P.S.

hen does it truly feel like summer to you?

Is it when you stow that last piece of luggage in your packed car or the relief you feel when you finally cross the Cape Cod Canal? Or maybe it’s your first step (followed by an immediate shoulder drop) on island after disembarking from ferry or plane.

Despite the geographic and sometimes aesthetic confines of building a home on the Cape and Islands, the combo of weathered shingles and salt air is unquestionably intoxicating. And after eighteen years of covering the region, we still find plenty that makes our design hearts sing. One South Yarmouth home may very well be the oldest we’ve published—the original saltbox structure dates to 1660.

In desperate need of rescue, the home wound up in good hands with a design team that endeavored to preserve as much as possible; my favorite moment was the clever use of old lath-and-plaster boards to appealingly graphic effect.

Other homes in this issue draw on a more recent history and pay homage to the modern structures that sprouted across the Outer Cape in the latter half of the twentieth century. The practice was both sensitive to the land and to the ideals of the bohemian vacationers who flocked to the area for inspiration. Today, the same qualities attract many weekenders looking to commune with nature and bask in that special Outer Cape light.

Whatever, or whenever, it is that marks the beginning of summer for you, we hope this issue plays a part in making it the best one yet. Thanks for reading!

ZEN LIFE Attention, design students! Studio North, a weeklong intensive workshop on Martha’s Vineyard, is back for its twelfth season. Guided by architects Keith Moskow and Robert Linn of Cambridge-based Moskow Linn Architects, participants will design and construct a complete prototype structure. Last summer’s team built a pocket-sized meditation chapel that the students dubbed the Zen Den. moskowlinn.com/studio-north

PLACE PERFECT Hutker Architects’ third book, New England Coastal: Homes That Tell a Story, offers thirteen case studies supporting the firm’s philosophy: build once, well. Led by founding principal Mark A. Hutker, the Falmouth-based firm demonstrates its commitment to honoring vernacular traditions and the cherished regional landscape in vibrant photography and thoughtful essays. hutkerarchitects.com

Contributors When Greg Premru isn’t photographing residential and commercial projects in New England, he’s fishing its waters. So when he was asked to shoot “The Power of Place” on page 152, he was immediately drawn to the garage turned fishing shack. “It’s a Cape fisherman’s dream come true: timeless storage for your favorite rods and gear, plus space to prep for your next outing. And it totally helps that your boat awaits at the dock outside your door.” Premru’s favorite fishing grounds? Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard.

After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross in 2024, Kate Lagassé, whose parents own the building firm The Lagassé Group, immersed herself in writing and photography. With a strong interest in the visual arts, she was excited to tell the story of Nantucket Looms in “Lasting Legacy” on page 144. “Having the opportunity to focus on Nantucket Looms’ first book felt truly special. I learned about a creative legacy that has transformed the lives of artists and island residents, and a story embedded in the community’s history.”

he first time the interior design team saw Paddock House, it was hoisted several feet in the air to facilitate the pouring of a new foundation. “So much had been stripped from its shell that it barely resembled a house at all,” remembers Natalie Lebeau, principal designer for SLC Interiors.

and exposed timber framing. In the multipurpose breakfast/game room, the table, chair, and apothecary chest are from Mulligan’s. After learning that the homeowner wanted to repurpose the old lath-and-plaster boards rescued from demolition, the design team used them throughout the entryway and open staircase to create a graphic “wallpaper.”

New supports were created from antique heart-pine beams found in the cellar. Its many movable pieces include pedestal-style tables and painted case goods.

She was with the firm’s founder, Susanne Lichten Csongor, on that day in 2019, right after longtime clients commissioned the Boston-based designers to renovate the interiors of their recently purchased South Yarmouth home.

Dating to 1660, the house had a seafaring pedigree (an early owner, Ichabod Paddock, was a prominent figure in the whaling industry). And while

the 2,675-square-foot structure was in a fragile state, to say the least, says Csongor, “the beauty of the original exposed timber ceiling shone through, and we instantly knew that we’d want to highlight that feature in our final design.”

With the house gutted, everything was slated for change—from floor plan to furnishings. The result: a saltbox reimagined for twenty-first-century living.

“It’s a fresh, livable take on classic Americana,” says Lebeau.

“IT’S A FRESH, LIVABLE TAKE ON CLASSIC AMERICANA.” —Interior designer Natalie Lebeau says Richards.

Design direction started with a reimagined historic palette. “We took rustic browns and indigos, made some more muddied, others more colorful,” Lebeau says. “We used patterns to illustrate them—from block prints and

wovens to embroidered fabrics.”

The designers opted for mostly custom furnishings for scale and durability. “They look old but are very comfortable,” says Lebeau. “Susanne found beautiful antiques to complement our choices, and we relied on Trefler’s [restoration services] to breathe new life into vintage pieces.”

In the end, it was the melding of old and new that proved most satisfying, says Lebeau: “There’s nothing like seeing bench-made furniture and modern fabrics live alongside lovingly restored antiques in perfect harmony.”

Although the residence sits in a suburban lot bound by two roads, a sense of privacy prevails. Walker Architects designed the structure and curved driveway to retain an abundance of mature trees, and much of the street is screened by plant life.

