Welcome

A

P.S.

gray day on the water still holds a certain magic. I’m fortunate to live year-round in a home with “peek-a-views”—a clever phrase coined by architect Mark Hutker—of the ocean.

I take full advantage of my proximity with daily beach walks. Just as I sat down to write this letter in early spring, temperatures soared to ninety degrees in the Boston area, only to quickly plummet back down to a seasonal fifty. As the thermometer dropped, a thick fog rolled in, and I couldn’t wait to get out into the damp salty air. After the sudden bout of summer heat, it was positively thirst quenching.

I may have just admitted I’m a cold-weather junkie, but the truth is, I love being oceanside any day, and if it’s oceanside on Cape Cod or the surrounding islands, even better. Once I cross the canal or hop on the ferry, simply submitting to the tides steadies my pulse. And as spring unfurls into summer and colors brighten to their full spectrum, the ever-changing sea provides an exquisite backdrop for everything from those daily beach walks to deck-side cocktails.

All of the featured homes in this annual issue claim a unique piece of coastline. Whether they offer a peek-a-view of blue or face the waves head on, the homes emphasize the ocean through orientation, palette, and purpose. And I say without hesitation, be it a day drenched in rain or sun, or one that’s shrouded in an impermeable layer of fog, if you’re near the water, it’s magic.

THE ONLY THING THAT HAS MORE INTEGRITY THAN THE HOMES WE BUILD ARE THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD THEM. This is Kenneth. He’s been building extraordinary homes for the past 35 years. They’re not just built with the finest craftsmanship, or the best materials available, they’re built with values, by a team who respects everyone they work with, who never takes a shortcut, who gives 100%, 100% of the time.

Because that’s as important to Ken as the shingles, the foundation, and the plumbing. In fact, it’s why he built a whole new company — to go back to the values he began his career with. He wouldn’t have it any other way, and neither should you.

T

here’s a temptation when building a house with a million-dollar view to install floor-to-ceiling windows, but this vacation home in a small Cape Cod town demonstrates that what you don’t see can be just as important as what you do—and that how you’re seen by others matters, too.

Working within the confines of a narrow lot across a road from the water, architect Chris Brown of b Architecture Studio chose to pepper the front of the compact vacation home with eight picture and double-hung windows,

the latter beginning around chair-rail height. Combined with raising the elevation of the home three feet, the setup effectively edits out the view of the road while permitting sweeping views of the harbor.

Moreover, the use of more traditional windows combined with clapboard shingles and a restrained design aesthetic allows the house—

“THERE’S THIS TIMELESSNESS OF A COTTAGE ON THE CAPE THAT FITS COMPLETELY, BUT THE HOUSE STILL HAS SOME GREAT MODERN FEATURES IN IT.” —Architect Chris Brown

ABOVE: The neutral walls, open trusses, nickel-gap ceiling, and sparse furnishings like this Knoll dining table keep distractions from the views to a minimum. LEFT: Inspired by the space-saving designs found in boat cabins, the built-in sofa—covered in a faderesistant Sunbrella fabric—has plenty of space underneath for storing linens and other household necessities.

which is quite contemporary on the inside—to blend seamlessly with its neighbors. “There’s this timelessness of a cottage on the Cape that fits completely, but the house still has some great modern features in it,” Brown says.

Inside, the window design serves a different function, allowing for the installation of built-in storage along exterior walls and under custom sofas in the living and dining areas. The extra storage maximizes efficiency in a home that barely tops 800 square feet.

It’s not apparent from the street, but the house is T-shaped with a pair of bedrooms placed in the wings. The layout accommodates twelve-foot ceilings in the main living areas while permitting the bedrooms to have their own tall ceilings despite a loft that perches between the two rooms.

nestles cozily into a wall of storage cabinets with bedside cutouts that serve as nightstands. A handsome woodgrain vanity coexists happily with a more coastal-comfortable shower clad in sea-glass-like tiles. The Urban Electric Co. sconces and globe light on the shared night table in the guest room are covered in soft leather.

That loft space, accessed via a ladder, lends a tiny-house vibe to the interior, but there’s a remarkable amount of living space packed into (and outside of ) the home, aided by an interior design that unites the sparseness of Scandinavian elements with a warm color palette. Eleven Interiors principal Michael Ferzoco’s decision to dangle a dozen glass oyster shell-esque lights above the kitchen island is an obvious nod to the nautical setting, but the rest of the home, with its blues, corals,

and sandy browns, merely hints at its surroundings.

