1. Reimagine a 1970s home as a timeless, multigenerational retreat.
2. Preserve and incorporate as much of the original structure as possible.
3. Plan several phases of work that will blend seamlessly together over the course of a decade.
4. Minimize impact.
Designed for both gathering and grounding, this home revolves around an open living-kitchen-dining area with vaulted ceilings and wide windows framing views like moving paintings: fishing trawlers set out from Menemsha at dawn, and the Gay Head Light winks goodnight. In between, the stage is set for family life.
Salvaged oak floors, a chestnut island, and weathered truss chords add depth and character to the crisp white walls and painted ceiling, for a fresh and timeless aesthetic. Ridge skylights bring pools of light to seating areas and the kitchen.
Outside, a broad, level meadow extends, ready for the annual family wiffleball game. A favorite feature is the custom outdoor shower, elevated on a rocky knoll, with views of the Elizabeth Islands and surrounded by native plants.
For some peace and quiet, follow a winding staircase up to the panoramic second-story “Sunset Room” and balcony beyond. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails.
