New England Home, "Hillside Haven"

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.

Farm Villa combines imagery of the New England farmhouse with that of the Neoclassical European villa. Columns vary according to a hierarchy of formality: plain square white columns for the entry porch, monumental paneled columns for the view-facing porch, and locally-milled timbers with metal connections for the outbuildings.

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.

The center of this compact house is a high, open room combining living, dining, and kitchen. Windows on both sides open to the views and the sea breezes, and dormers fill the space with light from above.
