Whale Cove

Perched high on a bluff overlooking Whale Cove, the house’s namesake, this project embraces classic shingle style design.  The house is a replacement for a tired summer cottage that had served its useful purpose.  The floor plan is designed with entertainment in mind, featuring a central dining room and butler’s pantry, connected to a formal living room yet separated from the large working kitchen.  Elaborate trim detailing and refined casework reflect the coastal Shingle Style heritage.  There are ancillary spaces that connect to gardens and active yard spaces including a conservatory and a library.   The result is a sophisticated yet comfortable living space for family gatherings and everyday life.
