This wood structure we designed to enclose six A/C units and generator. It also has clothes lines to dry beach towels incorporated into the side walls.
Stone stair to allow access from front of the house to lower drive and garage.
Vaughan residence grading plan. This site sloped 25+ from side to side. We designed natural boulder walls and concrete stone veneer walls to retain the grade for the desired house placement. We used their forms to create picturesque lawns in the front and back of the house, while saving the largest existing tree on the property.

Vaughn Residence, Morris Island Chatham, MA

The Vaughan residence was a high end residential summer home project we completed under Strata Design Assoc.; designed with Kent Duckham Architects.
This client desired flat lawns for their children to play on and views of the Atlantic. Due to the existing slope of the site we choose to step the site with naturalizing boulder walls. The design also incorporated a 50' pool, adjacent pergola, smaller site walls, wooden enclosure for the generator, crushed stone drive, blue stone stair, and sea side landscaping.
