LDa Architecture & Interiors has designed this New England seaside retreat located in Barnstable, a community on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The architects had previously renovated the owner’s primary residence and were brought to create their family getaway home on the Cape.
Positioned on a magnificent piece of property with sweeping views over the Black Bank Channel and Cape Cod Bay, this dwelling was created to capture the water views from the backyard while melding into the neighborhood’s more traditional housing stock on the street-facing side.

On the main level, the home was designed for easy gatherings or quiet contemplation, a circular sunroom provides a quiet area to watch TV or read, while the open plan family room, dining room, kitchen, and porch celebrate the home’s waterfront location.
Finishes and materials were selected to be practical, playful, and classically New England beach town style. Classic gambrel roof forms, generous use of shiplap, and traditional detailing are balanced with more contemporary built-ins, furniture, lighting, and fabrics. This beach house is the perfect retreat for a busy family looking to leave the city and relax.
What We Love: This New England seaside retreat provides a family with a relaxing haven to build lasting summer memories. This home was designed to encourage outdoor living with its fabulous pool and expansive deck with waterside views. The traditional Cape Cod architectural style of the exterior facade is stunning, inviting guests inside to see the most charming living spaces. We are loving every detail, from the beautiful kitchen to the cozy sunroom.

The kitchen opens to the pool area with a set of large folding windows and outdoor bar seating, the perfect place for summer entertaining.
Bedrooms are housed on the second level, with the primary suite overlooking the backyard and ocean view. The kids share a bunk-house-style bedroom with stacked twin beds, and a large, shared bath.
The large pool deck connects the main house to a poolside lounge, the back yard, and the guest suite located above the garage.
