annisquam gold house
This modest house was at one time a lobster shack for storage of equipment, and is situated on
the waterfront in Gloucester. Although charming, the original house was cramped, with a kitchen
wing that was sinking into the ground due to lack of a foundation.
The project consisted of creating a new kitchen, shower room, bathroom, a new bedroom as
well as a gut-rehab of the remaining house. The extremely challenging site allowed very little
expansion area as well as conservation commission coastal mitigation standards that needed to
be satisfied. A full presentation to the local ZBA was also performed. The final house exhibits
the quality of a structure that has been carefully added to over time, without losing it’s initial
‘lobster-ness’.
