Design Services for Provincetown Homeowners
Provincetown is unlike anywhere else we work, and its kitchens and baths reflect that. Lots are narrow, houses sit close together, and a large share of the housing stock is historic, subdivided, or both. We design for East End and West End houses along Commercial Street, for Bradford Street properties, and for the many condominium units carved out of nineteenth-century half-houses and Cape cottages.
Two constraints shape almost every Provincetown design. The first is space: galley kitchens six or seven feet wide, baths under forty square feet, and stairs too tight to carry a standard vanity up in one piece. The second is access. Commercial Street parking, one-way traffic, seasonal restrictions, and doorways off narrow side yards mean the delivery plan is part of the design plan. We specify cabinet widths and knock-down configurations that can physically reach the room they belong in.
Much of Provincetown falls within a designated historic district, so exterior changes are reviewed. Interior kitchen and bath work generally is not, but window and door changes are, and that distinction affects scheduling. We flag it early. Vern Hatt is a Massachusetts licensed and insured contractor, Construction Supervisor License #CS62739 and Home Improvement Contractor License #177590, and handles the design work himself.
