Located in a small established summer community the house faces the Atlantic Ocean on the east and a narrow cove on the west. The house is broken down into component parts with the main living spaces in a simple shed like volume and a two story bar for the more private functions. A single story connector between the two sides provide a recessed covered entry and a second floor terrace that offers elevated views of ocean and privacy from the street.

A guest house and small utility building, designed in a similar vocabulary, are arranged along the narrow site on a north and south axis.

All materials were selected for longevity and their ability to weather over time- the cladding is a combination of eastern white cedar and zinc coated copper.

The house received a LEED Platinum rating and with a combination of roof mounted and off site solar panels the house is net zero energy.