To preserve a sense of space, the house is virtually devoid of freestanding furniture, and the few pieces chosen feature narrow, open legs. The

net effect, says Ferzoco, is a seaside home that could be on any shore, even somewhere in Europe in the middle of the last century, not just Cape Cod in the 2020s.

White Out Keep entertaining simple and beautiful with an all-white palette. Stylist Karin Lidbeck Brent says that a neutral color scheme works well for coastal homes. “The modern simplicity of a white tablescape pops against the gorgeous summer backdrop of blues and greens,” she notes.

Mix and match pieces with different shapes and styles to create a table with layered interest. Here, the theme extends to the flowers: white gerbera daisies fill rustic glazed pots.

What could be more classic coastal than a lobster feast with an all-American tablescape? Alternating the blue- and red-striped placemats and napkins keeps things fun and unexpected. “Red, white, and blue tablescapes work from Memorial Day to Labor Day,” says Lidbeck Brent. “Collect an assortment of tablewares in this palette and mix it up all summer.” And don’t skip out on the lobster-themed plates. They make even an intimate gathering feel like a party.

Tradition Reigns This table reflects a tried-and-true recipe for success: mix a floral pattern with stripes, then simply layer on the rattan. The framework leaves plenty of room for creativity and allows you to collect coordinating tableware over time. “Keep an assortment of placemats, napkins, and candles on hand to pull out at a moment’s notice, and you’ll look like a pro, even during an impromptu gathering,” says Lidbeck Brent. She also recommends adding a grand bouquet to the table for drama. Simply remove it and place it on a nearby console or side table when it’s time to dine.

OUTSIDE INTEREST

A Perfect Union A clever landscaping plan brings two parcels together to create one glorious whole. BY PAULA M. BODAH A split-rail fence separates the property from the neighboring horse paddocks. From the rugged, natural-looking trees, grasses, and shrubs at the fence line, the yard progresses to the more structured look of the firepit area just off the house, where spiky purple agastache and soft yellow coreopsis lend both sculptural and colorful interest.

he homeowners, who bought this Martha’s Vineyard house just as the builder was finishing work on it, had their hearts set on a swimming pool. Landscape architect Dan Gordon knew he and his team could tuck a pool into the backyard, but, he says, “It would have been really tight, kind of jammed in.”

As luck would have it, the couple were able to buy the adjoining property, a stretch of land with two sweet cottages, which they kept, and plenty of open space. The challenge for Gordon and his colleague, landscape designer Patrick Taylor, was to unite the two parcels into

one beautifully cohesive space.

“It was a fun project because it was largely a blank slate,” Taylor says. “It’s a flat site with really beautiful views to the water and to a neighbor’s horse paddocks. It was all about tying the new property to the adjacent land with its native meadows, grasses, and windswept trees.”

The true star of today’s expanded space is the swimming pool, a long lap

pool bracketed by corner hedges, surrounded by lush fountain grass and Russian sage, and partnered with a pergola built by Edgartown’s Timothy McHugh Builders. With its subtly detailed pillars that are already weathering to a soft gray and its reeded canopy above, the pergola has a timeless, classic appeal. “It’s restrained in terms of details,” Taylor explains. “It provides a nice dappled shade for sitting, and it

The cedar pergola, flanked by crepe myrtle trees and surrounded by exuberant fountain grass, has a reeded canopy roof to provide dappled shade. The walkway around the pool blends stone and grass for a natural look.

helps anchor the pool and its perennial beds.”

For the rest of the property, the pros devised a plan that transitions from natural and playful at the perimeter to more structured nearer the house. In back, cedar trees and drifts of fountain grass soften the property’s edge. Close to the house, a bluestone terrace with a firepit is delineated by dry-stacked stone walls that hold back colorful beds of purple agastache and yellow coreopsis.

The front has a similar gradual

progression from casual to dressy, with an arrival court marked by bountiful masses of hydrangea and Russian sage giving way to the entry walkway with its tidy border plantings and hedge. “When you look at the house, it looks very neat and clean,” Gordon says. “Turn and look back, and it’s a more relaxed context.”

Whether they’re swimming laps or having a cocktail by the firepit, the homeowners no doubt feel relaxed in their own island paradise.

