Classic Beauty - A Shingle Syle in Massachusetts

Designed for a multi-generational family to enjoy for years to come, 这个新的静修处散发着一种历史悠久的氛围.

乍一看, this gracious Shingle Style home looks as though it’s been perched in its spot along the Massachusetts coastline for the last century or so. And that was precisely the intent, says architect Tom Catalano of 也包括建筑师. “We wanted the home to feel timeless and not be obvious that it’s a brand-new house now, 或者在75年后.” The homeowners’ vision was to build a generational summer retreat that they would enjoy with their children and future grandchildren.

专为家庭聚会而设计, the main home is equipped for entertaining large groups year-round; it also serves as a quiet place for the couple to unwind and work. With guest quarters located above the detached garage and a beach cottage that the husband uses as his office, each structure exists in harmony with each other and the landscape, 创造一个可爱的, 隐蔽的绿洲.

从正面看，这个家是温馨的. Blue shutters compliment the shingled exterior, and a glimpse of the ocean is visible as soon as one steps through the front door. Designed in a way that balances the orientation to the view with the correct orientation to the sun, the interior is constantly filled with natural light. With extensive millwork and decorated in shades of white, 蓝色的, 还有沙子的色调, 整个家有一种凝聚力, 然而，每个房间都有独特的吸引力.

In the kitchen, interior designer Barbara Kotzen of Kotzen Interiors LLC selected a gray and green Del Mare granite for the island and countertops, 带有塔索斯大理石马赛克后挡板. The same stone and backsplash are used in the pantry, 位于厨房旁边, where the homeowners store large appliances and an additional refrigerator. Across from the kitchen is a butler’s pantry and wet bar with translucent green quartzite countertops and a rippled mirrored mosaic backsplash, 被太阳照射时会发光.

Located in a flood zone, Catalano and Henry Ladd, principal of 霍德兰公司, worked to ensure the home is both resilient and energy-efficient. “Being attentive to the smallest details is the start of a high-performance home,拉德说。, 这个项目的主要建造者. “从窗户的安装方式来看, 到信封的细节, 一切都是空气密封的, it’s critical to monitor all those little details.”

Despite community restraints on construction between Memorial Day and Labor Day, 这项工程在两年内完成了. The dynamic team met regularly on-site to identify and develop design options, requiring an open line of communication and a level of trust. “The homeowners were a dream to work with and everyone was willing to listen to one another to move the project forward,卡塔拉诺说。. “It was a successful arrangement with mutual respect and clear expectations.”

The two-bedroom guest cottage is an idyllic spot for visiting family members and friends to stay.  Just outside the main house is an infinity pool, 户外露台, and expansive lawn that leads to the beach cottage, which was the only building that remains from the residence’s previous incarnation. 小屋的基本结构没有改变, but a stone fireplace and glass doors that open out to the water were added, creating a tranquil space perfectly positioned on the ocean.

Ornamental blooming plants along the parking court and front door add texture and color to the home. The same colors are reinforced along the water side, but slowly transition to more ornamental grasses and resilient shrubs that can withstand the ocean’s salt spray and seasonal storms.

A pitched wall surrounding the pool was designed to diminish wave action and the edge of the infinity pool was engineered to withstand tidal floods, according to landscape architect for the project Gregory Lombardi of Gregory Lombadi设计公司, who worked closely with Catalano designing a space that is fluid and open. “Tom understands how landscape interacts with architecture and that allows us to do our best work,隆巴迪说.
