Responding to its beachside meadow setting, a family retreat is crafted with lasting materials and designed to capture and celebrate the ever-changing views, light, and breezes.
At home with its surroundings, the house’s multiple smaller volumes settle into the landscape, clad in the region’s typical cedar shingles. A semi-inverted plan, typical of Vineyard homes, places the living room upstairs with an outdoor deck, the better for capturing views while the natural woods, soft greys, and pale whites of the interiors respond to the Vineyard light.
Vernacular components are distilled to their essence, and a Scandinavian sensibility blends together with the casual context of Martha’s Vineyard.
