Small is, indeed, beautiful in this Nantucket cottage, where a mom, dad, and three youngsters enjoy carefree summers in a home tailor-made for family fun.

Thanks to the discerning eye of an architect with a penchant for old houses, a three-centuryold captain’s home is lovely once again.

Outside, this Nantucket house has the timeless good looks of its older neighbors. Inside, it adopts a breezy attitude that suits its role as a young family’s summer getaway.

An architect takes classic New England style in a fresh direction, introducing fluid lines and graceful curves that give an Orleans house the drama its stunning site deserves.

From the Editor

Hornick/Rivlin Studio

forward impatiently to that first crunchy-crisp morning of frost.

So all hail hot-season delights, particularly those to be savored in an area that so legendarily defines what summer leisure means: Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

Certain things, of course, have hardly changed since our grandparents’ times: surf and sand, the swish of a boat hull slicing through waves, that oh-sosatifying thump of a ball striking dead center in your racquet’s sweet spot, or wine, candlelight, and a bowl of mussels at day’s end. Yet other aspects of the Cape and islands lifestyle are ever-evolving, and that’s where New England Home Cape & Islands comes in. For, localized as the Cape and islands may seem geographically, they are home to a special design world, a group of architects, interior designers, custom builders, landscape firms, showrooms, workrooms, and boutiques that may have ties to Boston and New York and places further afield, but that still constitutes a local community with a real sense of place.

Each year, new families arrive to take part in the way of life offered by these favored square miles, and in creating homes for themselves add new design notes to the local landscape.

Each year, families that have been in residence for decades or generations find that their circumstances require a change of scale or layout, as the households of adult children must be accommodated or as former vacation cottages become the appointed sites for idyllic, yearround retirement. These alterations, too, affect the region’s built environment.

So that is what you can expect to see in these pages from year to year: an ongoing slice of residential design history, as it is experienced in this fortunate little corner of the world.

Local Style, Local Evolution

elcome to one of the more badly needed summers we’ve had here in New England. Around Memorial Day weekend, as this magazine begins to appear in mailboxes throughout the region, I anticipate that the ravening hunger among our fellow citizens and seasonal guests for light and warmth will still be acute, and the need to bask in long stretches of sunny weather and luxuriate in storybook vacation scenery will guarantee massive migrations across the Bourne and Sagamore bridges plus an incoming flock of ferries and evermultiplying flights bound for ACK and MVY (not to mention some intrepid pilots itching to try out the grass strip at Katama).

Should you find yourself reading these words much later in the season—in August, say— even then I doubt you’ll be in a huge hurry to jump into autumn’s social whirl, or be looking

retchen Romey-Tanzer holds in her hand an inspirational photograph she took: sunlight streams in through a window, segmented by a blind’s horizontal slats then curved and softened by a sheer curtain. Through all those layers, a bit of blue sky. “I like the idea of fugitive light, or reflected light, or shadows,” says

Romey-Tanzer, who then challenges herself to interpret that quality of light, color, and movement onto the vertical and horizontal confines of a loom. “In the weaving, I can’t do the wavy, but I can do the disjointed blocks,” she says.

The double-layer fabrics RomeyTanzer weaves, then hand stitches onto raw-linen canvas frames, feature not only “disjointed blocks,” but also gradated color fields and such control over the fibers as to evoke illusions of depth. “If people don’t stop to look at it, they think it’s a painting,” the Orleans-based artist says. But closer inspection reveals the warm texture, subtle patterns, and complexity of the

Within the piece’s pure yellow color but fellow weavers know how complex field, Romey-Tanzer plays with the concepts of Eve and the female body, resulting in the integration of seven distinct blocks of varying pattern and color.

“There’s a lot going on in each of those units,” she says.

Whether she is inspired by the sunset while crossing the Sagamore Bridge or a newspaper clipping of Buddhist monks in red robes, she distills that inspiration down to its most elemental, abstract,

non-emotional composition. For her, the graphic and sometimes bold style makes the best use of the weaving medium. “I like the crispness, I like the hard edge,” she says. “It fits with the structure.”

Romey-Tanzer, who has been the art department chair at Cape Cod Academy since 1993, began weaving in high school. She graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology’s School for American Crafts in 1975, furthered her education with two years of study at the Banff Center of Fine Arts in Alberta, Canada, then earned an MFA from Indiana University. Yet a year spent in Norway as a youth and an RIT junior-year abroad in Finland may have influenced her the most in pushing the artistic boundaries of what some conTOP LEFT: Rocks and Grass (2007), 60″W × 60″H; TOP RIGHT: Yellow Goddess (2013), 20″W × 48″H.

sider a craft. “It’s very much a Scandinavian thing to have a big weaving hanging on your wall,” she says. “I like to challenge the viewer to think of textiles as art. I like the idea of challenging people’s perceptions of what art should be.” The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, welcomed Romey-Tanzer’s work as art, adding Give and Take to its collection in 2003.

