Bangs Young (1756-1804) inherited the original home from his father, Asa Young (1788-1802). Bangs moved the entire home roughly 100 yards to the street (Rt 6A) where it stands today. Secret Spaces One of the home’s most interesting features is a staircase whose bottom stairs pull out to reveal a hiding space. A 2001 Cape Cod Times article claims that the home was likely a safe house used to hide slaves traveling the underground railroad to Canada. There is also a false door in one of the second-floor bedrooms. Link to Newspaper Article https://www. capecodtimes. com/story/news/2001/02/25/ties-to-freedom/51003491007 Termite Damage When purchasing the home, the current homeowners discovered a termite infestation had destroyed much of the home’s support structure and flooring. Homeowners hired Longfellow Design Build to re-design and replace the addition based on our experience working with older Cape Cod homes—termite damage required replacing all wall sills and installing new flooring to match the original fir plank flooring. The renovation included demolishing the existing addition and building a new addition on a full foundation. The kitchen and bathrooms included tile, cabinets, counters, and fixtures. We replaced the home’s siding and roof to match the original house. Engineering Challenges The original house was out of level by 4″ from end to end, and the first-floor deck did not align with an existing deck,... --- - Published: 2020-04-15 - Modified: 2024-11-30 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/photos/ Project PhotosCustom HomesKitchen DesignBathroom DesignOutdoor LivingCustom CabinetryBars & Wine Cellars --- - Published: 2020-04-14 - Modified: 2024-11-19 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/awards/ Awards & AccoladesLongfellow Design Build is honored to be recognized by the region’s top professional organizations.

Cape Cod home builder and architect, remodels, renovations, kitchen and bath design specialists - Published: 2013-09-23 - Modified: 2013-09-23 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/history/ The Longfellow StoryIn the Beginning In the early 1990s, Barry Bogosian bought an old farm and developed a few homes in Auburn, Massachusetts, including his own. His son Mark helped him work on these projects and kickstarted the boy's lifelong passion for architecture and design. "Through that experience working with my dad, I discovered that I loved everything about home construction," says Bogosian. "I started doing small projects in my neighborhood: painting houses, carpentry, and building decks. I realized there was an opportunity for someone who worked hard and produced quality work at a fair price. " In the years that followed, Bogosian became an advocate of the design-build approach to construction: where a team of dedicated professionals works with the homeowner from preliminary planning stages all the way through to project completion. "If architects, designers, and builders work alongside each other day after day, they develop relationships that result in a higher level of communication and efficiency that is not possible when the Architect and Builder are separate. " Laying the Foundation In 2012, just two short years after graduating from Boston College, Bogosian founded Longfellow Design Build, naming the firm after the street he and his father worked on their very first project. Bogosian built Longfellow around the very same design-build principle he came to favor at a young age. Longfellow's business model is unique because much of the design and construction process is completed by in-house staff.

Our design-build philosophy has worked wonders for clients. - Published: 2013-08-08 - Modified: 2013-08-08 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/design-build/ What is Design Build? Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors, and construction companies all under one roof. These firms focus on a streamlined process, from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction, creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, design-build firms are able to overlap the different phases of a given project, often expediting the completion of construction significantly. The design-build approach relies on a single point of responsibility in order to minimize cost and time to delivery while boosting collaboration, creativity, and quality by allowing the designers and builders to freely and openly communicate during the entirety of the project. Longfellow Design-Build provides a one-stop, collaborative service by utilizing our talented in-house design staff, master tradesmen, and a network of carefully chosen professionals with whom we have worked consistently for many years and on hundreds of projects. The Longfellow team includes Customer Service & Project Managers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Architects, Engineers, Master Carpenters, Plumbers and Electricians, and our Materials and Finishing Experts. Our proven track record and reputation are as solid as the homes we build. The design-build philosophy bridges the gaps between clients, designers, and builders and ultimately yields a higher value for homeowners. --- > Award-Winning Home Additions & Remodels for New England homeowners from New Hampshire to Cape Cod and everywhere in-between. - Published: 2013-08-08 - Modified: 2024-12-29 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/additions/ New kitchen & bathroom design.

