Coastal Gambrel
Harwichport, Massachusetts
The Coastal Gambrel residence is a new construction shingle-style residence located in the coastal village of Harwichport, Massachusetts. The home is designed as a classic gambrel form, drawing on traditional Cape Cod precedents while elevating them through careful proportion, craftsmanship, and thoughtful interior spaces.
The exterior architecture is defined by cedar shingle cladding, a traditional gambrel roof, and crisp detailing that reinforces the home’s timeless character. Window placement and massing are carefully composed to balance symmetry and scale, creating a welcoming streetscape presence while allowing abundant natural light throughout the home.
At the heart of the interior is a dramatic two-story living room that serves as the primary gathering space. This double-height volume brings light deep into the home and establishes a strong sense of openness, while maintaining a warm, traditional feel through classic detailing and materials. Surrounding living spaces are arranged to support both daily living and entertaining, with a natural flow between public and private areas.
Throughout the home, the interiors blend traditional New England architectural language with comfortable, modern living. The result is a residence that feels rooted in Cape Cod’s architectural heritage while thoughtfully designed for contemporary coastal life.