1,120-square-foot two-bedroom residence is a bit of both: it showcases the modern, International Style the clients favor, but it’s encased in natural wood siding instead of the white stucco often associated with that architectural language.

Siting the building took careful consideration, as the lot is an undulat-

The exterior features ipe plank siding and Alaskan yellow-cedar shingles, both of which naturally weather to silver.

A footpath off the ipe deck leads to a nearby beach, and an outdoor shower provides a convenient rinse station before heading back inside.

ing pine barren bound by two roads. In an effort to preserve the natural forest canopy while allowing for southernfacing windows and outdoor areas, the firm had the lot’s address changed from the southern street to the northern one at the lower end of the site.

Now, visitors approach from the north, ascending a drive until they reach a three-volume structure nestled into an existing ridge. One walks between the combination garage-and-office volume and the bedroom volume via a long, covered deck that culminates at the front door, located in the tallest volume containing the light-filled great room.

“The result is a courtyard-like space that’s sheltered from the rain but open to the early morning sun,” explains Hilley.

H&T SPECIAL SPACES The covered entry deck is a well-used aspect of the home’s three-volume concept. “The space is carefully arranged to be open to early morning sunlight, covered to provide shelter from rain, and screened from the road by the garage volume,” explains Jacob Hilley of Walker Architects.

“OUR GOAL WAS TO CREATE A HOUSE THAT FEELS LIKE IT’S OUT IN NATURE DESPITE BEING LOCATED IN A SUBURBAN SETTING.” —Architectural designer Jacob Hilley areas enjoy southern and western views of the landscape as well as a wraparound deck that cuts into the hillside. The third outdoor space is a balcony off the primary bedroom, which is perched over a ravine.

“Our goal was to create a house that feels like it’s out in nature despite being

located in a suburban setting,” says Hilley. “Weathered wood siding recalls the time-tested materials of old Cape Cod homes, while large windows carry the influence of the modernist structures that began to blur the lines between inside and out.”

very serious antiquarian knows that sometimes you must bide your time to get what you really want. For Boston interior designer Susan Stacy— who collects everything from hat molds to shoe molds, then turns them into decorative objets d’art—her Cape Cod house itself was the ultimate find worth waiting for. “I grew up not far from here, and I’d always admired it,” she says of the 1920s colonial revival. “It has presence: the way it sits way back from the road, it’s a classic old house.”

TOP: The family’s yellow labrador retrievers, Zeke and

Ziggy, are just as much a part of the home as any antique or architectural flourish. RIGHT: In the family room, wooden hat molds—many of which Stacy found in Europe—act as de facto art on the bookshelves.

A Balinese umbrella filled with twinkle lights—a memento from Stacy’s honeymoon in Indonesia—hangs above the dining table. For a sense of grandeur, she brought the table skirt to the floor.

Originally purchased as a weekend getaway for her family, the home that presides over three lush acres became their full-time residence fifteen years ago—a move prompted by the unexpected passing of Stacy’s father and a desire to be closer to her mother as they sorted things out. What was intended to be a sabbatical year quickly turned into something permanent when her kids enrolled in school—and thrived.

The house had not been revamped much by previous owners—something Stacy saw as a gift.

“Everything needed work, which was great in many respects because a lot of the architecture was intact,” she explains. Inside, the design story unfolds like a personal memoir, written and edited over the years.

Case in point: the side-entrance mudroom, which sets the tone for the house with its graphic

The screened porch, a favorite gathering spot, includes a daybed swing made from a wonky Indonesian sofa Stacy found while she was out shopping with her late father.

“We lopped the legs off and made it into a swing,” she says.

“We watch movies out here…it’s kind of fun and old-fashioned.”

hand-stained wood floors—a DIY project Stacy finished with her sister-in-law.

Throughout the home, vintage finds bring soul. A wall installation of antique shoe molds (each one is unique) and an impressive collection of hat molds are displayed with something nearing reverence.

Another standout moment is the powder room, where the black-and-white walls were hand-painted by Stacy, in collaboration with an artist friend. A carved wood mirror with an attached bowl adds both whimsy and function. “I fill it with flowers,” Stacy says.

While much of the home is painted Benjamin Moore Cloud White, the dining room is a decadent departure. Deep chocolate walls—Falcon Brown, also by Benjamin Moore—set a moody, inviting tone. “It looks like rich chocolate pudding,” Stacy says. Above it, yet another find, this one from Stacy and her husband’s honeymoon

in Indonesia: a festive umbrella, converted for use indoors. “I had it shipped and then cut off the handle,” Stacy says. “I wanted it suspended.” She wove Christmas lights through the umbrella’s inner ribs—proof that sometimes the best thing about a ‘find’ is knowing just how to use it.

Even the backyard firepit is handmade. It’s recessed into the ground and fringed in stone to prevent sparks from igniting.

al and Doug have had a second home in downtown Falmouth for years, but as their children grew into teens and young adults and their circle of friends expanded, the family’s formerly cozy home began to feel increasingly cramped.

finishes, lighting, and furnishings, and voilà, dream house!” says Val. In truth, the project wasn’t quite that straightforward. For one thing, building in a flood zone eliminated the possibility of anything below grade. Salt Architecture and builder S.G. Custom Homes also had to work around an existing swimming pool, and the lot demanded an unusual orientation of the much larger new home relative to the street.

