Gay Head House

Topographical challenges can be the hardest and the most rewarding. This site was in a class by itself, one of the few Island locations with a wide view of both Vineyard Sound and the Atlantic. With great care we carved a building site from the steep, wooded hillside, moving tremendous amounts of earth but retaining many mature trees. High ceilings, full detailing, and sweeping glass walls yielded bright and airy rooms looking out across pool and view avoiding the “glorified basement” feel that plagues lower floors of many hillside houses.