Romey-Tanzer finds that architects who design modern homes and commercial spaces are attracted to her graphic yet tactile work. “It’s a good counter-

point to steel and stone. The fabric adds a little humanizing quality,” she says.

Her work is also often used to add big splashes of color to neutral, voluminous spaces. “I’m always messing around with color,” she says. “In painting, if you mix opposites, you get the same kind of muddy brown color. In weaving, it always maintains its integrity—you can always see the colors.”

By approaching her work without emotion or figurative representation, she consciously allows viewers to imbue the piece with their own emotions and interpretations. “It’s an object. People should use it the way they want to,” she says. She has even stopped putting her signature on the front of her works, because she wants the owners to hang them in any direction they desire. •

Good things often come in small packages. Whether you’re looking for a gift for your weekend hosts or are in need of accessories for your own home, tiny Weekend offers a wide variety of possibilities, from serving pieces to tote bags, folding chairs to toss cushions, functional to purely decorative.

his past winter was long, cold, and gray enough to persuade even the most inveterate shoppers to peruse the web in lieu of a full-on, brick-and-mortar shopping spree. But once the sky turned blue and the trees blossomed, we couldn’t get outside fast enough. Our pent-up urge for shopping became impossible to tamp down. With temperatures nearing 70, we decided to troll the stores of the Outer Cape, home to the five outermost towns of Cape Cod—Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown—that hug the National Seashore.

Shopping on the Outer Cape is as charming and idiosyncratic as the region

itself. We found a plethora of places that specialize in helping people create beautiful homes, but we also discovered delightful shops that cater to all aspects of the good life, from supplies for entertaining to gourmet edibles to luxurious beauty

and grooming products.

We began by turning off Route 6 at Exit 12, and heading toward the center of Orleans. A little preplanning and a few conversations with like-minded shopaholic friends brought us to Weekend. This aptly named small shop is chock-a-block with anything you might need for a weekend on the Cape.

Tableware and linens for a dinner party; silver, wire-wrapped folding chairs for a picnic table; and an array of stuff for the kids such as pails and shovels to take to the beach and pipe cleaners and crayons in case of rain.

Our next stop was the Addison Art Gallery. Housed in a quintessential redclapboard cape overlooking Orleans Town Cove, the gallery features the work of local, national, and international artists.

Back in the car we made our way toward Eastham and the engaging, slightly wacky Buddha & Beads. If, like us, you like to roll up your sleeves and paw through piles of stuff in search of a treasure you didn’t know you needed, this is the place. There are almost no words to describe this small shop on Route 6 except to say, it’s a total blast. Yes, there are plenty of beads and Buddhas, but there are also antiques and vintage pieces for the home, pots and urns for the backyard patio, and a colorful collection of old, worn buoys.

On our way to postcard-perfect Wellfleet we made a quick pit stop at PB Boulangerie Bistro for one of its divine almond croissants before pulling into Susie Nielsen’s contemporary art and design gallery, Farm. Besides the gallery’s

Next door to Farm is the venerable Left Bank Gallery. Established in 1971, the gallery, a former American Legion Hall, showcases a rotating group of artists and craftspeople as well as functional wares for the home. Don’t miss the sculpture garden in the rear, with its wonderful mobiles by Arthur Bauman and its picturesque view of Duck Creek.

On our way into Provincetown we ­traveled through Truro, to our mind the most magical of the Outer Cape towns.

And though there are no stores to support our shopping habit, we did stop for a picnic lunch. Jam’s Gourmet ­Grocery makes perfect sandwiches, Mac’s ­Seafood boasts the freshest lobster, and, for dessert, the just-opened Chequessett Chocolate Shop and Cafe is divinely decadent.

Visitors can also tour the Truro

­Vineyards and their recently opened

distillery where, after twenty years of winemaking, they will be releasing their first liquor, 20 Boat Rum. Our final stop in Truro was Atlantic Spice, where we stocked up on herbs, spices, and teas, all in bulk and all at wholesale prices.

One of Provincetown’s many charms is its diversity. Come summer, a confluence of full-time residents, summer homeowners, vacationers, and day-trippers swell this town at the tip of Cape Cod from 3,000 to upwards of 60,000 people.

