What it was

We had an incredible piece of land…now what?  New canvas…not exactly furniture, but much bigger, something that creative teeth could really sink into.  A road was a good start, one that wound through 1/4 mile of woods to open up onto a vista of granite cliffs stepping 150′ down to the water.  Six hundred feet of waterfront, deep water, privacy.  A good start.

We had a vision of a modern bird wing structure that cantilevered over the cliff.  This was going to be a house all about the view.  A structural engineer was brought in at this point and players that were willing to see beyond the usual house construction in that neck of the woods.

We designed the house, blueprints were made by a local drafting company and construction began in August 2010.  With the value of local tradesmen, some daunting and untested tasks were accomplished.  The use of steel in this area was new to the house builders and our house relied on it for its drama.  We all had to learn together how to integrate this new material.  By the end of August, our bird’s wing was flying.