But the collaboration between owners and contractors yielded a residence that gels both physically and aesthetically with its Cape Cod environment.

“It’s an established neighborhood, and while the house is architecturally different, it definitely fits in,” says Scott Goldstein of S.G. Custom Homes.

Clever elements, such as the tall oak ceilings on the first floor and exposed rafters on the exterior, add personality to a structure that otherwise prizes flow and functionality over flair.

An arced second-floor balcony overlooking the living room is perhaps the most visually dramatic moment in the home.

“There aren’t a lot of curves in the house, so this was a place to bring one in,” explains Hike Harris.

The larger bulk of the house is mitigated by a varied roofline and a glass-walled mudroom between the living area and garage, the latter of which includes a second-floor home office. Common spaces like the kitchen, living room, family room, and screened porch are scaled for entertaining and situated in proximity to pool and patio,

with outside views informed by the family’s familiarity with the location.

Yet, “Some of our favorite spaces are the ones we didn’t plan for,” says Val, like a small kitchen nook that “gives us a different perspective of both the backyard and of the kitchen.”

For the family, the new home supports their long-term goal of spending more time on the Cape. “It’s a home that is beautiful but not precious,” says Val. “We put it to the test all year long, and it performs perfectly every time.”

A double lot allowed for the construction of a larger replacement house, but nearby neighbors in the downtown setting necessitated the thoughtful placement of windows and landscape screening to maintain privacy.

o one would accuse this Cape Cod pool pavilion of being ordinary, even at first glance, but like the Magic Eye pictures of the 1990s, the more you look—or if you tilt your head juuuuust so—the more details you begin to see.

For instance, did you notice the sharks?

“The homeowners wanted a fun, lighthearted place for entertaining—something that was consistent with the character of the existing house,” says design principal John DaSilva,

ABOVE: The bottoms of the pergola brackets are held above the bluestone terrace, points out architect John DaSilva, so that the cedar doesn’t absorb standing water and become stained. LEFT: The outdoor kitchen, with its convenient pass-through to the pavilion’s interior, is equipped with a grill and double burner, sink, beverage and wine refrigerators, and an ice maker.

referring to the couple who purchased a home his firm, Polhemus Savery DaSilva, designed nearly a decade ago. “They liked the idea of using whimsical details.

If you look at the ends of the rafters and brackets that comprise the cantilevered pergolas, you’ll see shark faces.”

Those parallel pergolas, whimsical elements in their own right, serve a purpose: they shade the pavilion’s alfresco dining area and kitchen. Inside, the red-cedar-clad structure houses a vaulted-ceilinged sitting area and a granite fireplace that is visible from the home’s new family room addition, also designed by PSD. (That room’s ceiling trusses also feature, you guessed it, shark faces.)

TOP TO BOTTOM: A piece of driftwood found on a nearby beach serves as the granite fireplace’s mantel. On the other side of the fireplace wall is a powder room and storage; interior designer Carolyn Thayer chose all of the furnishings.

“WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PAVILION AND OUTDOOR SPACES FLOWED SEAMLESSLY.” —Landscape architect Rob Calderaro The entire structure, which DaSilva and PSD senior landscape architect Rob Calderaro both refer to as a “jewel box,” sits in front of a newly built pool with an integrated spa. A bluestone terrace anchors it all. “We wanted to make sure that the pavilion and outdoor spaces flowed seamlessly,” says Calderaro, “and utilizing a consistent paving material, bluestone, inside and outside the pavilion was a big part of making that work.”

When PSD designed and built the original home, those owners elected to use a side yard for outdoor living, leaving the fallow backyard with its fifteen-foot slope untouched. The new owners, however, craved privacy that the side yard couldn’t offer, which

meant bringing in a lot of backfill to level out the land so it could accomodate the pool and pavilion.

Calderaro says the backyard wound up exceeding his expectations, and DaSilva describes the process as rewarding. “It feels good when a new owner understands what makes a house we created special,” he reflects. “It feels even better when they trust us to be good stewards and extend that character.”

When Chris and Kelly Berardi visited The Nauset Lantern Shop the day after Christmas in 2019, it didn’t take long to know they’d found something special. “We walked out after a two-hour tour and said, ‘We can take this awesome product that’s been here for sixty years, and we can make it even better,’ ” recalls Chris. Since then, the couple—he’s a former carpenter and she has a background in

business—has brought new life to the iconic Cape Cod company, focusing on expanding design options while maintaining a legacy of craftsmanship.

A deep commitment to customer service and handmade quality is at the core of the business. Every lantern begins as raw sheet metal and is hand-cut, soldered, and finished

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Kelly and Chris Berardi in the showroom, where Chris

A lighting display shows the breadth of the company’s work, including table lamps and painted hanging lanterns. A tab is soldered onto a copper leg, which holds a lantern’s glass in place.

by a small team of artisans, including some who are jewelers by trade.

