With panoramic views of Massachusetts Bay, a private beach, and rugged granite outcroppings, this lot is one of a kind. This project was no ordinary undertaking: the house needed to be worthy of its exceptional site, yet seem like such a natural extension of its surroundings that it set the family at ease. Once part of a larger estate, the parcel already contained a beach house almost as striking as the ocean view it commanded. The clients wanted the main house to be just as breath-taking, but also to embrace and respect their austere lifestyle.

In the end, the collaboration between the firm, the homeowners, and the builders produced a home that perches on the heights overlooking the ocean. Inside, it is temperate, safe and eminently livable, and each interior space frames and interacts with its natural surroundings.
