Wainscot Greatroom
Acton, MA

An irregular volume is clarified by a crisp new cherry wainscot manipulated to accommodate adjacencies at the room’s perimeter, including a balcony and library alcove, an entry foyer, built-in kitchen cabinetry and the guardrail for the stair beyond.

This project turned the existing kitchen inside-out, reshaping an expansive great room around a 12 foot island.  Comprehensive design services included specification of materials, finishes, colors and soft goods.

Designed by DSA principal Tim Hess, as Design Director at Platt Builders.
Carpet and paintings by owners.
