"The design for this home is derived from the challenges of building on a remote island in the Northeast with very limited access to tradespeople and building materials. With no cargo boat or barge access to the island, all equipment and materials must arrive by passenger ferry within strict size and weight limits. The home on a coastal bluff must also be durable to withstand violent storms and simple to repair due to the limited access to tradespeople."

Design responds to severe logistical constraints of a remote Northeast island with very limited access to tradespeople and building materials. All equipment and materials must arrive by passenger ferry because no cargo boat or barge access exists, imposing strict size and weight limits. The house sits on a coastal bluff and must resist violent storms through durable construction. Simplicity of form and detailing enables repairs with limited skilled labor. Component choices and assembly methods prioritize maintainability, storm resilience, and compliance with transport restrictions.