“Everything is custom-made,” notes Chris. “Each light is built for a specific home, a specific space. We talk with clients about their architectural plans, style preferences, and the natural light in the room. Every detail matters.”

The Berardis’ bespoke approach has become the shop’s signature, whether replicating a classic lantern or creating a contemporary piece like the Nova Onion (a nod to Villanova University, the couple’s alma mater). The Nauset Lantern Shop’s ability to tailor each fixture is what differentiates them.

“We can customize any light,” Chris explains. “It speaks to the homeowner.

canopy. The Navigation Post Lantern is seen here in copper. A coat of Benjamin Moore Sheer Romance gives the Tonset Hanging Lantern a fresh look. The lighting showroom displays a variety of lantern types and styles.

It becomes part of their story.”

The coastal design landscape has become quite sophisticated, and the shop’s blend of traditional craftsmanship and

modern creativity is resonating. Largescale lanterns are popular, as are historic forms painted in bright hues.

While the business has grown, the Berardis maintain a hands-on approach.

“We’re a small but mighty team,” Kelly shares. “When someone opens that box and pulls out their light, we want them to gasp a little. It’s a piece of jewelry for the home—beautiful, personal, and made to last.” The Nauset Lantern Shop, Orleans, nausetlanternshop.com

eslie-jon Vickory wants you to think of her Sandwich shop, Jarves & Main, as a garden. Not necessarily literally—though there are delightful topiaries and those satisfyingly balanced Haws watering cans—but certainly figuratively. “The shop’s personality began to evolve about six months after we opened,” says Vickory, “and it became clear that the space celebrates life and home as metaphors for gardens that are constantly growing and creating.”

ABOVE: Shop owner and interior designer Leslie-jon Vickory behind the counter at Jarves & Main in Sandwich. LEFT: Last year, the shop launched its own brand of home fragrances and candles, made in France. The scents are all named for elements from French classical gardens: Allée, Parterre, and Bosquet, to name a few.

Vickory opened the 700-square-foot store, located on the corner of Jarves and Main streets, in 2022 after moving back to the area from Boston with her partner, architect Kahlil Hamady.

(The couple has a studio at the back of the boutique in addition to an office in Greenwich, Connecticut.) Vickory’s

career trajectory began in luxury residential construction before veering toward interior design in the early 2000s. Along the way, she spent seven years teaching at Boston Architectural College, and she and Hamady have led classes for the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art at its headquarters in New York City, at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and in Paris.

It goes without saying that the Massachusetts native has honed her eye for design, especially when it comes to heritage brands and items you might not find easily on Cape Cod. Case in point: Jarves & Main became stockists for British paint and paper company Little Greene last year.

Speaking of painting, Vickory creates drawings and watercolor renderings of many of her projects. Her work can be seen on the labels of the shop’s own line of made-in-Grasse candles and home fragrances. Shoppers might even catch her drawing at her drafting table near the front desk, a quiet moment that adds to an already tranquil sensibility. Jarves & Main, Sandwich, jarvesandmain.com

H&T ARTISTRY Joe Diggs’s early life on the Cape was not all Topsiders and lobster rolls.

A descendant of Cape Verdeans, he struggled with subtle racism and the accidental death of his older brother.

For years, he says, he “wandered around like a zombie,” traveled the world, and felt understandable anger about the victims of violent racism he saw in the news, like Rodney King and James Byrd Jr. Through it all, three things kept him going: sports, his love of painting, and memories of a pond passed down by his grandfather.

Just after World War II, Diggs’s grandfather, also named Joe, had built a cluster of rental properties on one side of Micah’s Pond in Osterville and created a refuge there for people with darker complexions. Diggs remembers summers in his childhood when those cabins were full of Black families who returned every year and became his friends. “Swimming and games, people on the deck playing pinochle late at night, drinking and laughing and carrying on. Once they got to the property,” he says, “it was total freedom.”

Eventually Diggs concluded that he’d seen nothing in the world more beautiful than that pond, so he returned, took over the operations of the rental properties, and settled in to paint. “As an African American artist,” he says, “it’s easy to dwell on mistreatment. When I came back here, I realized that I have gold all around me—nothing but gems and jewels.”

When he looks out from his studio at the pond, he paints the various shapes he sees—leaves, branches, and tree trunks, and the spaces between them—and those shapes CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Hemisphere (2022), 30"H x become opportunities for him to dive into 40"W, oil on canvas.

Micha’s Pond Light (2023), 60"H x 40"W, oil on canvas.

“They’re always there.”

Diggs’s paintings show a lifetime of mastery, a deep awareness of color, and a rare ability to bare himself emotionally. In an art world often overburdened with concepts and theories, he goes to a deeper, better place, letting love, gratitude—and sometimes anger—flow out of his unconscious and onto the canvas. It’s a level of creative honesty that’s rare. “This place brought it out of me,” he says. “It’s where I can tell my truth. Every step is hallowed ground.”

or more than five decades, island landmark Nantucket Looms has transformed cashmere, alpaca, mohair, and cotton into blankets, rugs, table linens, scarves, and sweaters.

