A project like this—with intricate inte- rior millwork and layered moldings and equally detailed exterior wraparound porches and custom columns—requires a skilled group of craftsmen to translate drawings into reality. Shepard delivered, as he explains, “We assembled an amaz- ing col lect ion of very exper ienced subcontractors. All of them were quality craftsmen, from framing and stonework to finish carpenters who we knew could handle this type of project.” Unique features include a teak and holly floor on the third level that repli- cates the look of a ship’s de ck , octagon—shaped ceilings in some rooms and a complete “family zone” on a lower level complete with a home theater, sports bar and golf simulator room! “I’m a traditional guy,” says Shepard, “and I love all the detail on this house — the porches, the columns and the varying roof lines.” The home has other fans as well. The local building—inspector says, “This is one of the nicest homes I have inspected in all my years in Scituate.” Another residential project is the second one that Shepard Const ruct ion & Development has completed in Hingham this year and is more of a middle-market property. Located on a beautiful lot with a huge backyard, this 3,100-square-foot property is made for gracious living. The home has a wonderful layout and beautiful interior details, from custom cabinetry to coffered ceilings and f loor-to-ceiling bookcases. A four-season sunroom shares a see-through fireplace with the kitchen. The oversized garages mean that, besides the cars, “everything else” will find a place BOSTON.BUILDERARCHITECT.COM Builder+Architect GREATER BOSTON | 13