On any given summer day, Commercial Street, the main road that runs from the east to the west end, is jam-packed with shoppers, surfers, hawkers, hus-

tlers, moms, kids, dads, and dogs, all THERE’S jockeying for space MORE! You amid cars, trucks, can see additional images from this scooters, and shopping excursion skateboarders. on our website. Go to nehomemag.com Our first stop along Commercial Street was John Derian, a shop that sits at the back of Derian’s own Greek Revival house. A design guru among aficionados, Derian has an unerring eye, and his talent for uncovering the extraordinary is evident at his Provincetown location. There are Moroccan antique trays, French ceramics from Astier de Villatte, Hugo ­Guinness’s linoleum-cut prints in vintage frames,

and Derian’s own decoupage cachepots, paperweights, and plates.

A longtime fixture on Commercial Street is Utilities, a place filled with items for the kitchen, the dining room, and at-home entertaining. Whether you’re whipping up a tin of popovers for Sunday morning breakfast (6-Cup Popover Pan,

$18.99) or making a whiskey sour (OXO Cocktail Shaker, $29.99), or in need of the perfect gift for your host (Beekman 1803 Baak Onion Jam, $9.99), Utilities is the place to go.

The latest addition to Commercial Street’s hustle and bustle is Room 68. As diverse as Provincetown’s population, Room 68’s products—from furniture to decorative accessories—are at the crossroads of art and design.

At Century, celebrating its twentyfifth anniversary this year, owner Rene LeBlanc continues to curate a collection of colorful, well-designed pieces for the home and for the body along with one of the largest selections of reading glasses we’ve ever seen.

After ten years as a floral designer in Boston, Tom ­Rogers moved to Province­ town in 1996 to open WA, naming it for the Japanese word for harmony. WA offers a beautiful blend of home furnishings and accessories in a space that is serene and elegant.

As dusk was approaching and the day was getting away from us, we ran into Map (clothing, gifts, and some fun home accessories), Kiss and Make Up (cosmetics), and the recently opened Kiehl’s. Then, we grabbed a carob banana smoothie at 141 To Go and got ready for Provincetown’s Friday night gallery crawl. •

he homes on Nantucket vary in scale and style, but according to architect Lisa Botticelli, they’re all clad in one of two shells—traditional clapboard or white-cedar shingles that weather to dappled gray—with white trim. It’s a simple palette that gives the island its pleasing, painterly mien.

Siding aside, the houses here also share a bond with nature, fresh air, and the summer sun. This is especially true of one Pocomo-area haven designed by Botticelli & Pohl Architects of Nantucket.

“The goal is always summer,” says Botticelli of the vacation home. “The clients wanted the summer experience in every way.” They needed space for large family gatherings and they wanted to embrace

Sightlines were of paramount importance to the landscape design; a pergola in the side garden (top) frames the ubiquitous water view, while in front the vista plays peekaboo between the house and guest quarters (above).

the property’s natural surroundings. “At the same time, they wanted the house to be cozy,” says the architect. To that end, Botticelli mapped out a spacious house that still feels intimate, one with lots of windows, porches, and away spaces.

It’s the surrounding landscape design that takes the longed-for summer experience to the next level. “The homeowners wanted lots of places for privacy and they wanted to take advantage of the view whenever and wherever they could,” says landscape architect Michael D. Picard of Sudbury Design Group in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

Picard and his team came on board

Picard asked the architect to move the cabana. “The better view was to the right as you look at the water, because that is a piece of conservation land.” only after the site plan was firmed up.

They designed the entire landscape—from sweeping lawns and bountiful hydrangea bushes to brick walkways and generously scaled honeysuckle hedges—within the parameters of existing (or soon to be existing) structures. Thus they had to work around the main house, with its expansive deck, garage and adjoining guest quarters, tennis court, and pool and cabana. “There were already strong relationships between

the buildings, so we placed everything in a very purposeful way,” says Picard.

He did ask that the cabana be moved.

“The better view was to the right as you look at the water, because that is a piece of conservation land,” he explains. “To the left is the closest neighbor, so when we flipped the cabana to the opposite side of the pool, we improved the view and put in a little buffer.”

In front, a practical pea-stone driveway culminates in a sixty-foot-wide circle (allowing for While geometry informed the overall program, the landscape architect was careful to soften the lines between hardscape and plantings.

The pool (right) was an integral part of the site plan, but the homeowners insisted on a simple stone surround. A Connecticut white-line fieldstone wall (below) appears dry-laid from the front, but it’s mortared in back for stability.

