Joining the Fun

A creative husband and wife enlist a team of Martha’s Vineyard design pros to create the perfect island home for the couple’s blended family.

That deep-blue ring of water that surrounds an island offers a sense of separateness from the world. Away from mainland troubles, anxiety dissipates, leaving the giddy feeling of freedom.

Island Village Compound was featured in New England Home, Cape & Islands Summer 2016 issue.
