Making Cape Cod Modern

DOXworks designed a modern waterfront home in Orleans, MA, tailored for an active family. The project merges local values with the client’s desire to embrace the stunning surroundings.

The home offers breathtaking views of Little Pleasant Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Coastal regulations were rigorously evaluated ensuring the house was ideally sited to maximize views while protecting the fragile ecosystem.

This approach highlights DOXworks’ commitment to sustainable architecture. The design leverages reclaimed materials, passive ventilation, and natural light to focus on healthy living and minimize the environmental impact. The home’s modest exterior reflects the neighborhood’s values, while the modern 4-bedroom interior features a fluid plan suited for a dynamic lifestyle. The kitchen, central to the design, is crafted for versatility and warmth. This home showcases DOXworks’ dedication to innovation and sustainability. It is a model of modern living, harmonizing with Cape Cod’s historical and environmental fabric, honoring the past while safeguarding the future.
