“Good design doesn’t merely engage our senses, it urges us to dream again.”
“My family and I absolutely love our home built by Martin Cafasso. There are two things that are really special about our Cafasso home: Cafasso uses top-of-the-line materials (our home inspector and our energy auditor could not stop praising the construction of the house) and he has an artist’s vision when it comes to designing space. Every room has been carefully thought out in terms of window placement, ceiling height, flow, and functionality. Unlike many homes that we have seen in the area, this one is both beautiful and it works! We are very, very happy in it.” — Emily , Owner
Our work begins by listening. Every home, each site and all neighborhoods have a story to tell. They speak to us in a cacophony of styles and historical contexts. And they confide in us their aspirations and conceits. We see it as our first mission to distill these many threaded narratives into their essential elements of scale and volume, of prospect and refuge, of color and of light. Only then may we begin to assemble a site specific, forward thinking design that both compliments and elevates its environment.

We are a dedicated Collaborative of like minded Architects, Designers, Artisans and Craftsmen assembled from virtually every discipline of the Decorative and Building Arts.

Cascading through the center of your life
In New England with our long, dark winters, it is essential to introduce as much light and volume as possible to our homes. As the dreary months linger on, we grow ever more claustrophobic and lethargic in the very private sanctuary where we should feel most soothed and rejuvenated. The multi-tiered open staircase evokes all that is most nurturing in nature and creates a sort of reinvigorating microenvironment in the middle of your home.

We at CDG are committed to be responsible stewards of our world’s resources. To us, this means things like continually seeking out and adopting building methods, insulating materials and heating and cooling systems which help reduce the carbon footprint of each of our projects. We have partnered with several small family owned mills to insure we build with responsibly and sustainably grown and harvested wood products. We also endeavor where possible to use post-consumer recyclable building materials.
