This home sits tucked into a very small lot that backs up to a salt marsh in North Falmouth, MA. The simple off-set double gable massing references its context within a highly seasonal beach neighborhood filled with traditional cottages. Working with a very limited footprint due to conservation setbacks and a modest budget, this project quietly hits all the high notes of a light, bright and open living space. This house was designed for a client with restricted mobility which called for creativity and efficiency to make the first floor wheelchair accessible in the face of tight square footage.

Energy efficient aspects of this home include above code R values with continuous exterior insulation and PV ready orientation and pre-wire.
