MEADOW HOUSE

Unlike most projects we have worked on, this house does not pay homage to an awe-inspiring water view. Instead, it melts without pretense into a pastoral meadow bordered by stone fences, recalling the Island’s roots in farming and sheep herding. Accordingly, this house literally grows out of its site. In places the roofs nearly meet the ground, and except for painted windows and brick chimneys topped with 250-pound clay pots, the exterior is all weathered wood.
