Balanced Contemporary Appeal of a Summer Cottage in Massachusetts
A dilapidated cottage located along the rocky shores of Boston Harbor in Massachusetts was renovated and was turned into a stunning home. It has an exterior facade that was re-clad in hand-cut fieldstone creating a natural extension of the rocky shores around the home. The house is a two-storey home with a dramatic 180-degree view of the harbor and skyline. The design of the house is like a lighthouse with a tower that has high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows.
This summer cottage has contemporary roof forms wherein the historic New England heritage is “balanced with modern massing, yet recalled.” The interior of the house showcases modern, clean lines, wooden flooring and unparalleled views. The interior is very intimate and relaxing. The fieldstone used from the exterior is wrapped into the interior wherein a beautiful window wall spills out onto the exterior deck beyond it. It also features a powder room that showcases a private accessible outdoor shower that creates a relaxed atmosphere.












This lovely summer cottage is designed by VIF Studio. The cottage is said to be configured in order to provide complete networkability and remote monitoring and control of all the home’s systems. Also, it used materials and fixtures that were selected to give a balance luxury, usability, and durability. Well, for sure you have seen that balance and luxury in this space both in the exterior and interior areas of the house.
