This modest two-family house in cambridgeport was transformed to support a family of five while maintaining a small studio apartment as a rental. The design features a large first floor living space and a new kitchen. The kitchen utilizes a pair of sliding glass doors and large stadium-style steps to create easy, comfortable access to the yard. Upstairs, a large playroom creates ample space for games, playtime and reading. The third floor has a master suite, including study and roof-deck.
