Cedar Gable Cottage Provides a Great Escape on Martha’s Vineyard

Jacob Lilley Architects has designed this cedar gable cottage perched on a hill that boasts sweeping ocean views in Chilmark, a town on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

The house is designed as a cluster of four small cedar-gable cottages with a flat-roofed living space at the center. 

Each contains its own program from the dining room to the primary suite and is purposefully located to define an open living space.

The glass walls of the living area retract completely into the wall to open the space to the landscape.

Panels of vertical cedar siding flank the opening from the living space to the dining room. The peaked oak ceiling and gabled wall reflect the form of the cottages.

The axis through the principal suite terminates in an outdoor shower. Floor-to-ceiling glass in the bedroom and bath opens those spaces to the landscape.

Wicker basket chairs suspended from a grid between two cottages provide a secluded outdoor retreat.
