Shingle Style on the Sound
What makes Charles Hilton Architects’ traditional—and spectacular—Shingle Style new construction on a cove on Long Island Sound a “new” classic? “It’s the kind of spaces and the circulation” of the picturesque waterfront estate, explains principal Charles Hilton, and how the home lives. While the client asked for a “traditional old New England home...

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. The original shingle gable structure was functional but lacked focus and didn’t showcase the property’s extraordinary views to the extent that it could. An exterior modification, addition and renovation gave the...

The New Classics:
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...

California-Style Dream
High atop a bluff in North Truro, Cape Associates has crafted a vision in red cedar and glass that epitomizes modern summer style. While the flat-roofed beach house may be more Hollywood Hills than ol’ Cape Cod, the coastal retreat is deeply rooted in its Northeastern site, and it is fabulous. Designed by Falmouth architect Jill Neubauer of Jill...

Killer Views
Architectural Design heightened the summer beach experience for the owners of a Shingle Style Cape Cod home on Nantucket Sound, and its views were the driving force behind the renovation. The vacation getaway in Mashpee hugs the water’s edge and certainly has location on its side—you couldn’t build on that site today. “You’d probably have to build 50 feet...

The Maine Event
Rob Bramhall Architects’ charming cottage on the coast of Maine is proof positive that kids shouldn’t have all the fun. Awash with sunlight and a summer breeze sensibility, the multilevel vacation home is the grown-up answer to that childhood tree house, and it’s perfect. Perched atop a steep slope, surrounded by trees and wildflowers, this cheerful...
