Chilmark Hill House

ChilHill_01

Fitting a robustly modern house into an exposed setting, regularly subjected to strong sun and extreme off-season weather, is a unique challenge. The steep roofs, shingled walls and modest glass of traditional New England building are time-tested antidotes to such conditions, but in this case they have been resoundingly rejected in favor of flat or shallow-sloped roofs, sweeping glass walls and unique exterior paneling. The weather is kept at bay with sunscreens, careful detailing, and good materials and workmanship.
