Washing Pond Compound

A modern family compound, conceived as both a sanctuary and a social hub for a professional couple and their family, is nestled along the Nantucket coastline with sweeping water views. Envisioned to harmonize high-end luxury with the relaxed charm of coastal living, the home pairs a guest house with crisp, bright, Mediterranean-style interiors with a warm, inviting main house defined by luxurious natural materials, inviting furnishings, and dramatic lighting. The property also features a series of slatted wood forms, including a drive-through pergola, potting shed, surf shed, and bike shed, each thoughtfully positioned to maximize views and privacy while maintaining a cohesive design narrative. The active, fun-loving clients’ desire for a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle informed every design decision, including a suite of amenities that can connect from the outdoors. These include a high-design bowling alley and golf simulator, a gym with a sliding glass wall that opens to the ocean, and a jaw-dropping lower-level spa accessed by a sculptural floating staircase and a pathway of “lily pond” stepping stones.
