Renovated to accommodate a family of eight, this oceanfront home proudly overlooks the gateway to Marblehead Neck. This renovation preserves and highlights the character and charm of the existing circa 1900 gambrel while providing comfortable living for this large family. The finished product is a unique combination of fresh traditional, as exemplified by the contrast of the pool house interior and exterior. Photo Credit: Eric Roth

This is 9000 square foot home is located on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Gil Walsh worked with both the client and the architect to achieve this magnificent design. The client is an avid art collector, therefore, the design scheme of the home was guided by their art. Although the client prefers Americana design we chose antique furnishings that were castle-like to stay in scale with the high ceiling rooms . The rugs were designed by Elizabeth Eakins who blended the contemporary of the paintings with the traditional Americana designs of hooked rugs. The fireplace was designed by Lew French, a well known artist on Martha's Vineyard, who works in stone. The Master bedroom bedding was designed to coordinate with the art on the headboard walls. American hooked rugs are on the floor on each side of the bed.

Perched atop a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this new residence adds a modern twist to the classic Shingle Style. The house is anchored to the land by stone retaining walls made entirely of granite taken from the site during construction. Clad almost entirely in cedar shingles, the house will weather to a classic grey. Photo Credit: Blind Dog Studio