This spring, it celebrated the release of its first book, Nantucket Looms: A Legacy of Style (Rizzoli), which features projects from Nantucket Looms Interiors, the textile company’s fullservice interior design branch, born in 1998.

The book explores residences across the island, each curated in the brand’s signature palette and textiles, including the charming Cliff Road retreat, cheekily referred to as Beach Bucket. It also touches upon Nantucket Looms’ history and connection to the community.

Nantucket Looms interior designer Stephanie Hall customized cotton- and linenblend draperies with a Romo border.

Andy Oates and Bill Euler inadvertently started a craft movement on Nantucket in 1968 when they opened the store.

Their protégé, Elizabeth Winship, inherited the business after nineteen years and nurtured its reputation, passing it down to her daughter, Bess Clarke, who is now the CEO. “It was really important for all of us to pay

tribute to Bill, Andy, and Liz, in particular, because we learned so much from her over many years,” says principal designer Stephanie Hall, who is a partner in the business alongside Clarke and master weaver Rebecca Jusko Peraner.

The book—and the shop—also spotlights local artisans. Nantucket Looms invites artists to bring their work to the shop before it opens on weekdays for the opportunity to sell their wares, a tradition that empowers local imaginations. “It’s special,” says Clarke. “It’s a business about the people, the staff, each other, our clients, and the artists.”

In addition to the year-round store, where shoppers can often hear the upstairs looms hard at work, and the interior design firm, the company also supports local high school graduates through a scholarship fund. It’s all part and parcel of a business that has spent fifty-plus years weaving itself into the fabric of the island. Nantucket Looms, nantucketlooms.com

The

POWER of PLACE

In Harwich Port, a summer home reflects a lifestyle firmly anchored to the harbor.

Interior designer Jocelyn Chiappone used a mix of patterns in a similar palette to bring cohesion to the open living area. “The lighter woods help draw the eye to the boats along the harbor,” she says. FACING PAGE: In the foyer, a Patterson Flynn star-patterned sisal rug nods to traditional Cape Cod style and complements the vintage seagrass bench.

n New England, where “summer” is as much a verb as it is an all-too-short season, it’s not unusual for a family to return to the same town generation after generation once school lets out.

But when a husband and wife approached their design team about replacing their existing vacation home in Harwich Port with one that would better reflect their boat-loving lifestyle, it was clear their connection to place was, in a word, specific.

155

CI DigsDesign_Harwichport_EOK.indd 155

The more formal, monochromatic living room features a sisal wallcovering from Cowtan & Tout and Quadrille drapery with a Schumacher trim. FACING PAGE: Soft coastal colors in the dining area don’t distract from the interior architecture and millwork. “The level of trim detail was extraordinary,” says builder Rob McPhee.

“The wife had grown up summering on this street, and they had rented there as a family for years before purchasing a 1960s-built home, which they’d lived in for eight years,” explains interior designer Jocelyn Chiappone of Digs Design Company. “They loved their neighbors and being a part of the ecosystem of the harbor, from its wildlife to its working waterfront.”

So the old house came down in a manner sensitive to the neighborhood and the environment; the wife’s father is a lifelong conservationist, and preserving a gnarled waterfront oak tree was paramount, says landscape architect Sean Papich. Add to those considerations a slew of FEMA requirements and an extraordinarily confined area, and you have a project that architect Patrick

ABOVE: Brass Ann-Morris pendants, rope-backed Hickory Chair stools, and preppy plaid GP&J Baker fabric on the chairs give the kitchen a sense of place. RIGHT: “The wet bar lives opposite the view, so we drenched it in ‘Digs Blue’ and added brass detailing and a teak-and-holly counter for a nautical touch,” says Chiappone. FACING PAGE: It was important to the homeowners to preserve the oak tree off the dining terrace, says landscape architect Sean Papich: “Aside from adding character, it also screens the home from the harbor.”

Ahearn says was one of the most challenging in his fifty-plus-year career.

None of that shows from the outside, though. Ahearn tailored the resulting two-story three-bedroom Shingle-style residence to look as if it’s always been there.

As with any house so close to the shoreline, views were emphasized throughout. From the front door, guests can see all the way to the back of the home where copious fenestration in the open-plan kitchen, dining area, and family room offers close-up views of the harbor.

Ironically, one of the only rooms without a water view, the living room located at the front of the house, happens to be the wife’s favorite spot, says Chiappone. The layered space boasts areas for lounging and playing cards along with one of the home’s three fireplaces.

Architect Patrick Ahearn tailored the two-story Shingle-style residence to look as if it’s always been there.

The bunk room above the garage features wall-to-wall carpet and storage cubbies as headboards. FACING PAGE: In one of the son’s rooms, the Raoul Textiles fabric inset on the Lee Industries headboard references the waves.

For her part, Chiappone says it’s the laundry room, where the paint was color matched to the floral wallpaper’s blue background, that she loves most.

“Instead of painting the trim blue, we decided to keep the shutters, panels, and base molding white,” she says. “The result reminds me of a summer day.”

Builder Rob McPhee has family that lives around the corner from the home, and his Cape Cod-based firm has completed many projects in the area.