Bangs Young (1756-1804) inherited the original home from his father, Asa Young (1788-1802). Bangs moved the entire home roughly 100 yards to the street (Rt 6A) where it stands today. Secret Spaces One of the home's most interesting features is a staircase whose bottom stairs pull out to reveal a hiding space. A 2001 Cape Cod Times article claims that the home was likely a safe house used to hide slaves traveling the underground railroad to Canada. There is also a false door in one of the second-floor bedrooms. Link to Newspaper Article https://www. capecodtimes. com/story/news/2001/02/25/ties-to-freedom/51003491007 Termite Damage When purchasing the home, the current homeowners discovered a termite infestation had destroyed much of the home's support structure and flooring. Homeowners hired Longfellow Design Build to re-design and replace the addition based on our experience working with older Cape Cod homes—termite damage required replacing all wall sills and installing new flooring to match the original fir plank flooring. The renovation included demolishing the existing addition and building a new addition on a full foundation. The kitchen and bathrooms included tile, cabinets, counters, and fixtures. We replaced the home's siding and roof to match the original house. Engineering Challenges The original house was out of level by 4" from end to end, and the first-floor deck did not align with an existing deck, requiring Longfellow's structural engineer to specify... --- - Published: 2024-11-18 - Modified: 2024-11-19 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/longfellow-wins-six-prism-awards/ - Categories: Articles NOV 2024–Longfellow Design Build won the following six PRISM awards from BRAGB, the Boston Remodelers and Builders Association, at their annual awards presentation at the Museum of Science in Boston.

Working with a design-build firm that employs architects, designers, and engineers can be the key to unlocking a truly exceptional home that combines creativity and structural integrity. The Hero of Home Design While architects are visionaries, bringing forth designs that reflect a homeowner’s aesthetic dreams, engineers are the unsung heroes who ensure those dreams stand the test of time. In a design-build firm such as Longfellow Design Build, which integrates architects and engineers, the collaborative synergy between these experts can transform a creative concept into a stunning, fully realized reality. The architectural team may have the creative skills to imagine an open floor plan, expansive glass walls, or balconies that extend toward breathtaking coastal views. However, the engineers figure out how to bring these visions to life while ensuring safety, efficiency, and adherence to building codes. Enhancing Architectural Creativity One of the most significant advantages of having engineers on staff is the expanded range of design possibilities. Architects are not limited by the fear of whether their ideas can be safely and practically constructed because they have immediate access to experts who can assess structural feasibility. Here’s how having engineers on staff enhances creativity: Designing Unique Features with Confidence Imagine including a dramatic double-height window wall that overlooks the Cape Cod... --- > A Modern Rustic NH Home - Published: 2024-10-07 - Modified: 2024-11-18 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/modern-rustic-ski-home/ - Categories: All, Featured Homes OCT 2024 – The underlying theme in this home's overall design is the balance of modern and rustic features, which creates a home that feels equally sophisticated and casual. This balance of contemporary and rustic elements is carried through each phase of the project, from the architectural design to the selection of materials and finishes to the interior design elements, themes, and artwork. The primary color throughout the home is eucalyptus green, balanced with natural wood and rust-colored details (e. g. , couch, island chairs), all grounded with black countertops, hardware, and window trim, providing a cool and peaceful ambiance. Bright flecks of color are then sparsely introduced—e. g. , the gold inside the pendant lights and the artwork framed by the credenza. Eucalyptus green is also cleverly reflected in some interior design selections, such as a bowl mixer and the Dutch oven on the stove. The Great Room Double Gable Cathedral Ceiling–The great room was initially designed to have a single gable peak. The homeowner requested that the plans be revised to have a double peak with the fireplace centered. Geometric rectangle and triangle-shaped windows were carefully planned to provide a sweeping panoramic view of the forest. Great care was taken in the design to ensure that all the angles and negative space were balanced throughout the room, including the staircase lines. To support this design, the