Starbuck Neck House

1_Starbuck_Wide

Extreme exposure to the elements was a key consideration in building this house with 180-degree views of Vineyard Sound. A contemporary edition of the shingle style, the house has columns made of composite marble dust and resin. Before shingling, exterior walls were layered with ice and water-shielding material. Brickwork, dentil courses, newel posts, railings and cabinetry were chosen for period authenticity, with the added benefit of modern-day weatherproofing technology.
