We introduced deep navy cabinetry and sophisticated gold accents in the mudroom, along with a classic yet contemporary wallpaper in the powder room.

Feinmann transformed this beautiful and almost 200-year-old home in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The client was a detail-oriented couple with a distinct taste and passion for design. Since they were open to new ideas, the possibilities and creativity were endless. Solutions, suggestions, and inspirations flew back and forth from start to finish, creating a truly unforgettable project. The primary goal was to expand the kitchen. However, we couldn’t renovate this room because it was part of the rear section of the home that had no foundation. To work around this limitation and Boston’s strict zoning guidelines, we replaced the back of their ... read moreReimagined Roots

As a family grows, their home must grow with them. Feinmann thoughtfully reimagined a 1750-square-foot semi-finished basement to meet the entire family’s needs. The result was a unique combination of living spaces that leveraged a striking balance of modern and rustic charm. We first built a beautiful living space for the daughter, a thriving teacher, and an empty-nester. Her goals were downsizing, being closer to her parents, and caring for them. This space features an open, airy kitchen and living room with clean finishes and bright colors. It also includes an easy-access walk-in food pantry and a bedroom and bathroom ... read moreBlue Haven

The most recent addition was a rusticated sunroom abutting the backyard pool area. The rooms were stacked up like boxes, one behind the other. The goal was to create a floor plan that graciously created a natural flow between the spaces including an enlarged kitchen, eating area and family room. To do so, the Feinmann design team removed the wall between the existing kitchen and family room; and the wall between the ... read moreMid-Course Correction

A couple who had recently purchased a 1960s Colonial in Boston came to Feinmann looking to renovate the kitchen, open up the space, and improve the first floor layout and circulation. The traditional center-hall Colonial floor plan meant there were walls dividing every room, with an intrusively located powder room opposite the entry, making the passageways feel dark and narrow. At the rear of the house was a beautiful deck/pergola looking onto an intimate backyard. If the powder room could be relocated the whole back of the house could be liberated from its poorly apportioned spaces, thus making the house ... read moreUnconventional Transformation

The extended porch element is the most striking feature of the exterior, enforcing the old-world charm of the house. The concept was to wrap the porch around the house, pushing out the existing walls to create an enclosed living area within the extended porch ... read more
Whole House
- 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.