The couple wanted a pool, but the site their new house sat on wasn’t quite large enough to fit it comfortably. The solution: they bought the property next door and had Gordon and Taylor create a landscape plan that includes the long lap pool and pergola surrounded by hedges and plantings.

“With record real estate activity bringing so many new people to Nantucket, it seemed like the right time to assemble a collection and share our point of view of the Gray Lady.”

—INTERIOR DESIGNER GARY M C BOURNIE

A Sense of Place

BY LYNDA SIMONTON

Whaling Flags, one of the new wallcoverings from Gary McBournie Home, in McBournie’s own Nantucket residence.

For more than thirty years, interior designer Gary McBournie and his life and business partner, Bill Richards, have been creatively energized by Nantucket’s endless charm. Producing a luxury fabric and wallpaper line, Gary McBournie Home, was a natural next step.

“We are both strongly attracted to the rich and unique history of the island, from its early settlement times to its whaling heydays to its rediscovery as a resort destination and artist colony,”

80

CI23 TWL McBournie_EOK.indd 80

says McBournie. “The decorative arts are also of great interest, including basketmaking, wood carving, and textiles.”

The collection is a greatest hits of coastal patterns, including vintage nautical motifs, crisp stripes, and cheerful florals. All the designs have their charm, but McBournie’s Whaling Flags, with its nautical palette, is undoubtedly poised to become a classic.

Gary McBournie Home is available exclusively through Nantucket’s Weatherly Design, weatherlydesign.com.

Making It Work A design team prioritizes fun and function in a Nantucket home that went from tired to terrific. BY ROBERT KIENER

“M

“It helped, of course, that we’d worked with them on other projects and knew what they liked and,

When MacNeille first saw the island home his clients had purchased a few years earlier, he immediately understood why they’d asked for his

help. “The house was tired and definitely needed a redesign,” he says.

The site and the ocean views were great, but the home didn’t take full advantage of either.

The first phase of the renovation added a much-needed porch and a kid-friendly bunk room. The porch gave the family the outdoor gathering space they’d never had and worked as a useful transition from the home’s interior to its lush exterior.

bedroom into what became a six-bed mahogany bunk room.

Like many of the elements in the home’s renovation, the bunk room’s custom furniture and fittings were designed and crafted in Carpenter & MacNeille’s woodshop in Essex, Massachusetts, shipped to Nantucket, and installed by the firm’s team of finish carpenters.

By the time the home’s multiphase renovation was completed, MacNeille and his team had revitalized and transformed everything from the main

stairway to the kitchen to the primary bedroom. They even added a new pool, pool house, and an outdoor spa area.

Recently, after hosting a summer party with a house chock-full of happy guests, the owners sent MacNeille pictures of the gathering in an email and thanked them for all their hard work. “Just wanted you to know,” the owners wrote, “this house now works.

And, as you can see, it’s fun!”

Says MacNeille, “We couldn’t ask for a better compliment.”

C&M gutted an over-the-garage bedroom and renovated it with an award-winning series of bunk beds. The bunks, ladders, wall paneling, drawers, and closets were built in C&M’s mainland mill shop, shipped to Nantucket, and installed by the firm’s carpentry team over a three-week period.

Jessica Pisano has been hearing the siren song of Martha’s Vineyard for most of her life, starting with childhood summers followed by year-round living off and on beginning in her teens. A look at the Vineyard Haven artist’s paintings shows that, indeed, the essence of the island has worked its way deep into her heart and soul. “I find endless inspiration here,” she says.

That said, don’t look for literal pictures of the Vineyard among her paintings. Yes, the bird or tree or seascape—the three subjects she paints most frequently—may have been spotted out the window of her Vineyard Haven studio or on a drive around the island. But her intent goes beyond depicting something beautiful. Pisano’s fascination for nature as a subject lies in exploring its smallest details. It wasn’t always so. “A long time ago I did contemporary landscapes,” Pisano says. “But as I evolved as an artist, I got more granular in what I wanted to depict.”

She also began to lean toward the conceptual. “I made a gradual transi-

tion to marrying the traditional with the abstract,” she explains.

Instead of a broad landscape, she will now paint a single tree or a pair of hummingbirds. And while the tree or birds will be rendered in precise detail, the background will be abstract, even dreamlike, with a hypnotic, otherworldly look.

Similarly, her seascapes focus on a close-up view of gentle waves that blur into a misty horizon line and luminous sky.

