Designing for Comfort and Light
A cramped ‘60s colonial opens up with French doors, more windows, and wider passageways

The Pratt family wanted their dark, cramped colonial to be transformed into a light-filled, open home. They longed for a home with character, comfort and a casual feel. Architect Jennifer Huestis transformed their home with more space, more light, less formality, and rooms that were separate and connected at the same time. The result is a year-round home that feels like a vacation house.
