The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston (BRAGB) held its highly acclaimed PRISM awards ceremony and presented Feinmann, Inc. with Gold and Silver awards. The prestigious event, held this year at the Boston Museum of Science, recognizes the finest projects and outstanding achievements of home building professionals.
Feinmann, Inc., a design-build company and longtime contributor to the advancement of the design-build profession, was presented with a Gold Award in the category of Best Kitchen Remodel Over $300,000 and a Silver Award in the category of Best Bathroom Remodel over $150,000.“We are proud of the team and client collaboration that made these projects successful, and we are delighted that a national panel of distinguished industry professionals recognized our work in this manner,” notes Peter Feinmann.
Gold Award Winner, “Antique Charm Meets Modern Lifestyle,” is a kitchen redesign and expansion in a 200-year-old home located in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Early in the project it was discovered that the rear section of the house had no foundation. Feinmann, Inc. worked through this unforeseen challenge by designing a two-story addition which replaced the entire back of the house. The lower level of the addition now accommodates a bright, spacious kitchen while the upper level is a luxurious, second-story bedroom suite.The kitchen, informed by an old-world aesthetic, has many eye-catching features that blend antique charm with modern living. Hand-sanded reclaimed wood flooring, an expansive marble island, soapstone perimeter countertops, windowed French-style doors, a wrought iron fire back, and a traditional range from Italy contribute significantly to this ambience.
Silver Award Winner, “Soaking Up the View,” is the transformation of a cookie-cutter, new construction home whereby the primary bathroom was redesigned to create a luxurious haven, infused with artistic details, improved lighting, a more cohesive floor plan, and a spectacular view of Boston. Typical in many homes, the owners had the square footage and the potential for more light, yet the house was not designed to harmonize with the movement and flow of natural sunlight. In this artful collaboration, Feinmann listened to the clients’ vision and renovated the primary bathroom by opening the space and softening corners to achieve a seamless flow. A captivating vanity wall sets the tone and creates an elegant ambience, complemented with a freestanding, grand soaking tub. The result is a spa-like sanctuary that accentuates the skyline view.