Pisano’s paintings have a deceptively delicate look that is the result of painstaking work and an adherence to old-school techniques she learned in college in Portland, Oregon, at grad school at the Art Institute of Chicago, and while studying in Florence, where she mastered the exacting craft of metal leafing.

On oversized wood panels, Pisano applies layer after layer of translucent oil paint, often over a base layer of gold or silver leaf. “It’s a lengthy process, but it builds beautiful depth,” she says.

As fascinated as Pisano is with nature’s details, exploring the finer points of her craft is equally important. “I can always learn new ways of applying paint,” she says. “It’s an inner challenge that I love.”

Then came the purchase of a small summer cottage in nearby Orleans. When kids entered the picture, it was time to scale up.

While there is purposely no overly formal space in this Orleans house, designer Erin Gates sought to create a room that “still had the capacity to feel like a proper dining room.” Side chairs from Maine Cottage—a modern take on a Windsor—flank a table from Arhaus.

Smitten by Orleans, the couple found a house overlooking Little Pleasant Bay. It had everything a young family could want in a summer retreat: a quiet neighborhood, a big yard to romp in, access to the beach and boating.

The only issue? The 1980s spec house needed some serious TLC. With the able team of Erin Gates Design and Hutker Architects by their side, the couple embarked on a gut renovation, reimagining the layout for today’s family—and future generations. The heart of the home is an open

beachy vibe, and a just-right saturated blue that runs throughout (note the butler’s pantry and the pendants above the kitchen island) subtly nods to the waterside location. Because the house is one layer back from the water, Hutker sited it to capture what he calls the “peek-a-views” between the front row of houses.

Gates chose hard-wearing fabrics that can stand up to kids and dogs (“Erin can sell me anything if she tells me it’s durable,” says the husband with

“WE WANTED FAMILY-FRIENDLY BUT STILL SLEEK AND CHIC.” —Interior designer Erin Gates a laugh) without sacrificing elegance in the process. “We wanted family-friendly but still sleek and chic,” she says.

Keeping this in mind, the design team also converted a garage into a fourseason screened porch/family room.

“The garage had the best views on the whole property,” says Hutker. And now, thanks to a comfy sectional, a woodburning fireplace, and a built-in bar, it’s the most-used gathering space in the house. A house that is perfectly poised to make summer memories for generations to come.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: In the primary bath, the long double vanity, which includes a make-up

table, was designed by Gates and fabricated by Driftwood Cape Cod. The Porcelanosa soaking tub and waterfall quartz shower bench signal that the primary bath was designed with relaxation in mind. Gates chose a rope-wrapped Palecek bed for the primary bedroom—“It has an amazing beachy texture but a really modern silhouette,” she says.

Seaside Luxe Relaxation-ready homes on the Cape and Islands. BY MARIA LAPIANA

main house 5 BEDROOMS 3 FULL BATHS 1 PARTIAL BATH guesthouse 1 BEDROOM 1 FULL BATH 6,320 SQ. FT. 17.76 ACRES $7,500,000

BY DESIGN This lovely home is a gem, fairly hidden on its seventeen-acre site (called Sound View Acres) in Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s bathed in natural light, thanks to an abundance of custom sliders and clerestory windows. And it boasts stunning water views of Vineyard Sound, the Elizabeth Islands, and beyond. What style is it? Well, it hints at a few: Shingle, Craftsman, and prairie, to name three. Listing agent John dePreaux sees Dutch Colonial in it, too. But the home is thoroughly contemporary on the inside. The floor plan was designed with “many entertaining spaces as well as many thoughtful niches,” says dePreaux. Douglas fir beams complement the radiant-heated concrete floors in the main living spaces;

122

CI23_On The Market_EOK.indd 122

the bedrooms have heated bamboo floors.

The kitchen features the expected high-end appliances and a stone hearth outfitted with a custom Tuscan grill.

The property is remote yet minutes away from the Aquinnah Cliffs, Gay Head Light, and beautiful beaches. There is potential for expansion or subdivision. With so many living options, design influences, and versatile spaces, it’s safe to say this extraordinary home can be anything you want it to be.

