Professors Row
Professors Row
In the Professor’s Row Project, the kitchen and master suite renovation transforms a rambling Cambridge shingle-style home into a modern gallery for artwork, artifacts, scholarly pursuits and family gatherings. The kitchen was gutted, ceiling lifted, and exterior wall opened up to the garden. A combination of high gloss cabinets, custom plywood and raw steel shelves and a concrete counter top gives the kitchen a modern but crafted feel. The exposed joinery of the shelving and cabinet enclosures reveal the hand of the carpenter and provide a wonderful setting for the collection of African bowls and primitive artwork that the owners display.
A master suite was created in an area of the second floor that was a rabbits’ warren of small rooms and closets. The bedroom and sitting area was connected by a dressing gallery to a clean new master bathroom with wood enclosed tub bathed in sun from the skylight above.
What did the Homeowners say?
“Aamodt/Plumb did excellent design and oversight work in a major remodeling and renovation of our home. The project was very complex, given the rather oddly eclectic nature of the property, which had been built on to in rather awkward ways over several decades. The design ideas produced by the principles were uniformly excellent, and typically innovative, unexpected, and interesting — producing an impressive overall aesthetic effect. They also ensured that our relationship with contractors, structural engineers, and other relevant parties was productive and congenial, and were exceptionally helpful in guiding us through the elaborate tasks of choosing materials, appliances, and the like. Problems that arose along the way were efficiently and considerately dealt with. Our son is himself an architect with very exacting standards. He recommended Aamodt / Plumb to us. We are very glad that he did.” -John & Jean, Homeowners
