Shingle Style Country Home

MMA, Inc created an instant classic with this shingle style home located south of Boston. Existing on this ten acre lot was an old brick Georgian that satisfied the lifestyle of yesterday. This new home was created to satisfy the needs of a growing family and to take advantage of this spectacular site, consisting of a rolling landscape complete with a private pond.

It was readily apparent that any room without a view would be at a disadvantage. Project designer Greg Graham was able to grant nearly every room a beautiful view by using the circulation spine as a buffer from the front of the house and the drive court. This positioned most rooms facing the rolling landscape. The added benefit of this feature was the quality of natural light gathered along the circulation path.

Taking cues from the natural landscape the house gracefully flows down the hill toward the pond, allowing for an extensive walk out basement.

The interior spaces boast 10’-0” ceilings and are organized by painted mouldings that flow from one space to another. The Kitchen and Great Room were created to have an open plan, which exemplifies the modern living style of the client. Painted trim throughout is contrasted by wide plank walnut floors.