ON POINT Cozy and grand don’t usually go together, but they get along famously in this waterfront home that sits on a sixacre peninsula in Osterville. The Point House, as it’s known, looks grand from the water (and the tip of the property), with its sprawling facade, wide decks, multiple rooflines and gables, elevated screened sunroom, and tower. It’s cozy because the interiors are well-appointed but unfussy, with lots of wood to warm things up—from sloped ceilings to parquet floors. Adding to the coziness: five

fireplaces, including a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace in the two-story great room. Every common room invites sitting, reading, and relaxing. The views are all good, but they’re exceptional from the primary bedroom, the sunroom, the Palladian windows in the tower room, and the deck that runs the length of the house. One wellworn path leads from the yard to a private beach; another takes you to a deep-water dock. And for your houseguests, the detached two-car

garage boasts guest quarters above. Listing agent Robert Kinlin says the property is rare in that it offers the utmost in privacy, plus easy access to shopping and fine dining in the village of Osterville.

NEW DEAL Completed in July 2022, this new home is noteworthy for its design, use of materials, and indoor-outdoor connection.

It sits on a compact lot in Hawthorne Park, a subdivision on Nantucket. The open-plan home, a unique collaboration between developer Blue Flag Partners and architecture and interior design firm Workshop/APD, is a modified version of the subdivision’s Barn model. The neighborhood is very family-friendly, says listing agent Henry Sanford: “There’s access

to a community pool, workout facility, common areas, and green spaces; it’s one mile from the ferry docks and two miles from Cisco Beach.” The five-bedroom home has a modern farmhouse vibe that’s light, airy, and sophisticated. A striking open staircase connects all three floors and serves to define spaces on the main level. On one side: an open kitchen and dining area, mudroom, and laundry. On the other: a formal living room with fireplace, tray ceiling, and lots of windows.

With sight lines to several areas in the house, the light-filled staircase landing is one of Sanford’s favorite spots. Thoughtfully considered finishes, fixtures, and details were chosen throughout. The lower level is home to an en suite guest bedroom (with exterior access), a large media/game room, and a wine-tasting cave. Outdoor living areas include a wide patio, pool, and cabana.

“It’s an exaggerated version of a traditional entry,” says architect John DaSilva of the fanciful entrance he designed for the new central section of this Lower Cape home. Tiny shuttered dormers crown the roof, which features a widow’s walk bracketed by chimneys and adorned with arches that echo throughout the home.

Views and light flood the family room, which is flanked by cutout Greek Revival columns and an inglenook (far right) designed for conversation or contemplation. “The owners really wanted it to feel bright, open, and coastal,” says Polhemus Savery DaSilva owner and CEO Aaron Polhemus.

BELOW: The main staircase passes in front of an arcade of flattened Greek Revival columns dividing the entry hall from the family room.

A

s any Hollywood observer will tell you, the secret to a good face-lift is to improve what’s there without betraying what came before. By this measure, the surgery that Polhemus Savery DaSilva performed on a Cape Cod home was very good, indeed.

Nestled on nearly an acre and a half of shoreline, the house was blessed with the kind of panoramic vistas most mortals merely dream about. But its rugged fir beams, dark cabinets, and massive stone fireplace felt more appropriate for a day on the slopes than an afternoon at the shore. At the behest of the home’s new owners, PSD’s team of architects and builders preserved the wings at either end of the 6,000-square-foot house but rebuilt the center, replacing Aspen bravado with an airy, sun-drenched effervescence.

“Obviously, this is a client who was open to having fun.”

—ARCHITECT JOHN D A SILVA

LEFT: The homeowners asked interior designer Susanne Lichten Csongor for a traditional Cape Cod interior, and the designer obliged with a predominantly blue-and-white palette. BELOW: The kitchen cabinets are from Christopher Peacock and include a secondary island topped with walnut that services the dining room and includes slots at either end for trays. FACING PAGE: The couple wanted to reuse their existing dining table and chairs, so Csongor updated the latter with new fabric and paired them with a Paul Ferrante chandelier that hangs from a ceiling adorned with arches that are echoed in the transoms.

“It was a very complex problem, to adapt that footprint to something that feels more in character with Cape Cod,” says design principal John DaSilva.

The architect incorporated elements of Federal, Dutch Colonial, and capestyle architecture on the exterior to make the house look like it had evolved over time, then united it all under a continuous shingled skin.

Leavening this historicism with a healthy dose of whimsy, DaSilva fashioned an exuberant front entry that skewers convention with cheeky abandon. Inside the foyer, a grand staircase culminates in a dizzying vortex of balusters, while a cavalcade of cutout columns flanks the family room, recalling architect Michael Graves at his postmodernist zenith. (Not surprisingly, DaSilva was a student of Graves at Princeton University.)

