GMT Home Designs in collaboration with Encore Construction designed this playful summer vacation house located in Dennisport, a village in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Bold and colorful accents set a bright and breezy tone for this humble beach style abode designed to accommodate a large amount of family and friends.
The homeowners requested a whimsical, calming and upbeat house that is not only beautiful but functional. Turquoise and white set the palette for the main living space, an airy expanse of kitchen, dining and living area. The walls are paneled in true white beadboard, accented by doors painted a custom color described as “The Tiffany box blue.”
What We Love: This charming summer vacation house is brimming with inspiring and playful details. An uplifting color palette of crisp whites and pops of turquoise adds a playful beach vibe. Comfortable living spaces welcome family and friends to gather together and enjoy great conversation and relaxation.
