The project
MESH Architectures designed this family house on a long, slender bluff site above Long Island Sound, where a fishing cottage once stood. The design defers the water view: from the road there is no sign of the sound, and views open up through the house as you approach.
A split roof forms a large clerestory of dichroic glass that casts shifting colour into the stair and main bedroom. The three-bedroom house was built to passive house principles, with triple glazing and geothermal heating and cooling and no gas. It was completed in 2021.
The screened porch and broad steps down to the lawn.
The kitchen and dining area with a patterned tile floor.
A study with a desk looking out to the water.
