Featured in Design New England
Updated: Oct 25
This welcome is no accident. The site and its subsequent effect were carefully considered and rendered by architect Jill Neubauer, whose logic appealed to homeowners Terilyn and Todd Esse. The couple had rented vacation houses in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, for several years before building this house in Truro, one town to the north, closer to the tip of Cape Cod. That experience made the Esses well prepared programmatically as to what they wanted in a summer home — kids’ rooms downstairs, limited television, social space for entertaining up to 20 guests. Design-wise, though, they were open to ideas.
The July/August 2015 issue of Design New England featured a summer house in Truro, set on a bluff above Cape Cod Bay. Jill Neubauer Architects designed the home, Forehand + Lake handled the interiors, and Cape Associates was the builder.