main structural beam was placed front to back, with the accent beam placed side-to-side. Red cedar wood accents and the stone fireplace... --- > Cotuit Bay Pool House - Published: 2024-10-06 - Modified: 2024-11-19 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/cotuit-bay-pool-house/ - Categories: All, Featured Homes October 2024 - When the adjacent property to their generational Cape Cod estate became available, this homeowner seized the opportunity and purchased the 2-acre/4,065 sqft home overlooking Cotuit Bay. The existing home on the property needed costly repairs. They hired Longfellow Design Build to demo the house and build an outdoor living area. To avoid a lengthy and uncertain permitting process, we recommended the new outdoor living area be built on the same footprint as the home currently on the property. Architectural Design Homeowners wanted a space they could enjoy throughout the day without returning to the main house. Our intention for this design was to create a versatile space that offers a variety of distinct spaces and experiences while also providing a cohesive outdoor living space. Longfellow developed a patio, pool, and poolhouse design that provides a variety of distinct activity areas to accommodate various moods and modes of enjoying the spectacular property. Activity areas include: - Canopy building with a hip roof for sun protection while relaxing by the pool with a lounge chair and a beverage - Round Marino glass gas firepit area surrounded by Adirondack chairs for chilly evening discussion - Pavilion sitting area with outdoor furniture, marine-grade speakers, and a 65" Samsung Terrace outdoor TV - Outdoor cooking area near the pool house take-out bar with barstool seating to serve lunch to the kids - Infinity pool centerpiece with built-in seating and a waterfall over foundation stones where the water's edge lines up with the... --- > Building in a Flood Zone - Published: 2024-10-01 - Modified: 2024-11-19 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/building-flood-zone-falmouth/ - Categories: All, Articles This project was a complete teardown/rebuild located directly across from Falmouth’s Surf Drive Beach and facing Vineyard Sound. With its many balconies and large windows, each room provides unobstructed sight-lines with breathtaking views of Martha’s Vineyard and nearby Nobska Light. Surf Drive is within a designated FEMA Flood Hazard area, which is at a high risk of damaging winds and flooding due to storm surge. To reduce flood insurance costs, this homeowner opted for a raised pier and beam foundation common for homes built in areas prone to earthquakes or hurricane-strength winds. A pier and beam foundation features concrete piers set deep into the ground. A pier and beam foundation does not rest directly on the ground. Instead, it is elevated about 18” above, with utility units for plumbing and electricity installed in this crawlspace. Building a home with direct exposure to the open ocean requires the use of materials that tolerate or repel the corrosive effects of saltwater, salt air, gusts of wind, harsh UV rays and a persistent moist environment that quickly breaks down many typical building materials causing mold, corrosion, and decay. For this home, we used double-coated, pre-stained shingles which offer UV protection, are water repellant and mildew resistant. Additional material choices for this home included vinyl windows and composite decking. We also used a new structural “zip” wall panel system that provides a built-in energy-efficient barrier to keep moisture out by reducing air leakage that can cause moisture damage. These green-colored wall panels create a... --- > Cotuit Estate Kitchen Renovation - Published: 2024-10-01 - Modified: 2024-11-19 - URL: https://longfellowdb.com/cotuit-kitchen-renovation/ - Categories: All, Featured Homes This kitchen remodel represents the first phase in the updating of a 21 room, 1930's estate overlooking Cotuit Bay. Like so many Cape Cod properties, this home has been enjoyed as a summer weekend retreat for generations, with no significant renovation or remodeling done since the early 1970s. This kitchen remodel represents the first phase in updating a 21-room 1930s Cape Cod estate overlooking Cotuit Bay. Given the COVID situation that developed in the spring of 2020, the current owner, a Greater Boston couple, anticipates spending more time living at the Cotuit home with their 9-year-old daughter. The renovated space includes a full kitchen, pantry, and laundry area. The kitchen features a breakfast nook with custom built-in banquette seating and a custom china cabinet, a hammered zinc prep sink set into a 3" walnut butcher block prep station, and a 3" thick marble countertop. Project Highlights The cabinetry is custom, with a maple door, full-extension dovetail, soft-close drawers, and a Summerfield drawer style.
