PROVINCETOWN HARBOR HOUSE - WATERFRONT NEW CONSTRUCTION

This modern beach house in a historic Cape Cod village balances contemporary living with contextual sensitivity on a constrained site. Warm, light-filled spaces maximize views of the harbor and seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor areas through large high performance windows, all while navigating strict zoning, floodplain, and environmental regulations. The street facing facade takes on more traditional New England forms—gabled rooflines, modest scale, and classic window detailing—allowing the house to align with its historic neighbors. Subtle modern moves with clean detailing, signal a contemporary identity without disrupting the village character. Approaching recessed the entry, expansive glazing offers a framed view through the house to the waterfront beyond. Large triple glazed glass walls open toward the horizon without compromising comfort. Wood decks, raised above the floodplain, step down to reveal an unexpected pool terrace further blurring boundaries between house, landscape, and shoreline. Interior materials were selected to evoke calm and casual elegance. Pale oak floors, cabinetry, and plank ceilings create a unified, warm palette. Mechanical systems and lighting are carefully integrated to preserve clean lines, while dark bronze accents provide contrast and sophistication. Furnishings in wood and light-toned, durable fabrics support a timeless, relaxed lifestyle—practical for waterfront living, and grounded in a sense of place.
