Martha's Vineyard: New Island Homes
2021, The Monacelli Press
In Martha's Vineyard: New Island Homes, Keith Moskow and Robert Linn present twenty-one new houses that extend the traditional Vineyard style of shingled houses and cottages. Organized by project, this new book features designs by nationally recognized architects as well as Boston and Martha's Vineyard based firms.
Within each entry, the architect describes the goals for the project and the source of the design, often with references to nautical themes, environmental concerns, and appropriateness of materials and scale. A significant number rely on a plan strategy based on a series of pavilions to minimize intrusion in the landscape while still taking advantage of views and prevailing breezes. What consistently links all the houses is that they are all built to stand the test of time in the sometimes extreme marine environment and that they respectfully break with tradition.
MLA has a longstanding tradition of expanding the boundaries of conventional architecture practice through theoretical interventions, small-scale investigations, and publications. These explorations allow us to approach design with fresh perspectives and push us to test the limits of form, process, and materials.