The driveway is enhanced by patterns of cobblestones in the apron, the border, and a center catch basin.

Probably the most challenging feature of the project (and one that required approvals by the historic commission) was the tennis court. “Because a tennis court has to face north-south, there

weren’t many options as to where it could go,� says Botticelli. And because the only logical place for it was in front of the property, Picard’s mission was to make it disappear. “It’s right there when you drive in, but you wouldn’t know it,� he says. “We heavily screened it with a privet hedge, and essentially sneaked it in through a grove of pines.�

requirements. The pool—lowered slightly to improve the view to the water—was integral to the home in many ways. It is the centerpiece of the scene, but the cli-

ents didn’t want it to “hit you in the face,” Botticelli says. The requisite fencing is screened by a deep hedge, while the pool’s importance is heralded by an exquisite

ornamental gate.

Leaving no stone unturned, Picard checked off the rest of the client’s punch list with ease: terraces, sitting areas, lawns, a spa, an outdoor shower, cutting garden, and access to the water.

And he never lost sight of the big picture, the reason why people come to Nantucket: the water. The view unfolds slowly, from the shade of the pergola on the deck, across the bluestone path, to the pool and its surrounding hedges, to the sheltering stone wall, to the boardwalk on the bluff, to the staircase, to the beach, and, finally, to the sea. • Resources For more information about this project, see page 127.

lives here made do with a two-bedroom cottage until one of the children took matters into his own little hands. The parents planned to renovate their summer place eventually, but their three-year-old unexpectedly sped things along when he threw a flip-flop onto the roof one sunny afternoon. “It was the only pair of shoes we had left for him on vacation,” recalls his mother, who’d lost count of how many flip-flops had disappeared during trips to the beach.

The cottage’s low roof didn’t pose much of a challenge for her husband. But when he scaled the roof to retrieve the tiny shoe, he saw an expansive view of Jetties Beach and beyond. Once back on solid ground, he was eager to move up the family’s renova-

tion timetable and take advantage of what could be the site’s best feature.

The husband, who has summered on Nantucket since childhood, and his wife had initially been drawn to the property because of its location. “It’s a couple of steps from the beach and about a mile from town.

With three kids, the idea of packing them up to go to the beach or into town was a lot of work,” explains the mother, who appreciated the cottage’s proximity to both sandy shores and Main Street.

They’d previously enlisted architect Mark Cutone of Nantucket-based BPC Architecture to help them renovate a small studio on the property, and when the couple told him about the breathtaking views they’d discovered, a plan for reworking the existing Summer 2014 New eNglaNd Home Cape & IslaNds 61

cottage to craft a new upside-down house quickly began to take shape. The lower level would hold the family’s bedrooms, while a second-floor living space would capture the newly discovered views.

Given a footprint of only about 1,200 square feet to fit a family of five, Cutone found clever ways to take advantage of every square inch, using built-ins, storage nooks, and sliding doors to save space. In this house, everything serves a purpose. An outdoor porch that wraps three sides of the house affords additional living space, as does a second-floor dining porch. A window seat gets cushioned for extra seating around the dining table. Driftwood-hued walls cloak an intimate study accessible through a concealed door adjacent to the wet bar—Cutone calls it “a hidden jewel box”—that houses a home office, TV area, and powder room and pulls double-duty as a guest suite when friends and family visit.

With sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood and long-standing building traditions on the island, Cutone paid special attention to siting, scale, height, texture, and materials. “We tried to create something that looked like it had been there a hundred years,” he says.

It may look like it’s been there a century, but the process of erecting it was remarkably short, says

builder Dwyer Maloney. “We knocked down the old structure in the fall and finished late the following summer,” he says. “Originally we didn’t expect the work on the cottage to be so extensive, but we found rot, so we had to rebuild from the ground up.”

The interiors have a similar turnof-the-century aesthetic but with a fresh, modern twist. Many design elements honor the island’s maritime history, such as shiplap-clad walls, stainless-steel cable rails, and a beach-inspired palette of sand and driftwood hues. “The interior is not unlike a cottage of a hundred years ago,” says Cutone. “We just played with scale and the way we used materials; we manipulated things a little.”

With two previous home restorations and an introductory interior design class under her belt, the wife was deeply involved with design decisions from the start.

Nantucket-based interior designer Donna Elle joined the team later in the process, but was able to seamlessly blend in her ideas with those already at work. “I have a sensibility for understanding where and what the clients’ needs are and can work within their parameters,” says Elle.

“I can jump in at any point in time during a project to get it finished.”

