This remodel of a mid century gem is located in the town of Lincoln, MA a hot bed of modernist homes inspired by Gropius’ own house built nearby in the 1940’s. By the time the house was built, modernism had evolved from the Gropius era, to incorporate the rural vibe of Lincoln with spectacular exposed painted wood beams and deep overhangs. The design rejects the traditional New England house with its enclosing wall and inward posture. The low pitched roofs, open floor plan, and large windows openings connect the house to nature to make the most of its rural setting. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

Scrounged doors repurposed & re-glued slide completely out of sight to co-opt a little used public path as a living space. Real materials with real feel include recycled floorboards, demolition yard posts & scrounged jetty timbers from nearby. Bamboo blinds from a supermarket were cut & regaled on site for a tropical feel with practical ventilation effect. An upturned cast iron bath awaits re-use - that was interesting to get across the bay. Water access only. All photographs Brett Boardman