He says it’s the details, like the arched pocket door on the husband’s office,

that make this project stand out. “I really love the fact that they didn’t paint the pocket door,” he says. “Instead, it’s left as an accent piece.”

The husband, with his sea captain and harbor pilot lineage, will tell you it’s the outdoor spaces that are the biggest game changers. The home boasts its own dock, which leads to a bluestone terrace with an outdoor kitchen decked out with both wood and gas grills (and a cozy firepit).

From the terrace, descend four steps and walk through double carriage doors

into the garage or, as Ahearn refers to it, the “man cave/fishing shack.” The space is clad in spar-varnished fir beadboard on the ceiling and walls, while the floor is herringbone-patterned brick. Storage for

fishing gear, a galley kitchen, and a yachtinspired bar table make this a prime location for gathering with neighbors.

“They can come off their boat with the daily catch, go straight into the

garage to clean it, and then cook the fish and steam the lobsters on the terrace,” Ahearn says. “It’s really a whole lifestyle.”

A COUPLE AND THEIR DESIGN TEAM GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO ENSURE THIS ORLEANS VACATION SPOT DEFERS TO ITS SETTING. Text by FRED ALBERT | Photography by GREG PREMRU Produced by KARIN LIDBECK BRENT This Orleans vacation home is surrounded by water on three sides and commands stellar views of Nauset Harbor. The property was cleared of invasive plants, but its windswept cedars remain, now joined by naturalistic gardens that extend to the edges of the pool.

Cobbled together from flotsam and jetsam, the dune shacks dotting the sandy banks of the Outer Cape have inspired generations of artists and writers.

Eugene O’Neill, Jack Kerouac, Jackson Pollock, and Norman Mailer are just a few of the creatives who have sought refuge there over the last century, inspired by the tranquility of these humble retreats and their primal connection to the land and sea.

Reclaimed oak covers the walls and ceiling in the dining room, defining the space within the open plan. The table was handcrafted by Jeff Soderbergh; the chairs are from JANUS et Cie.

When Joel and Sally Hughes commissioned architect Mark Hutker to design a new house for their property bordering Nauset Harbor in Orleans, Hutker and project architect Jonathan Fox envisioned a place whose understated palette, compact footprint, and shed-like form would defer to the setting, much like the dune shacks.

“That’s our standard MO: to make houses feel as unobtrusive as they can be on such a delicate property,” says Hutker. He and Fox divided the 4,344-square-foot structure into a pair of two-story volumes linked by a window-lined circulation spine.

A butterfly roof ascends fore and aft, providing extra height for the second-story windows, which sweep around corners to capitalize on the stunning 270-degree views. The roof also provides an angled perch for the expansive solar array concealed up there.

The exterior is notably spare.

“The siding was all tongue-andgroove cedar, which has a very flat, clean look to it,” says builder Douglas Whitla. The cedar continues

inside, wrapping the walls throughout the first floor, whose muted palette was inspired by the weathered wood, lichen, and mosses that proliferate around the site.

Interior designers Stacey Sarber and Marissa Wolinsky echoed that approach in the finishes and fixtures. (Sally Hughes worked with designer Carol Sarason on the furnishings.) A Lindsey Adelman

chandelier resembling a string of clear glass barnacles straddles the two-story entry hall, emitting a beaconlike glow that’s visible to passing boaters. “We knew we wanted a statement there,” Sarber says.

The designers were careful to vary the textures, materials, and sheens inside, so nothing felt slick.

“Joel said that he liked modern, but didn’t want it to look like a dentist’s office,” Sarber recalls with

seemed like the perfect spot to have a little fun,” says owner Sally Hughes of the family room, which sports a wavelike wallpaper from Phillip Jeffries.

The owners wanted the primary bath to feel like an extension of the bedroom, so the architects divided the two with a freestanding water closet backed by a vanity; a wet room is visible at rear. “When you’re sitting in that tub, it’s like you’re outside,” says architect Jonathan Fox, who also provided an outdoor shower.

bemusement. Even the white tile walls in the primary bath were fashioned from a patchwork of textured pieces, to give the surface visual interest.

The kitchen is devoid of upper cabinets, permitting more wall space for windows. “This almost feels like an outside room,” observes Hutker, who

compensated for the loss of storage with an ample butler’s pantry. A peninsula topped with quartzite and lined with stools keeps friends and family close at hand but out of the cook’s way. “If you did an island here, it would become a circulation corridor,” Hutker notes.

Before construction started, Wilkinson Ecological Design eliminated the invasive plants

that choked the site and obstructed views. Honeysuckle, oriental grape, phragmites, and other nonnatives were swapped out for summersweet, crinkled hair grass, and Eastern red cedars.

Landscape architect Christopher Buccino kept most of the plantings natural, using fieldstone

walls, rusted-steel enclosures, and grade changes to delineate spaces. “I love the idea that the wildness extends right up to the edge of the pool,” remarks Buccino, who channeled rainwater from the roof into scuppers, troughs, and underground pipes to irrigate the grounds and feed the rain gardens woven into

Like the dune shacks that inspired it, the vacation home feels inseparable from its setting. “The outdoors just come into the house,” marvels Sally. “We feel like we’re living amidst nature.”

or the five summers they rented the Martha’s Vineyard cottage, the couple would talk about what they would change if the house was their own.