Radial arches were woven throughout, looping across ceilings, transoms,

and archways, and culminating in a hallucinogenic veil of circles shrouding the built-in bench and storage niches in the mudroom. “Obviously, this is a client who was open to having fun,” says DaSilva.

The homeowners took a more traditional approach with the decor, which was designed by Susanne Lichten Csongor of SLC Interiors. “They wanted something that felt comfortable and kind of refined, but without feeling too stuffy,” notes SLC’s Joseph ChartierPetrelis. Working within the owners’ preferred palette of blue and white, Csongor anchored one side of the family room with an eleven-foot sofa, which

she paired with plump easy chairs and ottomans covered in indoor-outdoor fabrics so they stand up to anything.

Conversation nooks and window seats abound, offering an intimate respite from the home’s grander spaces, where friends and family (the owners have two grown daughters) can curl up with a book or just contemplate the passing boats.

The gleaming white kitchen, devised in tandem with Boston’s Christopher Peacock showroom, features pristine quartz-topped cabinets punctuated with

quartersawn oak accents. While the adjacent dining area commands a lot of attention (thanks to its prime placement and ten-foot-long table), meals are often savored outside, where a full kitchen awaits on the bluestone terrace alongside an infinity pool and gas firepit.

Although the Boston-based owners have summered on the Cape for much of their lives, the husband admits he’s tempted to pinch himself every time he turns in the driveway. “It’s just a wonderful place,” he says, “and we feel extremely fortunate to have it.”

ome homeowners give their design team free rein during a remodel.

Others, like Douglas Whitla and Jocelyn Chiappone’s clients, have done their homework.

After several years of vacationing in their waterfront home (and decades of summers spent in the area), the clients, a couple with three grown children, decided it was time to renovate their midcentury-built residence. They first reached out to Whitla, who they had known socially 151

for years. Whitla connected them with Chiappone and her team at Digs Design Company, and the wife showed up prepared, pecky cypress photos and all.

“Jocelyn and I connected right away,” says the homeowner. “I had a strong sense of what I wanted in our new/old home, and she and her team were geniuses at bringing me rich, beautiful colors and textures and incorporating that classic Cape feel with a bit of edge. I told her I wanted sea captain meets ‘classic cool,’ and she nailed it.”

“Our client knew exactly how she wanted the house to feel,” confirms Chiappone. “She had a vision for it as a whole, but she imagined each room as having its own story. It was our task to bring that to life. What a rewarding experience to pay tribute to decades of family history while

pine-clad sleeping nooks that can be closed off for privacy. Above the new garage, guest quarters feature a bath adorned with CW Stockwell wallpaper; the album cover on the right comes from The Incredible Casuals, a Cape Cod band that performed in Wellfleet every summer, says builder Doug Whitla.

The homeowner requested a vacation feel for the primary bath, which has nickel-gap walls and a Palmer Industries vanity.

simultaneously expressing the modern, personal style of the current generation. This is a one-of-akind project that I’ll never forget.”

Though they might have had a specific vision for the house, the clients were open to taking risks.

That included incorporating pecky cypress paneling on the walls of the living room and study. Pecky

cypress isn’t common in New England, says Whitla.

It’s more often found in the South, and its essentially wood riddled with knots and holes that have been filled with, in this case, plaster, lending the paneling a painterly appearance. “It was a learning process,” says Whitla, “but it’s one of my favorite aspects of the house. It reminds me of ’40s or ’50s Florida.”

BELOW: In the side-entry mudroom, Chiappone found a home for her client’s Claire Murray rug in front of a vintage hat rack. FACING PAGE: The pool house embraces all things nautical. “It’s such a special room,” says Whitla. “In the summer, those doors are wide open, and in the fall, there’s a fire in the fireplace.”

“The natural elements form the cohesive line between the rooms.”

—INTERIOR DESIGNER JOCELYN CHIAPPONE (Not surprisingly, the homeowner’s Pinterest page included photos of designer Tom Scheerer’s projects in the Bahamas, which feature the paneling.)

Quirky details and tributes to the home’s midcentury origins topped the couple’s wish list. Chiappone obliged with elements like flat-front and Shaker cabinetry in the kitchen, a vintage bamboo hat rack in the mudroom, doses of rattan and wicker throughout, an aged-mahogany countertop on the bar, and even an homage to a local band in the guest bath.

