This project was dubbed "Peace and Harmony" before the first idea was sketched, by a client’s mission statement for a special vacation retreat. A rare find with over 1,000 feet of irregular shoreline and long range views in every direction, the narrow peninsular site also resulted in a limited buildable envelope. However, challenge turned to opportunity as our study in farmhouse cottage vernacular led to an unconventional plan comfortable with being shaped to its allowable boundaries and intent on maximizing views through and beyond the house proper. The home is purposefully elegant and finely detailed, but also approachable and inviting.
