As is often the case with Feinmann’s clients, this Newton family commissioned us to assist them multiple times over the years on various projects. We collaborated with them on the renovation of their kitchen, attic and master bathroom.
We were first asked to create a kitchen befitting this turn-of-the-century home, one which would allow the family to cook and entertain more stylishly. The existing home, like so many of this era, was a warren of small, dark, cramped rooms. The design scheme includes an addition which transforms the existing kitchen and nearby servant’s quarters into a light-filled and highly usable space.
The new kitchen, which is approximately 450 square feet, looks and feels like one large area despite the fact that it contains two distinct zones: one for cooking, clean-up and casual meals; one for dining and entertaining. A built-in display wall visually divides – but doesn’t block off – the long, narrow kitchen from the breakfast room. In the breakfast room itself, a cozy window seat bathed in natural light allows it to double as a conversation and sitting area.
Most recently, Feinmann was asked to design a new master bathroom. The design solution involved the use of superb finish carpentry and custom cabinetry to define a separate sink room, corridor to the master closet and a separate toilet room with a walk-in shower. A consistent use of detailing in the cabinetry and millwork and a palette of warm tones unify the spaces while maintaining privacy.

I was mentioning to a friend who is also having a kitchen redone that I was away and came back to a beautiful kitchen. He was amazed that I could feel comfortable about going away on vacation while work was going on. Guess they don’t have the quality of Feinmann!

Learn About Design-Build- 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.
