PSD's "Time Out" project glows at night.

Time Out

Time Out is an early 19th Century Greek Revival house in one of Cape Cod’s most treasured historic districts. While the original vernacular proportions and details were not beautifully executed, the house contributed significantly to the fabric of the dense “Old Village” and was a protected historic structure. PSD’s renovation re-made the historic portion of the exterior to match the existing form and character but to improve the faulty details and crude assemblages of the original.

There is a small terrace at the front of the house to look out to the Main Street.

The existing interior of small dark rooms was gutted and replaced with an open plan set up for casual living for a large family that frequently retreats to the house, beach, and village nearby.
