Two Courts

Sited dramatically on a bluff, this modern synthesis of Shingle Style and Arts and Crafts architecture gains interest from the way it bends and meanders to follow the contours of the land. The angled wings dynamically shift and overlap.

This compound of new buildings adopts a vernacular rural style, reinforcing the culture of the place by using simple barn forms. The composition is unified by painting all the buildings the traditional ferrous oxide red.

Light-hearted and picturesque, Island House distills the essence of its seaside summer community. The dramatic repetition of pointed dormers places paired windows on an angle better to capture the sweeping views to the water.

With Medieval overtones, this shingled house is anchored by a great hall of reclaimed wood, with a musicians’ gallery at one end.
