Architect Designed Cape Cod Modern Home
Architects always search for the best sites to design modern homes.
Here, Peter Forbes found a 2.8 acre site at the tip of a peninsula with
400 feet of water frontage on the shores of Popponesset Bay just down
the sandy beaches from the village of Cotuit.
Architect Peter Forbes references the vernacular white of Cape Cod
without mimicking shingle-style homes prevalent along the coast.
Sensitive to the scale and conversant to the regional architecture,
this modern home has the advantage of walls of glazed openings
providing spectacular 180 degree views of the bay, marshes, and inlets
of Pinquickset Cove and the adjacent Crocker Neck containing 97 acres
of protected conservation land. Deep water access continues to
Nantucket Sound.
While many have a great desire for a modern home on the seaboard, they
are nearly impossible to find as the best ones are hidden. Built in
2000, this home is fresh and exhilarating, placed gently on the land,
and captures the essence of a Cape Cod retreat.
What better way to enjoy the Cape than the uncluttered and clean lines
of this 3,000 sf Cape Cod modern home.