“The whole Nantucket cometogether spirit was behind this house,” says the owner.

Among Elle’s contributions was the choice of one of Benjamin Moore’s most popular shades of white for the majority of the interior wall space—but used in an unexpected way: “Usually the trim is done in White Dove, but I did the walls in that color and the trim in Calm, which has a gray overcast to it that pops in a very modern, clean, austere way,” explains Elle. To minimize glare on the six-over-one windows and better frame the outside view, she painted sashes a deep marine navy.

None of the design choices wander far from the home’s primary purpose of being a welcoming, family-friendly summer retreat. Stray grains of sand go unnoticed on white oak floors stained with hints of silver and gray; Louis Ghost chairs are whimsical and easy to wipe down; a dark area rug in the living room hides accidental spills; bunk beds make extra space for sleepovers; and indoor/outdoor-fabric slipcovers offer added insurance for the homeowners’ brave choice of white couches. “People freak out at white, but it’s the most user-friendly fabric in the world,” says Elle. “You can wash it and bleach it and it’ll come back looking new. It’s very user-friendly.”

In the living room, low-backed couches and chairs allow unobstructed views to the beach beyond.

The adjacent kitchen and dining areas are equally unobtrusive, with the marble-topped kitchen island and counters and long, weathered-wood dining table kept at the level of the window ledge. Stainless-steel shelving in the kitchen is purposely kept open so that guests know where everything belongs and feel welcome to help themselves, reinforcing a spirit of hospitality for which the island is known.

On a clear day, family and friends relaxing in the living room can see all the way to Great Point Light; the twice-rebuilt beacon at the northernmost tip of the island has a rich history of offering safe passage to those visiting its shores.

After two summers and counting, this happy family of five has settled into its new home and counts itself lucky to be part of Nantucket’s past, present, and future.• RESOURCES For more information about this home, see page 127.

SAVING GRACE THANKS TO THE DISCERNING EYE OF AN ARCHITECT WITH A PENCHANT FOR OLD HOUSES, A THREE-CENTURY-OLD CAPTAIN’S HOME IS LOVELY ONCE AGAIN.

mix of antiques, vintage pieces, and new furniture like the wing chairs from Restoration Hardware. With its white cabinetry and nickel hardware, the kitchen has an appropriately nautical look. The sofa in the sitting area next to the open kitchen tucks into a new bay window.

Three centuries ago, a man built a stately house—a mark of his success as a ship’s captain—on Martha’s Vineyard. It was a fine dwelling with a clapboard front and cedar-shingled sides, and it stood proudly at the heart of the bustling community that today is downtown Edgartown.

Three hundred years is a long stretch, though, and by the time Dudley Cannada came across the house, it didn’t look quite so grand. Changes wrought by a succession of owners had diluted its Colonial-era stylistic pedigree, while modernizations like wiring and plumbing had compromised the structure to such a degree

that the house had sunk as much as eight inches in one corner. “It had some major deterioration,” the architect says. “It hadn’t been occupied for many years.”

Luckily, Cannada, who has offices in Edgartown and in Washington, D.C., is a self-professed “old-house guy,” a preservation architect who has spent the larger part of his career renovating historic buildings. He knew a gem when he saw it. He recognized a lingering touch of grandeur in the sagging yellow-pine floorboards, the crumbling window frames, and the loose clapboards. He and his partner, Washington, D.C.,

physician Russell Bridges, felt sure that with some loving care and expert help, the 4,300-square-foot house would make a perfect retreat.

The men called in Hob Knob Construction, an Edgartown firm experienced in historic renovation, to undertake the restoration, which included building an entirely new foundation. “The hardest part was getting underneath the building to get the foundation in,” says Hob Knob owner Margaret H. White.

“It’s in a tight little area, so the logistics were tricky.

We secured the house in place, then dug under it with little bulldozers. We ended up doing a lot of the digging by hand.”

CI14 Cannada-Edgartown.indd 71

5/6/14 8:58 PM

Once the foundation was in place, the crew gutted the building’s interior so they could reinforce the frame, add insulation, and replace all the wiring and plumbing. “We built a new house inside the old shell,” Cannada explains.

Back outside, the team referred to 1920s photos of the house as they worked to restore the front facade.

They replicated the Greek-Revival portico in the photos, and brought the first-floor windows, which had been enlarged, back to their original size. Three new second-floor windows were fitted into original frames, and a large dormer added in the mid1900s was reduced to a more graceful scale. On one of the shingled sides of the house, Cannada added a twostory bay to bring in more light.

