South Dartmouth Boat House

This project is one of a multi-component phased expansion and renovation to a seaside manor with extensive oceanfront grounds. The Boat House was conceived as both a physical gateway to a private dock access and a beacon or 'lighthouse' allowing private boats to way-find to the property at night. Architecturally the building is both influenced by traditional working boat houses, New England lighthouses, and the classical architecture of the manor house.

Approximately 700 square feet, the Boat House is used to house recreational water sports gear and small vessels. On the beach facing side is a private exterior shower and large working deck which serves as a 'breakout area' for setting up windsurfers and similar items.
