Whole-Home Remodel with (2) Additions in Westwood, MA

2025-09-05T14:39:19-04:00

Introducing Our Latest Whole-Home Remodel & Additions in Westwood, MA We’re excited to share a look at one of our latest projects: a whole-home remodel in Westwood, MA that includes not one, but two additions. Like many families, our clients love their neighborhood and community, but their split-level home was no longer functioning for their growing family of six. Together, through our design-build process, we reimagined their home to create more space, better flow, and modern updates throughout. The larger addition is a brand-new primary suite addition built on top of the home (above the main door and bay window in photo above). This spacious retreat includes a luxurious bathroom and two generous walk-in closets, offering privacy and comfort for the homeowners. The second addition, a single room off the rear of the main level (to replace deck in photo below), creates space for a new

How We Transformed a Formal Dining Room into a Dream Kitchen

2025-05-08T13:58:08-04:00

How We Transformed a Formal Dining Room into a Dream Kitchen What started as a confined kitchen — limited to one section at the back of the house — and an underused formal dining room is now a bright, open, and intentionally designed space that connects seamlessly with the rest of the home — and with nature just outside the windows. Our clients were ready to rethink how their first floor worked. The existing kitchen was isolated from the main living spaces, and the formal dining room — though large — rarely saw any use. Meanwhile, their beautiful backyard, filled with birds and wildlife, was barely visible from the main living areas. The solution: open it all up. 📸 Before & After: Kitchen We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room, allowing us to create a new layout centered around a large working island. The

This Kitchen Layout Wasn’t Working — Here’s How We’re Fixing It

2025-05-08T12:56:52-04:00

Goodbye Formal Dining Room, Hello Light-Filled Kitchen We're opening walls, rethinking flow, and designing with nature in mind. Rendering We’re excited to kick off a kitchen renovation that’s going to bring warmth, light, and purpose back into this home — and we’re sharing the plan before the first cabinet comes off the wall. Saying Goodbye to the Formal Dining Room One of the biggest changes in this remodel? We’ll be removing the wall between the existing kitchen and the formal dining room — an underutilized space the homeowners were more than happy to trade for a larger, more functional kitchen. We’ll also be expanding the opening between the former dining room and the front sitting room, allowing for a more natural flow from space to space. The goal is to create a comfortable layout that feels intentional, open, and better aligned with how this family uses their home.

This Kitchen renovation was almost bigger than it needed to be

2024-10-02T11:02:54-04:00

We took a hard left from the original plan... We were hired to design and build a single story kitchen addition off the back of New England Colonial. Shortly after he got started on the design process, J.P. Hoffman Design Build Owner, CEO and Lead Designer Jason Hoffman pumped the brakes. He quickly realized that an addition was probably unnecessary when there was existing space on the 1st floor not being utilized to it's potential. That sounds like a house pep talk but it's true. In design conversations with our clients, he agreed that yes, the current galley style kitchen was not working for their family of 5 and growing teenagers who like to have friends over and hang out in the kitchen (smart kids). He also recognized that the formal dining room (being used as a playroom and home gym) would make the ideal new home of the

Swapping Floor Plans – Kitchen & Dining Room

2023-05-04T09:53:10-04:00

“Wait, show me that again” said our photographer Lara when I showed her the before photo of the entry way of our latest project. She, and many others who see this transformation, are in disbelief about the floor plan modifications we made to this Greater Boston home in Stoughton, MA. The Kitchen Island has replaced the Peloton Bike that used to be in the same space. See how we swapped the kitchen and dining room.  Our Client's Backstory and Floor Plan Dilemma  Built in the mid-1990’s by our client’s family, this colonial was now home to the 3rd generation. The original kitchen was built by our client’s father and had seen years of family meals and holiday entertainment. Our clients called us because the space and flow was no longer working for their family of five. The galley kitchen off the back of

Classic Cohasset Kitchen Renovation

2022-05-26T14:28:54-04:00

See how this outdated Shore Shore home completely transformed into a classic, New England home, fit for the coastal, Massachusetts town of Cohasset. Our team designed and remodeled this tired and poorly laid out, stand-alone home, to a classic, modern, coastal retreat, for a wonderful couple. We are proud of this whole-home renovation. More of which can be seen in our portfolio here. This post highlights the kitchen and neighboring spaces: powder room, dining room and living room. As with all projects, once we've been hired, a design contract has been signed, and retainer collected, we get to work on the Design and Scope Development phase. We carefully measure each room and input the data into our design software. Through previous conversations, Jason notes pain points, wish list items, architectural details and future possibilities, as well as building code allowances. We're able to produce 3D renderings, sharing with our clients,

Kitchen & 1st Floor Remodel – Westwood –

2022-01-13T14:15:04-05:00

Part of a larger, whole home renovation in Westwood, this post highlights the final, first floor renovation including: kitchen, dining room and play room remodels. See progress blog posts here and here. A typical Cape style home, this house was built in 1954. Our clients purchased the home and hired us right away to re-imagine the space suitable for a growing family. In an effort to open up the floor plan, we relocated the existing downstairs bathroom, to the newly added mudroom space (more on that in a different post). This opened up the floor plan, connecting the kitchen to the 2 rooms on the 1st floor. One to be used as an office and the other, a play room. We also removed part of the wall separating the kitchen and dining room, allowing natural light to flood in from the dining room, to an otherwise, dark kitchen. We also added

Recently, one of our kitchen projects was selected as a highlight photo for an article written on Houzz.com. We are honored it was featured on such an important topic - COUNTERTOPS! In the article, titled "What Kitchen Countertop Color Should You Choose?" the author (and Principal Designer) Yanic Simard of Toronto Interior Design Group brings readers through a variety of considerations and color options when selecting a kitchen countertop. There are literally hundreds of options when it comes to countertops. Most options filter into a few main categories like: marble, granite, quartz or wood. Yanic breaks down of few popular options ranging from pure white with crisp and modern lines, to the warm tones of a wood top or a butcher block option. In addition to kitchen surfaces, the same principles apply with bathrooms or other spaces. The photo highlighted in the article is from our South Shore Kitchen

Video Tour, Before and After Kitchen and 1st Floor Renovation

2020-08-28T16:56:48-04:00

Are you a visual person? Take a virtual tour with us as we documented the major milestones of this kitchen and 1st floor renovation project in West Bridgewater. We took a dark and "small" kitchen as the homeowners thought, and expanded the space to include their dream island and a custom breakfast nook. We even relocated a bathroom/laundry room to gain additional square footage. In the process, we added a closet next to the mudroom. We walk through each phase of the renovation - driven by the 5 design goals our team committed to achieving. We've included some design renderings as well as the before photos and video of these spaces. Plus some progress updates with an overview from our Owner and lead project designer and carpenter, Jason Hoffman. We even take you into our workshop as Jason created the custom breakfast nook benches. The photos, snapped by Tamara Flanagan
