For the romantic in all of us, this stone cottage seems to rise right out of the rocks it was built on. Perched on the shore of a one acre island, the cottage bravely faces the open Atlantic Ocean. Once a hunting retreat with no electricity, the original cottage held a couple of small rooms and rustic plumbing. A modest addition allowed for more elbow room while retaining the elements of the original structure. Challenges of permitting regulations, exposure, and not wishing to lose the essence of the island set the stage for a wonderful collaboration with the new owners who wished to bring 21st century upgrades. With the cottage located so close to the water's edge, careful attention was given to be sure the building could withstand the ocean's fury yet invite gentle summer breezes.
