Rustic Roots
Edgartown, Massachusetts
When clients purchased a vacant 6-acre parcel, they knew they wanted to build a home with an authentic sense of place on the wooded lot.

The new cape-style residence attaches to a carriage house wing via a stepped-down connector, while an adjacent barn references earlier times with its simplified form and board and batten siding. Interiors feature a modern layout designed to encourage new summer memories and to comfortably gather both indoors and out.