So, when owners of the 1940s-built house decided to sell, the pair jumped at the chance to turn their remodeling dreams into reality.

Sometimes, to make a dream come true, you have to endure a nightmare or two, and that’s what happened when builder Gary Maynard and site supervisor

Marco Sanseverino took a close look at the cottage’s foundation. “The original intent was to repair it,” Maynard relates.

“But there was decay in the framing and

the sills, and one thing led to another.”

Seeing opportunity in the challenge, the design team and their clients decided to lift the house four feet off the ground and replace the decaying frame and its crawl space with a full basement that holds a den, a guest suite, and plenty of storage.

Above ground, says architect Doug Jack (who was with Maryann Thompson Architects at the time but has since opened his own Boston firm, Nidify Studio), the footprint and basic layout of the two-story house remained the same. That doesn’t mean he didn’t make big changes, however. The old cottage comprised smallish rooms wrapped in knotty-pine paneling and sporting small multipaned windows.

“It had kind of a dark, cabin feeling,” Jack says.

He took down walls for a more contemporary open floor plan, made doors taller, and installed larger windows with fewer panes, flooding the home with natural light. “It really

189

was a full-on gut of the interior,” says the architect.

Outside, along with outfitting the house in new cedar shingles and a new roof with solar panels, Jack added a screened-in porch across the length of the ocean-facing side of the house.

The home’s sunny, beachy look is the work of interior designer Abby Yozell, who took into account both the couple’s design sensibilities and their needs

as the parents of three active, athletic children.

“My client wanted a house that was easy to clean. She wanted to be able to just sweep the sand out the door,” Yozell says. V-groove wood floors painted white—“They’re so Vineyard-y,” says the designer—in the main living space and tile floors in the bathrooms fit the bill for effortless maintenance. Easygoing furniture wears durable fabrics in shades

A corner in the living room, with its Indian charpai bed and a woven drum stool from Palecek, is a favorite spot for relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea. FACING PAGE: Yozell painted the screened porch in shades of fresh green, opting for a subtle stripe on the floor.

of blue that can hold up to sandy feet, wet bathing suits, and the muddy paws of the family’s 170-pound Newfoundland.

“The palette was driven by the homeowner, who really likes blues, and then we added accents in orange and yellow for interest,” the designer says.

Custom pieces, including two dining tables, for indoors and out, by Dartmouth, Massachusetts, furniture maker Joel Medeiros, join unique finds like the living room’s vintage John Robshaw coffee table and a woven Indian daybed, giving the home a spirited personality that suits the young family.

Mom, Dad, and the kids eagerly await the day each year when they move from their suburban Boston home to the island for the summer. “It feels like such a special place,” says the homeowner.

“It turned out even better than we ever imagined.”

“Because of that, there’s a richness to the outcome we achieved,” says architectural designer Steve Roethke, whose own experience with island life began as a five-year-old boy building sandcastles during one of many family vacations. Now

a year-round resident, he lives his commitment to preserving the island’s special character through his architectural design and building business, S.M. Roethke Design.

His clients, a married couple with teenage chil-

dren, represent a second generation of summer residents. “The wife’s parents bought the property and built a house in the 1980s,” says Roethke. “The history of her experience there set this project up for success.”

With their extended family including brothers and sisters, cousins, and nieces and nephews, she and her husband wanted to expand beyond the existing colonial-style house in a way that encouraged gathering while also providing privacy for multiple guests.

Screened from the street by the existing house, a straightforward two-story structure, the new complex includes a four-bedroom house, a pool cabana with an office, and a garage all built around a swimming pool.

Two upstairs bedrooms have balconies overlooking the pool. The fourth bedroom suite is in the basement where a large family room is a favorite spot to hang out on a rainy day.

hen a pair of homeowners commissioned architect Peter Haig to renovate an early-1900s cape in Chatham, the last thing he was trying to do was reinvent the wheel. “The clients had lived in the home for several years already, so it carried a lot of nostalgia for them,” says Haig. “They loved the house, but it was worn, and it had been added onto in a haphazard manner. We wanted to respect the old and keep the residence’s soul while re-enlivening it and improving its flow.”

dining, sunroom, and a guest room— was retained, while the later additions were completely replaced. “Sometimes, when a house has been expanded over time, the quality gets lost, and those areas were showing their age,” notes Haig, who took care in preserving the residence’s general plan and unique architectural features such as the barrelroofed entry. “The idea was to take cues from the original and match what was there for a more unified look.”

To help with that, Haig collaborated with construction firm Spencer &

The dining room’s original fireplace and the millwork surrounding it remain, while a new swinging door with a porthole window leads to the kitchen.

Company to duplicate the original roof molding using a composite material that looks like wood. For the new sunroom, located on the front of the home, the builders worked with an architectural restoration company to match the moldings. “It’s an exact replica of what was there, which was a significant undertaking,” explains Matt Spencer.

