The origins of the home’s silhouette are tied to both zoning and the land. Height restrictions in Chilmark prohibit a gabled roof from being more than 24’ tall. Working with the natural rolling topography, a creative opportunity was recognized to capture a walk-out lower grotto on the main residence with two floors above, utilizing a steeply pitched roof to introduce volume within the structure while fully respecting zoning. The resulting form is a study in clean lines and glass uniquely placed within its setting with lush landscaping that softens its edges.
