Salt Marsh Modern
This modern house is perched atop an elevated coastal site at the outermost tip of Cape Cod, where the large south-facing window walls open toward a salt marsh and a barrier beach about a half-mile away. The home’s footprint is highly constrained by the usual limitations of zoning, flood maps, septic setbacks and an unusual subsection of a historic district requiring modern design inspired by a noteworthy nearby mid-century residence. The resulting buildable footprint averages only 40 feet wide, yet the elevated position above the ever-changing tidal marsh feels vast.

Nannygai
‘Nannygai’ is a special family retreat located at Mulumba [Point Lookout] on Minjerribah [North Stradbroke Island]. The home was named by the owners for a fish species caught only on tropical holiday adventures. Akin to the spirit of the name, Nannygai was to embody the essence of journeying to a special place. It’s a physical and ideological retreat for gathering family and friends, celebrating food, bathing and creating lasting memories.
