This beautiful shingle-style waterfront house was designed and built by John Dvorsack Architect together with McPhee Associates, located in Falmouth, a town on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Created as a seasonal retreat, this dwelling showcases the ocean views front and center on the interior while offering a waterfront living space on the exterior.
The architect designed a classic shingle-style house characterized by asymmetrical rooflines and dormers, with a Craftsman-style influence. The design provides panoramic ocean views from every room in the main part of the house, as well as space for a large granite patio and built-in saltwater pool outside—none of it overdone to emphasize the view.

What We Love: This shingle-style waterfront house offers its inhabitants an escape with the ultimate in relaxation and comfort. The interiors were beautifully designed to complement the seaside views. We love how the residence offers private spaces to retreat along with comfortable and inviting common living spaces to gather. Each room exudes a sense of relaxed elegance, enhanced by a soothing neutral color palette and subtle nautical accents.
