Quahaug Point – Estes Twombly + Titrington Architects

INFO

The clients chose this site on the Quonochontoug Pond to build a retreat for family gatherings. The lot rambles down to the pond and offers views of the open ocean beyond.

Bluestone pavers carry through the house at the entry out to the screen porch, knitting the house to the site. The great room has unencumbered views out the fully glazed south wall. A generous kitchen with an herb garden right outside the door wraps into the dining area. The living and dining are mirrored about the double sided chimney on the patio outside. The house and landscaping reflect the Owner’s values of environmental stewardship.

An ultra-efficient geothermal system heats and cools the house. Solar photovoltaics and a green roof further offset energy use and help to manage rainwater.