Colonial-era houses typically had shingled sides and back with a clapboard front, Cannada says. “Clapboard was more expensive and was used only on fancier houses and only for the front,” he explains. “Today, of course, cedar shingles are more expensive.”

Cannada and Bridges designed the landscaping themselves. “We’re both interested in plants,”

Cannada says. “We made it up as we went along.”

The men kept the front landscaping simple, using a variety of boxwoods instead of grass because, says the architect, “it looks nice all winter long.” Two oakleaf holly bushes stand tall at A favorite sleeping space is a narrow room either front corner, chosen their resistance to the toe-to-toe bunks tuck into a nook with walls for ravages of salty winds.

In decorating, the men aimed for just the sort of carefree, casual ambience an island house should have.

Walls painted a sandy hue make a quiet backdrop to a collection of furniture that mixes vintage pieces (what Cannada modestly refers to as “used”) from estate sales, auctions, and eBay with new pieces selected for comfort and easy maintenance. The entry hall, for instance,

Uniting the first-floor rooms are the original pine floorboards, removed and planed then reinstalled

wearing a glossy, dark stain that imbues the space with warmth. For help with window treatments and other decorative elements, John Murphy and Helen Koch of Tracker Home Decor lent their expertise.

Cannada confesses that the living room is used mostly by people seeking a quiet place to make a cell phone call. More popular gathering spots are the sunlit sitting area, which abuts the open kitchen, and the covered porch. The latter is a natural draw in summer, given that it overlooks the little Eden of a backyard that includes a swimming pool and gardens and is so private and quiet, Cannada says, guests don’t suspect that a large, busy restaurant sits just the other side of the boxwood hedges. Even in cooler weather, though, people gravitate to the porch. Because it’s enclosed

on three sides, it’s protected from the wind, while a big fireplace with a surround crafted from old granite curbstones that once lined Edgartown streets throws plenty of warmth.

The bedrooms are simply, but charmingly, outfitted. A favorite sleeping space, Cannada says, is a narrow room where toe-to-toe bunks tuck into a nook with walls and ceiling clad in Nantucket beadboard. The shipshape spot is part of a little suite that includes the Chappy room (named for the nearby island of Chappaquiddick).

If he could see it now, that ship’s captain of long ago would notice a few changes to his old house. But he would surely agree that it’s as grand as ever. • Resources For more information about this home, see page 127.

uildable lots rarely become available in Nantucket’s Brant Point, the idyllic, highly sought-after area known for the historic lighthouse that welcomes ferry travelers to the island. So the owners of this new house considered themselves quite lucky when they happened upon this precious parcel just a stroll from both beach and town and blessed with views of Nantucket Sound.

The couple, who have summered on Nantucket for years, had definite ideas for their retreat. They craved a home that was spacious but efficient, with

a clean, open plan, says Kathleen Hay, their interior designer. “There are four young children in the family.

Everyone needed to be comfortable and have their own space,” says Hay. “But they didn’t want a huge, cavernous house.”

In deference to the island’s iconic building style, the couple also insisted that their home fit within the local architectural vocabulary. Architect Chip Webster strove to design a residence that, as he says, “struck a happy medium between contemporary style and traditional Nantucket.”

Several site constraints called for clever design decisions. The home’s proximity to the ocean required the first level to be raised, while height restrictions dictated that the structure could be only one-anda-half stories tall. Webster put the kitchen, living, and dining areas, as well as two bedroom suites, on the second level. The lower level is devoted to children’s bedrooms and a central family room. “Since the family does most of its living upstairs, we needed to create a fully usable second story,” says Webster. “It’s a challenge to design big, open, light-filled spaces that conform to traditional vocabulary. One way of doing that is to play with scale.”

To maximize light and headroom on the second floor, Webster made dormers and windows larger than is typical. “But they are in scale with the exterior of the house so they don’t feel overwhelming,” the architect explains.

Inside, the larger windows and dormers, paired with fourteenfoot cathedral ceilings and arranged around the open layout, give the space an airy feel.

With its gracious front porch, cedar shingles, and whitetrimmed six-over-six windows, the 3,700-square-foot home exudes a timeless appeal. Inside, Webster collaborated with Hay to offer contemporary interpreta LEFT: The living room’s wool rug looks like sisal but is softer on the feet and easier to clean. Natural materials, such as the water hyacinth used for a swivel chair and the woven rush surface under the glass on top of the coffee table, add texture.

tions of traditional treatments that give the home a clean, modern flow.

