Situated on four acres of beautiful coastal landscape Cove House was sited to take advantage of the expansive views of the harbor while also respecting the nature of the historic property. A contemporary intervention was designed to capitalize on the existing sunken garden of the previous historic residence while also working with the natural grade change of a coastal embankment. The architecture, along with the landscape, frame views to the harbor while also directing you through a series of terraced gardens. Maintaining the existing sunken garden allowed for a pedestrian bridge to be constructed linking the guest parking court to the main residence.
