NANTUCKET ISLAND HOUSE, GUESTHOUSE & STUDIO - completed at Treacy & Eagleburger Architects

Located on a beautiful spit of land on Nantucket Island, this new house is wedged between saltwater marshes, tidal wetlands and the Nantucket Harbor. The design strategy references the connected farm complexes of New England, recalling earlier years of local sheep farming. Using this precedent, a narrative was developed to create a plausible but factitious history of the site and its buildings, and how they could have evolved over time. This strategy mitigates the size and scale of the buildings and their imprint on the land, and imbues an authenticity that blurs time and the newness of the work.
