Bungalow Metamorphosis
Location: Lexington
View Project
We transformed this charming bungalow in Lexington, MA, to better meet the needs of a growing family. Our clients, a Harvard alumnus, and their family wanted to create more functional spaces, especially for their three teenagers. The existing layout lacked a family room, and the flow was not ideal. We tackled these challenges with a whole-house remodel and a two-story garage addition. We started by converting the old garage into a sophisticated entertainment space. Drawing inspiration from a Chicago airport lounge, we designed a custom walnut bar with matching cabinetry and a marble insert behind the glassware shelving. The space ... read moreSerene Sunspace

This Newton, MA, family of four longed to stay in their beloved neighborhood. To fulfill this desire, they embarked on a renovation journey to transform this 1916 house into their forever home! The first goal of these homeowners was to upgrade their backyard oasis and foster a deeper connection between their home and its outdoor area.

In this Lexington colonial home, Feinmann reimagined the kitchen and family room. We created a connecting space featuring contemporary design, open sightlines, and magnificent functionality for cooking and entertaining. Challenges The original kitchen and family room had an abundance of challenges and issues. For instance, the kitchen layout felt cramped due to little cooking space. The area was small because the place was located awkwardly between the mudroom, powder room, and family room. In addition, the rooms did not connect well with each other or the backyard. The space lacked natural light and functional seating, and there was a corner ... read moreVictorian Beauty

Feinmann restored the exterior of an 1885 Victorian home that had deteriorated over the years in Arlington, Massachusetts. Between fixing and improving the front and back porch, Juliet Balconies, shingles, panels, and intricate design elements, we brought back the home’s original splendor. We first focused on restoring the front and back porches by repositioning the stairs, reinforcing the brick and wood support posts, installing pressure-treated framing and mahogany decking, and fixing its existing handrails and roof structure. Feinmann then shifted attention to the house’s design details by replacing all the balusters, posts, spindles, and corbels that give the outside its ... read moreEndless Summer

A family of three in Westwood, Massachusetts wanted a year-round entertainment haven that served as a connection from their main home to the pool area. The family also wanted this new space to make it feel like they were relaxing outside. As a result, we created the ultimate outdoor and indoor living experience by designing a 600 sq. ft. sunroom addition that naturally integrates with the architecture, aesthetic, and flow of the client’s home. Feinmann incorporated many great features in this sunroom. We first added a restaurant-quality indoor grill and range, ideal for a true grill master, that makes it ... read moreA Charming, Rustic Four-Season Room

Location: Wellesley
View Project
Feinmann created a beautiful and functional in-law suite for a families’ aging parents in Wellesley, MA. Generally speaking, most aging parents are moving from a larger space to a smaller space, and when downsizing, creating a sense of spaciousness is one of the most important elements besides functionality, accessibility, and comfort, all which were careful considerations as we worked together. A client since 1993, we gracefully integrated the in-law suite with the rest of the house by adding an additional 750 sq. ft of living space including a master bedroom, closets, bathroom, living area, study, and kitchen. The in-laws can ... read moreHosting Haven

Our client was looking to design a new kitchen that allowed for entertaining and gathering of friends and family. A few challenges included a cramped kitchen with limited prep and storage space, a cluttered dining room, and a bathroom and pantry that encroached on the kitchen (limiting the opportunities for expansion). In addition, they wanted to renovate the dilapidated sunroom while bringing in more light to the dining room and find a solution to the cluttered entry area. Inspired by the homeowners’ Japanese heritage, we designed a “Genkan” or entryway used for the removal and storage of shoes, a sitting ... read moreUnconventional Transformation
Location: Westwood

A Westwood family-owned an ill-defined Chateau-esque style house which was poorly laid out. The homeowners sought to make their house more attractive, more comfortable and more hospitable for themselves and for company. As things stood, they never entertained because their home felt too “clumsy” – especially the kitchen which, in a prime location, was cluttered and in need of updating. There was a wall dividing the kitchen and living room leaving the living room an awkward space, difficult to furnish and uncomfortable. The dining room had become an unofficial office and storage area. Additionally, there was a deck with sliding ... read moreA Room for All Seasons

Past clients of Feinmann Design/Build sought our design assistance on a project for their Belmont home they’d long been dreaming of: a comfortable outdoor space, creating a screened porch with heating elements to extend the seasons. Our team had renovated the kitchen, master bedroom, and master bath previously and was eager to begin work on establishing a place for our clients to gather with guests outdoors. Having easy access from the outdoor room to the hot tub was of critical importance. A cube design proved to be an innovative solution for the relatively small footprint of the home and yard ... read more
Sunroom & Porch Remodeling Gallery
- Cambridge, MAWe loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.
- Leveling Up for Grand EntertainingFrom start to finish of the project our ideas were heard and creatively addressed. The quality of the final results are even better than we imagined. Our home feels completely new and we love the improved living space! As far as the team, they are fantastic, personable, timely, has great ideas and always seem to stay calm and in charge, ready to problem solve. The carpenters are a delight to work with and the quality of their carpentry and building skills are impressive, always smiling and offering a “can do” attitude.
- European, Contemporary Kitchen RemodelFeinmann is a top-notch company in every category! We have worked with them on three separate occasions: a complete kitchen remodel (2017), three bathrooms (2016), and a room addition (2011). Working with the Feinmann team was truly a great pleasure! Everyone in the company is committed to quality work, the projects were run proficiently and professionally, they provided the highest quality workmanship, and we always received timely responses to our questions and concerns. My wife and I would consider no-one else for our new project!
- Hosting Haven Meets Artistic AnglesWe are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel. First of all, their design team truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined. Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive, managed well and the results have truly transformed our house. We’re extremely happy with the outcome.
- White, Waves and Blue KitchenFeinmann took a real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs. That was when we knew that they were the best choice for us. Anyone can rip out a kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style, and function.
