Harbor View

DesignNew suburban house in metro Boston reminiscent of the connected farm buildings of New England.

The plan is largely one room deep to encourage cross ventilation and to take advantage of water views to the north, while admitting sunlight from the south. The flavor is influenced by an informal rustic camp next door.

Lantern House is a modern interpretation of the New England vernacular: taut, simple forms with pitched metal roofs and white-painted wood siding. The glassy, lantern-like entry, with its prow-shaped canopy, signals the open, expansive space within.