Some walls are sheathed with horizontal shiplap paneling, a detail that harkens back to Nantucket’s early residences. “In the first houses the Quakers built on the island, they would typically put their energy and resources into paneling one focal point, like the fireplace,” says Webster. Here, the gas fireplace in the living room has a decidedly contemporary feel, ABOVE: Pendants of milk glass and with its stainless-steel polished nickel add to the nautical ambisurround.

The kitchen’s cabinets were inspired by the Shaker style used on the island during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but paired with the room’s modern detailing—Caesarstone counters, frostedglass backsplash, and pendants of polished nickel and

milk glass—they take on a contemporary feel.

The ceiling is sheathed with flat wood panels that relate to the cabinet design and give the space distinction. “It was important that the kitchen be open and prominent, yet it needed to feel like its own space,” says Webster. “The different ceiling treatment reinforces that.”

Walls are sheathed with horizontal shiplap paneling, a detail that harkens back to Nantucket’s early residences.

Intent on using space in the most efficient way possible, Hay and Webster conceived several built-ins around the house. When challenged to accommodate a king-size bed in a modest second-floor bedroom, the duo sought inspiration from the tight quarters of a ship. The sole piece of furniture in the closetless room, the bed has a built-in base fitted with drawers.

The continuous piece connects with tiny nightstands on either side that adjoin cabinets that offer space for hanging clothes. “The room is small, but it’s also tall, so it feels larger,” says Hay, who made the room cohesive and cozy by sheathing the contours of the ceiling with the same Phillip Jeffries grasscloth covering that adorns the walls. In the family room, a daybed Summer 2014 New England Home Cape & Islands 83

is surrounded by built-in cabinets, drawers, and bookshelves that conceal the home’s mechanicals.

A subtle, predominantly neutral color palette prevails. Floors are pickled white oak with a bleached finish, and walls are painted bright white.

Dark wood finishes and jolts of color, such as the deep-red, patterned seat cushions in the dining room and the orange herringbone bolsters in the family room, add energy.

Hay’s design scheme suits both kids and adults.

“We made durable selections with family and guests in mind, but things are also sophisticated,” she explains. In the living room, for instance, she installed a generous sectional upholstered in a kid-friendly woven cotton-viscose blend. Lounge chairs, ottomans, the rug, and decorative accents all wear hues in the

Facing page: A backyard dining area has the same natural but sophistithrows with a cated look as the home’s interior.

The decor isn’t overly beachy, but refined nautical references abound, including an arresting trove of rare sea treasures and several coastal landscape paintings

by Provincetown artist Anne Packard.

The homeowners had fallen in love with a bunk room Hay designed for another home and asked that she create a similar one for their children. Hay and Webster envisioned four generous bunks, white wood-paneled walls, and a ceiling painted a deep navy hue. With stainless-steel rails, mahogany ladders, and nifty open portholes, the room conveys a sense of fun that the children find delightful.

“The house is fresh and youthful but still sophisticated and contemporary,” says Hay. “It suits the whole family.” • Resources For more information about this home, see page 127.

ome people say architect Philip Johnson faked the tears he shed upon seeing Spain’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao for the first time. Others insist his reaction was heartfelt and that the building, one of the twentieth-century’s most important, struck a deep chord because of its sweeping curves. Studies show people respond to curves on an emotional level, though the reasons why have yet to be explained.

One thing is for certain: the owners of this Cape Cod home adore their light-filled house and its view-expanding, livability-enhancing curves. Osterville, Massachusetts–based architect Doreve Nicholaeff is known for her skill at incorporating fluid curves to create contained sculptural spaces that are—as she describes them—“quiet, calming, and special.” Special in that they speak directly to her clients’ lifestyle and dreams, as they do here.

Charged with devising a retreat on a magnificent Orleans property (the kind artists swoon over) that could one day become the owner’s retirement destination, Nicholeaff unleashed her imagination. The couple wanted an inviting house to share with friends and with their

three grown children (and perhaps, eventually, grandchildren). But they also longed for a home that would feel comfortable, “never cavernous” when they were alone, says the wife. Hardly an

“We don’t know how Doreve managed to make it simultaneously open and cozy,” says the wife with delight.

A soffit helps delineate the cooking area in the open kitchen, while the curved counter creates a nook for the breakfast area.

easy feat, but the final composition meets their criteria miraculously, providing intimate areas within a stunning modern plan.

Unstymied by height restrictions, the masterful architect fashioned a solar-thermal house that incorporates a series of level changes culminating in a widow’s walk and a sky-embracing deck. Visitors coming up the drive recognize traditional New England shapes, though they’ve been given a fresh spin. The architect uses every opportunity to connect with the outdoors. And as if in welcome, tiered windows curve gently outward between the front facade’s twin gable ends. The windows flank a staircase that, says the wife, “is a work of art.”

