New Home. Chatham, MA

This new Chatham home was built by Cape Associates with SV Design Architecture. It reads as a traditional shingled house, with a number of well-considered details.

Weathered cedar shingles cover the walls, set off by white trim and a gray roof. A gabled entry porch with a blue door welcomes visitors, and a stone retaining wall edges the gravel drive.

An attached garage sits at one end, and tall double-hung windows line the front. Up top, white railings enclose a roof deck over the side wing. At the back, a stone patio with a dining table sits beside a sunroom with a row of paned windows.

A carved fish ornaments the shingles over one door, and a second fish cutout appears in a gable. One door opens onto a deck with turquoise cushions and anchor-print pillows, and a view of the neighborhood.
