Hutker Architects is responsible for designing this timeless beach house in a historic neighborhood on Martha’s Vineyard, an island in Massachusetts. The original home of the property was a beloved community fixture that succumbed to years of storms and deferred upkeep. The architects were tasked with creating a brand new home in its place, paying homage to the character of the original while adding gracious spaces for modern living and entertaining.

Traditional materials, installed with modern techniques, are poised to shoulder generations of wind and weather. Fixtures and furnishings from the previous house were reused wherever possible. Millwork and built-ins crafted by local artisans maintain a handmade feel throughout the house, while custom furnishings and curated antiques offer the feel of a space that a family has loved for years.