Taken down to its foundation during the remodel, the house was reimagined as a series of separate rooms with distinct purposes rather than an open floor plan.

A pool house and a garage with guest quarters above were also added. “The natural elements form the cohesive line between the rooms,” explains Chiappone.

room as a favorite spot in the house. “In the summer, there’s no place like our porch—or the kitchen table—with all the windows thrown open wide,” she says. “It feels like you’re sitting on the bow of a boat, looking over the water. But in the off-season, curling up in front of the fireplace on the big sofas Jocelyn designed, surrounded by the pecky cypress walls that were a joint creation by Jocelyn’s and Doug’s teams, is something that can’t be beat.”

FACING PAGE: The room features the same HeartWood fold-up windows as the kitchen. The weighted windows open effortlessly, says Whitla, and fold flat against the room’s pine ceiling.

That might be most evident in the room she calls the “informal formal living room,” where pecky cypress paneling pairs with an abaca rug and floral Scalamandré upholstery on the sectional, chairs, and window coverings. After a process of trial and error, the design team landed on Benjamin Moore Arugula for the window frames.

“Sometimes you have to find a color you love rather than one that matches exactly,” Chiappone says.

The bold shade of green is just one of the reasons why the wife includes the living

Designer Allison Mattison carried the clients’ love of blue, white, and green into the family room. “Blue runs through every room downstairs, so there’s a nice flow in terms of the palette,” she says.

Grasscloth makes an appearance behind the bookshelves in the family room. “The soft green ties into the chairs in this room,” says Mattison. FACING PAGE: Grasscloth also adorns the walls of the living room, where Palecek chairs surround an Oomph coffee table.

hen it comes to an old house, it either has good bones or it doesn’t. Luckily for architect Patrick Ahearn, who was tasked with renovating and expanding an early-1900s residence in Osterville, he had a solid jumping-off point. The clients, a couple with three children, had recently taken ownership of the home, the same one where the wife spent summers as a child, but a failing foundation and a rabbit warren of tiny rooms needed to be addressed if the property was to function for a modern family.

Indoor-outdoor living is important to the clients, so architect Patrick Ahearn designed several spaces for the family to take in the natural surroundings. The screened porch features teak furniture from Summer Classics.

“The original home featured a large gambrel, so we took our cue from that and created a new architectural scheme that’s sympathetic to it,” says Ahearn, whose plan included picking up the structure and centering it on the lot to help satisfy today’s zoning regulations.

Ahearn removed a small rear wing on the original gambrel mass and then added new wings to either side, doubling the square footage. Accompanying the renovated residence are a pool and two adjoining structures: a cabana with a bath and a carriage house containing a three-car garage, a bar area, and guest quarters above.

“The cabana has huge pocket doors that open up, so you can even watch the television from the pool,” says builder Jamie Jaxtimer. “The carriage house doors also open onto the pool, so everything flows really well for how the family uses the outdoor space during the summer.”

ABOVE: Even the foyer gets a dose of blue in the form of a custom lantern and sconces from The Nauset Lantern Shop. RIGHT: Upstairs, each bedroom has its own color scheme; the lavender primary features a light fixture from Coleen and Company, a bench from Redford House, and Matouk bedding. FACING PAGE: In the office, Aronson Woodworks custom made the ash-wood desk, finished in the company’s signature Claize in a bright shade of blue.

In addition to the renovation of the main house, the project also included building a pool, a cabana, and a carriage house. The latter, which functions as a garage, a guesthouse, and a game room, features a bar area that can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors thanks to a handy folding window; the barstools are from Palecek.

As for the expanded six-bedroom main house, Ahearn centered the front door and added new windows, doubledecker porches, and a pair of chimneys to introduce a sense of symmetry.

Inside, a central hallway runs from the front porch to the back porch and acts as the home’s spine. While the office is strategically placed in a quiet area near the front, the rear is all about family living and entertaining, with the kitchen, dining, family room, sunroom, and screened porch easily flowing into one another.

Additional hangout spaces—including a media room, a gym, and a wine room—are tucked into the basement.

New moldings and paneling throughout contribute to the home’s overall character. “We wanted it to feel timeless in its appeal,” says Ahearn. “The finishes are carefully detailed but not precious.”

