Provincetown Renovation

This 1,200 square-foot Provincetown condominium lives large, both functionally and aesthetically. The waterfront home, overlooking Cape Cod Bay, is part of an historic grouping of three individual buildings on Commercial Street that have been combined into condominiums.

Completed just in time for summer 2016, b Architecture Studios and Cape Associates Builders worked together to transform this prosaic dwelling into a stunning light-flooded space—designed to maximize both the living space and the mesmerizing views of the bay.

One of the most prominent changes was moving the stairway from its original placement, where it originally broke up the living and dining space and blocked views to the bay beyond. The stairway now sits on the opposite side of the condominium. With the stairs tucked to the left side of the living area, the sightline now extends from the entry straight through the living and dining areas to the water. The new design allowed for storage space beneath the stairs, which lead to an airy sleeping loft, and room for a desk niche.

Innovative features in the entry room include a Murphy bed and sliding glass door separating it from the living area, so that the space can double as a guest room.
