Architectural Background

DESIGN CONCEPT

Provincetown is known for its rich and diverse community. It is the melting pot for different races, artists and LGBTQ+community. During the summer time various events are celebrated in the area. One of which is the “Family Week” which is the largest gathering of familes int he LGBTQ+ community in the world.

The architecture in Provincetown is deeply influenced by the New England style of building houses or otherwise known as Colonial architecture. A typical house has a pitched roof, one-three stories high and is made of wood.

The town has preserved its original architecture through out the years but since its the convertion to a LGBTQ hot spot, the facade has been made more colorful. The area is also close to the coast hence a lot of marine related themes and can be seen as a decor.
