BACKYARD OASIS
This Somerville gem came together with a rear addition to make room for a light-filled kitchen. 
Careful consideration made this addition feel gracious and flow together. The sloping site meant that the addition opened up space below for the perfect mudroom, a deck that flows seamlessly from kitchen down to the backyard, overlooking a new plunge pool for tons of summer fun.
We tied the newly open space of the living room and new bar together by extending the existing coffered ceiling detail one more bay and repeating it with a tray ceiling over the bar. A curved wall at the pantry, echoed by the custom farmhouse table for the breakfast corner, enhances the flow.
The whole space feels warm and welcoming, just like sitting by the new fireplace.
From the outset, Damon and his team made me feel comfortable and heard. I am so happy with the result, and recommend Mix without reservation to anyone looking for imaginative, thoughtful collaborators with a deep knowledge of design, a huge array of contacts in the building trades and a high degree of responsiveness.
