This summer residence is conceived as a series of floating horizontal planes, inspired by leaves falling slowly through the breeze, filtering the southern light and opening to northern views of the ocean. Building in the town of Aquinnah on Martha's Vineyard entailed several design limitations, as did the modest budget.
I worked on this project at Maryann Thompson Architects developing the formal design, the structural & construction coordination of the volumes (rendering them buildable), the lighting design, on material and product research, on detailing the stairs and railings, on assisting clients in meetings with consultants and on construction administration. I also produced the presentation drawings and model. I worked on this project with Bill Pevear.
The images here belong to M.T.A. and, unless someone else is credited, I took/produced them.