When it came time to furnish the residence, the clients worked with designer Allison Mattison. The goal was to “make this house feel totally different than their primary residence, which is more serious and has a sophisticated,

muted palette,” she says. “We punched things up with color, texture, and pattern.” Shades of blue pop up in all the main rooms—including the dining room, which is anchored by a hydrangeablue lacquered wall—and grasscloth lends a cozy quality to several spaces.

When Mattison pitched the green office, the husband wasn’t immediately on board. “After a little bit of convincing to create a green lacquered room, the idea to make the office ‘golf inspired’ evolved,” says Mattison. “Picking the

green was a process. At one point, we had at least fifteen shades on the wall and several other swatches laying around before we landed on the winner. I love that the textured raffia wallpaper on the walls and ceiling play off the lacquered trim to create a warmth in the room.”

New and custom furnishings are upholstered in performance fabrics to account for the clients’ active lifestyle, children, and dog. “They aren’t serious people, and they wanted a home that can be lived in,” says Mattison. “The

house feels fresh, bright, and vibrant, but it’s also classic with a sense of nostalgia.”

“Nantucket is all about entertaining,” says Bill Richards, a partner at Gary McBournie, Inc. The client’s own dining chairs were recovered in a Galbraith & Paul fabric, and decorative artist Deidre Mannix recolored a shell console (one of a pair). The nineteenth-century sailor-made woolie was sourced from Freeman’s auction house.

reating a house of one’s own in a coastal community can be a thrilling experience, but it can also lead to a punch list that seems to never end. A sense of place, comfort, and personality are paramount, but it’s sometimes easy to fall into certain tropes or clichés of island decorating. However, when you’re an esteemed designer 183

“The homeowner doesn’t like things that are too precious, which is great because there’s a sense of mixing that we like to do, and she appreciates the combination of high and low.”

working with a longtime client, conversations can lead to new and unexpected ways to imagine something that feels familiar, beguiling, and welcoming, yet also new, fresh, and unexpected.

That was the case with Boston-based interior designer Gary McBournie, who collaborated on a project with an existing client after she purchased a Botticelli & Pohl-designed Nantucket home. The house, originally built in the early 2000s, had great bones and exquisite detailing but needed to be lightened up to suit the sensibilities of its new owner. White paint was brought in to update dark wood finishes throughout.

Additional layers of fabrics and furnishings enhance the home’s best architectural features—of which there are many—but also give it a softer touch.

“A lot of Nantucket homes are done in blue and white, but we wanted to make it special,” says McBournie. “So some of the navy and white fabrics we used incorporate other colors, such as a hint of green.” Not only that, but the palette is executed in unexpected ways, such as on an envious pair of recolored shell consoles that grace the dining room. Shades of blue give them a sense of whimsy, but their shapes retain a

stately, almost architectural, presence in the space.

Working with a repeat client allowed McBournie to put his insight into her likes and dislikes to good use. It was almost like design shorthand.

“She doesn’t like things that are too precious,”

says McBournie, “which is great because there’s a sense of mixing that we like to do, and she appreciates the combination of high and low. She likes things with a certain amount of formality, yet she also likes to be casual.”

Outdoor furnishings from Janus et Cie allow guests to take in the surrounding views and the landscape devised by Hollander Design Landscape Architects.

And because it’s Nantucket, the interplay between indoors and out is always a dance in terms of how to capture the breezes, enhance and maximize the water views, prevent the interiors from distracting from the outside (all while holding their own)—and make sure everything is conceived and created as a whole. “There’s a sense of harmony here,” says McBournie of the property.

“She is an environmentalist, and all of those things are top of mind.”

For McBournie, creating a true sense of place was one of his guiding lights. He and his partner in business and in life, Bill Richards, have a house on the island and are keenly aware of how best to source and unearth new design discoveries there. Although McBournie and the client shopped in New York, London, and elsewhere, they were never tempted to import everything to Nantucket.

“The client feels strongly about patronizing island resources whenever we can,” says McBournie. The result is a fabulous mix of finds from antiques shows and street sales, and even exquisite carpets made on the island, paired with other objets d’art from Europe, New York, and New England.

“We often buy at auctions and are thrilled when we can incorporate a great antique piece,” says Richards. And for an island known for its rich history of international travel and trade in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, combining local pieces and those brought home from the world over seems relevant and apropos even today.
