Description provided by the architects: The Shore House was designed to capture both the intimacy of the wooded site and the expansiveness of the open water.

Designed for both large family events and as a private retreat, the water side of the Shore house is wrapped in large glass panels that open to a covered outdoor courtyard.

The language of detailing is both expansive and intimate: exploring the junction between abstract modernism and handcrafted materiality.

The house is located in North Haven, United States.
