Peter Haig, a principal at Architectural Design Inc., describes the structure as one of transition;
the cedar of the house bringing the woods to the shore, the natural world into the house. “The
homeowners wanted to bring the outside world in and the inside out,” said Haig.
An integral feature of the house is a contemporary-style widow’s walk made from cedar and cable.
The view, the central focus of the house and its design, spans from the flats to the rolling hills of
Truro. Walking from the roof deck down through the main living level of the house, you notice that
the view flows through the main living area room to room, increasing the sense of connectivity.
“These spaces radiate from the kitchen, and the rooftop deck is no exception,” said Haig. “All
rooms, if they don’t have a view, at least need to have a sense of the view.”
The enclosed porch
offers the same
exceptional views as
the adjoining deck.
