Set on a family property in Martha’s Vineyard, this single-level home is designed as a quiet summer retreat and future year-round residence. Vaulted ceilings lift the main living spaces, creating an open interior shaped by light and long views through the house.

The plan separates the sleeping wing from the main gathering spaces, allowing the home to host friends and family while preserving quieter areas for rest. Circulation and acoustic separation help maintain this balance between activity and privacy.

The exterior draws from the island’s vernacular, using cedar shingles and restrained detailing to settle naturally into its surroundings. The result is a home that feels both familiar and carefully considered—connected to the landscape while supporting relaxed seasonal living.
