This beautiful coastal home designed by Salt Architecture together with Martha’s Vineyard Interior Design overlooks Ryder’s Cove, a saltwater estuary located in North Chatham, Massachusetts. When constructing this home, the architects faced several permitting challenges, necessitating creativity, and compromise when positioning the house and detached garage along with the pool and decks.

Despite these challenges, the architects were able to successfully capitalize on the expansive water views on the north side of the dwelling while ensuring ample southern light inside. Continue below to see the rest of this spectacular home…
