WELLESLEY BABSON RESIDENCE
SILVER WINNER PRISM AWARDS
Best Kitchen Remodel Over $200,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This house, designed in 1918 by Boston Architect Benjamin Proctor for Roger W. Babson, founder of Babson College in Wellesley, has a solid Georgian Colonial Revival aesthetic. The client asked Design Associates Inc. to create a functional, open-feeling 21st-century kitchen with casual living and dining space and a modern mudroom entry in a spirit respectful of the home’s historical relevance.
Design Associates rearranged interiors to create a kitchen and a supper room and added a functional new mudroom. Materials and finishes, such as the painted cabinet bodies and the wood countertops, were adapted from 1918 designs to meet today’s needs.
The updates carefully reference and enhance this early 20th-century gem.
