About This Project

The Wellfleet Modern House is a striking example of sustainable design harmoniously situated on a 3/4 acre lot enveloped in pines. Built for a West Coast couple seeking a permanent East Coast retreat, this modern green home masterfully combines aesthetics with energy efficiency, adhering to the owners' values centered around sustainability. The steeply sloping site informed a thoughtful design approach that optimizes solar exposure while maintaining privacy from neighboring properties. The architectural form is characterized by clean lines and a simple rectilinear shape, allowing for a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The stepped foundation enables a walk-out basement, which is flooded with natural light and connects directly to a spacious outdoor deck and dining patio. The home features a carefully designed layout that includes an “L”-shaped living area on the entry level, which opens up to expansive outdoor entertaining zones. The master suite, strategically positioned for privacy, boasts stunning downhill views and a built-in study, while the lower level accommodates two guest bedrooms and versatile spaces that adapt to various needs. Crafted with durable materials such as fiber cement panels and cedar clapboards, the home reflects the modern architectural heritage of Cape Cod. Exceptional attention to detail is evident in the installation of high-performance triple-paned windows and a super-insulated building envelope, which collectively minimize heating loads and maximize thermal comfort throughout the year. The incorporation of energy-efficient systems, including an air source heat pump and LED lighting, ensures that the home operates at a remarkable 70% energy savings compared to standard constructions. Ultimately, the Wellfleet Modern House is not only a personal sanctuary for its owners but also a lucrative rental property, catering to vacationers drawn to nearby Mayo Beach. The thoughtful design and commitment to green principles create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, making it a desirable destination for both the family and potential guests.
