MARTHA'S VINEYARD HOUSE

Renovation & Expansion

The major expansion of a quirky old beach house became a sculptural form abundant with light and the sharp lines of inverted gables and canted windows. The updated design opened the bedrooms skyward, while windows tilted outward like control towers, banishing glare and inviting sea breezes. The exterior lines of the house unfolded like origami, with porches and wings extending into space. Eccentric, joyful, and practical within its footprint, the house became an experiential retreat—part seaside home, part sculpture, and endlessly sought-after for summer living.

“Inverting the gables turns the house into origami. Suddenly you’re in the sea air, limitless and clear.”