In fact, the entirety of the residence features duplicated millwork. Spencer’s company even sourced wide-plank pine flooring from a local mill and stained it to emulate the patina of the original.

And although the architectural details and general footprint remain, the overall feeling inside is much brighter and airier. “We essentially expanded on the plan that was there,” says Haig. “We focused on strengthening the circulation and bringing light into the corridors.

And upstairs, we added more windows to take advantage of the water views.”

To carry the renovation across the finish line, the owners called on

designer Meg McSherry, who filled the residence with a combination of custom and new upholstery along with a variety of antique furnishings—but nothing too formal or precious.

“This home is a gathering place for multiple generations, and there could be twenty-five people and several dogs at any given time,” says the designer.

“The clients wanted a comfortable space that’s warm and cozy during all seasons.”

As such, McSherry focused on timeless patterns “that feel like they could have always been there” and a subdued palette inspired by overcast days by the water. “The client mentioned that on gray days the ocean is a beautiful periwinkle shade,” McSherry says. “The colors aren’t crisp, but rather complex and soothing. It’s almost as though they’ve been washed and are a little worn, just like a favorite pair of jeans.”

Compound Interest

The cabana houses an outdoor kitchen and covered dining area.

CURB APPEAL A new build in the Surfside area, this Shingle-style family compound speaks to the classic Nantucket vernacular while keeping modern luxury top of mind. The central structures— the main house, a one-bedroom cottage, and a cabana with a full outdoor kitchen and dining area—frame the saltwater pool, creating a private backyard oasis. A two-car garage with space to dream above (guest quarters or a studio, perhaps?) is around front, off the circular drive.

WHAT’S INSIDE If it’s possible to think of every creature comfort, this house is living proof.

listing agent Marybeth Gibson.

The list of amenities is enviable: a heated saltwater pool and spa, a half-sized basketball court that doubles as a pickleball court, a full gym, a movie theater with reclining seats, a bar, and an outdoor pizza oven. If you do opt for a change of vacation scenery, Surfside Beach is close by, and the shops and restaurants that dot downtown Nantucket are only a few miles away.

From the practical (a first-floor en suite bedroom, a bunk room to accommodate visitors, a dog-washing station to keep Spot spotless) to the sublime (a coffee bar with a built-in Gaggenau espresso machine, a marble sunken enclosed firepit, a totally trickedout outdoor kitchen), this home checks every box.

The property comes fully furnished, and it’s clear no detail was overlooked on that front.

FUN FACTOR “Once you’re here, there’s no reason to leave,” says

Seaworthy Sanctuary CURB APPEAL Originally built in 1845, the Captain Silva house has undergone a complete gut renovation.

Lunch or lounge poolside in this private backyard retreat.

WHAT’S INSIDE All you need to pack is a suitcase—this house comes fully furnished. “A colonial feel meets a coastal, beachy vibe,” says listing agent Erin Hegarty of this property that was designed with multigenerational families in mind. Crisp shiplap and a nautical-inspired palette coupled with top-of-theline appliances and energy-efficient mechanicals equal a house that’s primed to stand the test of time.

The overall feel—characterized by a Vineyard vacation vibe—is cohesive, from the six-bedroom main house to the two freestanding guest quarters.

private oasis that’s ideal for entertaining family and friends, but the proximity to town can’t be beat. Shopping, restaurants, boating, fishing, and the beach are all easily accessible by foot or bike.

And the front porch is a people-watcher’s paradise—even the Fourth of July parade marches right by.

Cape Escape CURB APPEAL Designed by Salt Architecture and built in 2020, this North Chatham home has character in spades. The classic Cape Cod vernacular gets a contemporary upgrade in this weathered-shingled and white-clapboard estate perched on a bluff overlooking Ryder’s Cove, Bassing Harbor, and Pleasant Bay. You could say the spectacular location is made for TV: in fact, from the backyard (or the second-story balcony) you can glimpse the house that starred in Netflix’s The Perfect Couple.

WHAT’S INSIDE While the unparalleled views of the water are meant to be the star of the show (thanks to all the floor-to-ceiling windows), the interiors, which are fully furnished, deserve equal billing.

A floating wooden staircase that connects all three floors sets the design-forward scene that’s centered around a light-filled living room.

An openconcept kitchen/dining area makes dinner parties a breeze.

FUN FACTOR Consider this the best of both worlds. North Chatham is known for having a bit more breathing room, but it’s still only a few miles from Chatham’s charming town center. There’s also plenty to do on property: a set of stairs leads to a private beach, a perfect spot to launch a paddleboard or moor a center console. Back at the house, take a dip in the heated pool or retreat to the lower level, which boasts a nauticalthemed bar, climate-controlled wine cellar, and a custom-built pool table.

Tropical Punch Interior design and fashion once again crossed paths this spring when Lee Jofa and Lilly Pulitzer released their third collaboration.

The new collection includes fabrics, wallcoverings, trims, and, for the first time, wallpaper murals. The vibrant tropical patterns recall resort vacations in island locations. Case in point: the ikat-inspired Tropi Call Me linen-and-cotton fabric, shown here, which was designed on the patio at the Olive Boutique Hotel in Puerto Rico. kravet.com
