FFor three decades, Herb Foster’s house on Cape Cod was an oasis.
While he lived and worked in Boston, on summers and weekends
he would escape to his property on Surf Drive in Falmouth. There,
his small, 932-square-foot house was in an ideal location, across the
street from a beautiful beach with breathtaking views of Vineyard
Sound. It was a perfect place to watch his children grow and share
summer gatherings with friends.
After retiring, he made the Falmouth house his primary home.
His family grew with the addition of four grandchildren, and so did
his number of friends. But a larger family and more friends came at
a cost. His Cape house was no longer big enough. He didn’t have
enough room for his family all to stay. Gatherings had become
cramped. He needed a new place.
Moving wasn’t an option; he couldn’t beat his current location.

and ceiling accentuated with molding that runs diagonally to
the room’s grid. (Left) Modern wire railings allow one to gain
more appreciation for the many views from the many decks.
