This family compound was composed of a new house as well as the outbuildings housing guest and staff quarters and garage, which together with a stone pool pavilion, create a small camp or compound nestled between the main house and the beach.
In keeping with the effort to restore the land to its historic character and complement the new architecture, we carefully studied the vernacular of landscapes on the island. Scope of work included editing of the site to open views to the ocean and remove invasive species, introduce a meadow, orchard, pool and outdoor kitchen, vegetable garden, plantings for each area, and restoring a pond after fifty years of neglect.
