geometric shapes and a black-and-white palette, creating a crisp, engaging, and clean look. The room’s stars are a marvelous tub and an attractive mid-century cabinet repurposed into a one-of-a-kind custom vanity.

Solutions

Two-Story Addition

A home addition opens the door to many possibilities. We crafted a 2-story addition that created the much-needed space to fulfill the client’s dreams.

Reclaimed Wood Flooring

Reclaimed wood flooring is the perfect remedy to deliver an antique look. We selected extra wide boards and aged them for months before sanding them individually.

Specialty Cabinets

Specialty cabinets address unique needs. We customized these kitchen cabinets to include a dedicated coffee station and a tap for the client to enjoy.

Unlacquered Brass Hardware

Unlacquered Brass Hardware (aka “live brass”) darkens and tarnishes over time to create an authentic old-age feel.

Custom Backsplash

We elegantly framed the sink with a soapstone backsplash cut in a unique pattern to give the kitchen a truly original design feature.

Tray Ceiling

Do you need to hide the ductwork? Tray ceilings are an elegant solution that accomplishes this task while adding a sleek contemporary style to your space.

Eclectic Design

By reclaiming antique items and combining them with newer pieces, we created an eclectic, creative, inviting design mix that respects the home’s history and fulfills the owners’ vision.

Quote

Working with them was a blast. They were precise and had a clear vision but were open to new ideas. We had plenty of room to be creative. In the end, they were thrilled with the finished product. They were terrific clients.

Why Feinmann for Design-Build?

Learn About Design-Build

We loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.

- Cambridge, MA

From start to finish of the project our ideas were heard and creatively addressed. The quality of the final results are even better than we imagined. Our home feels completely new and we love the improved living space! As far as the team, they are fantastic, personable, timely, has great ideas and always seem to stay calm and in charge, ready to problem solve. The carpenters are a delight to work with and the quality of their carpentry and building skills are impressive, always smiling and offering a “can do” attitude.

- Leveling Up for Grand Entertaining

Feinmann is a top-notch company in every category! We have worked with them on three separate occasions: a complete kitchen remodel (2017), three bathrooms (2016), and a room addition (2011). Working with the Feinmann team was truly a great pleasure! Everyone in the company is committed to quality work, the projects were run proficiently and professionally, they provided the highest quality workmanship, and we always received timely responses to our questions and concerns. My wife and I would consider no-one else for our new project!

- European, Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

We are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel. First of all, their design team truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined. Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive, managed well and the results have truly transformed our house. We’re extremely happy with the outcome.

- Hosting Haven Meets Artistic Angles

Feinmann took a real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs. That was when we knew that they were the best choice for us. Anyone can rip out a kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style, and function.
