Checkerboard House

The apparent front door opens onto a covered arcade that takes you past a walled garden to the real front door. The parts of the house are grouped around this contained garden, while also looking out to the cove.

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.

This gambrel-roofed house is a good neighbor to its old summer community. It is respectful yet light-hearted, playing off symmetry and asymmetry.

This house aims to capture the modest spirit of a New England farm while offering a bit more elegance inside. The classical entry portico is a discreet clue to what lies within.
