The New Classics:
Cliffside
In the hands of Jan Gleysteen Architects, a somewhat underwhelming oceanfront home built in the 1980s in New Seabury became an instant classic with a twist.

Edge Hill Residence
For a new construction in the bucolic neighborhood of Wellesley Farms, Patrick Ahearn Architect designed a traditional new home that is seamlessly woven into the neighborhood fabric, entrenched and at peace with the surrounding homes that were built in the 1920s and 1930s. “We wanted the house to fit and feel like it was an original house,” says the firm’s...
