House on Harper’s Island by Polhemus Savery DaSilva

Designed by Polhemus Savery DaSilva, House on Harper’s Island is located in special location in Harper’s Island. From Architects : It is a private island of one and one half acres, a tuft of woodland surrounded by salt marsh, pond, creek, and Nantucket Sound.There are other houses in view, but they are separated by the marsh and water. The only access to the site is over a 300-foot-long footbridge. It is a private naturalist’s paradise, yet one can walk to popular beaches.

When we first visited the site, we were stunned by its spectacular qualities. The possibility of designing a piece of architecture comparable to the location, and for an interesting client, was very exciting and very challenging. Although we knew there would be great restraints, those are not necessarily detrimental to good design, in fact they sometimes make it easier because they narrow the possibilities.