More than just a means of conveying people

from spot to spot, the stairs unfold “like a journey,” says Nicholaeff. The back and forth, the clever change of direction, adds drama without increasing the building’s height. The stairs begin at basement level and morph into a graceful doublestair that climbs to a northfacing landing and on to the second floor. A half-level above the second floor is the south-facing studio. Steps in the studio lead to the widow’s walk and an exterior landing with double stairs ascending to the panoramic rooftop deck. Islands, channels, inlets—the scene is dazzling.

In fact, according to Nicholaeff, the rich setting made it a challenge to figure out how best to position rooms so that their function and views would relate.

Case in point is the kitchen, which repeats the rounded theme established at the front of the house. Since both spouses are passionate cooks, the layout was important: “We wanted to work and still be connected with our family,” says the husband.

The kitchen’s generous, ergonomically friendly island forms a semicircle. The outside edge is the cook’s territory.

The breakfast area nestles into the middle of the semicircle, facing the curving windows on the opposite side. Radiating to the left and right are the living room and dining room, respectively. The wings embrace the landscape and shelter a harmoniously curved covered porch in between.

The owners are amazed that their kitchen offers up spectacular views and lets them see through to both ends of the house. That it still feels right when there’s just the two of them sharing meals is even more remarkable. “We don’t know how Doreve managed to make it simultaneously open and cozy,” says the wife with delight.

The second level has the same deft balance of privacy and adaptability. The secluded master suite—complete with rounded bath and covered porch—is set above the living room, while a spacious guest bedroom resides at the opposite end of the floor, above the dining room. The latter shares an adjoining bath with yet another guest

A granite stepping-stone path with a simple perennial border leads to a side entrance. FACING PAGE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: “The home’s cuttingedge curves were a challenge, but the owners are so nice, we all felt a responsibility to do our best,” says builder Brian Vona of Kenneth Vona Construction. Poolside plantings skillfully dovetail with the natural landscape beyond. A plinth elevating the pool safeguards views for swimmers and loungers and eliminates the need for a fence. An Indian granite counter frames the outdoor kitchen.

room, while two more quarters for weekenders sit above the connected, three-bay garage.

Topping it all off, Boston interior designer Manuel de Santaren concocted a perfect blend of old and new, marrying antiques and artwork from the owners’ collection with a variety of contemporary upholstered pieces. The palette—from the window-lined living room to the owners’ bedroom—is soft and neutral, with a spattering

of blue accents to riff on the shore location. “We wanted to honor nature, not compete with her,” de Santaren says.

Indeed, Cambridge, Massachusetts–based landscape architect Gregory Lombardi labels the site “inspirational.” Such a paradise, though, doesn’t come without challenges. Lombardi was charged—along with the project’s senior landscape architect, Rob C ­ alderaro—with not only forging a complementary setting for the architecture but satisfying myriad environmental regulations as well. Maintaining the stability of the coastal bank and providing a habitat for wildlife were as crucial as maximizing vistas. Lombardi and Calderaro accomplished all that and more. Invasive species were removed, and native plants introduced. Many existing trees were carefully preserved, and recruits that withstand salt and wind were added to the mix. A parade of lindens and a picket fence mark the pool’s upper edge. But it’s the four-anda-half-foot retaining wall that defines the lower edge—hidden behind masses of flowering perennials and shrubs and doing its job without calling attention to itself or obstructing the views from pool, spa, or chaise—that is most ingenuous.

Watching seabirds soar or seals assemble on the distant rocks, the family is content. In fact, endings simply don’t get any better. The experts who made it happen attribute the fabulous outcome to the interested and involved owners. And the owners have nothing but praise for each and every one of them in return. • Resources For more information about this home, see page 127.

Sketch Pad

Design ideas in the making

We like to incorporate ornamental garden elements to integrate outdoor living spaces with the established architecture of a property. On this job, our client installed a pool and accompanying cabana behind an existing guesthouse. The challenge was to create a landscape design that seamlessly interlaced the two structures, the new pool, and the space in between. To this end, we proposed a gentle, S-shaped path extending from the guesthouse to the cabana. On the path’s approach to the cabana we added a curved, L-shaped pergola (designed after an existing pergola over the porch of the property’s main house)—creating, overall, a bridge unifying the old and new, as well as making a festive garden backdrop for poolside dining. This ornamental garden structure, in concert with lush plantings, created an outdoor oasis that seems as if it has been there forever.
