From the road, you would never guess that Chasing Lo Tyde—a shingle-style home with architecture, landscape architecture and construction by Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders (PSD)—was built upon a naval airfield. Located on the water, the home occupies a remarkable setting. Its front facade looks like a classic summer cottage that might have stood here since the Gilded Age. “The traditional front plays tricks with scale,” says Sharon DaSilva, PSD Senior Designer. The shingles are Alaskan yellow cedar, which is a larger shingle than the typical white cedar shingles. The spacing of the shingle courses is eight inches instead of the typical five inches. The windows are large and have wider muntins. “The combination of these two factors tends to cause people to perceive the house as smaller than it actually is.. more like a cottage.” The shutters seem to burst open like blue flower petals, while the entryway’s quartet of squat columns suggests a certain grandeur the pale golden, yellow cedar, shingles emphasize further. Robust plantings, boxwood and hydrangea beds, and the manicured lawn also seem to root the home in history. But less than a decade ago, this site was an overgrown tangle of weeds with a dilapidated ranch house sitting on it. And prior to that, it was a WWI-era outpost constructed to defend the coast from German U-Boats. 🌊 Keep reading our article, “Chasing Tides and Embracing Family,” at the link in our story or at capecodlife.com.

When a building has stood for nearly 100 years on one of the Cape’s most storied stretches of shoreline, you don’t simply renovate it. You approach it with restraint. With reverence. With an understanding that what you are touching is not just timber and stone, but memory. Since 1927, The Beach Club in Centerville has served as a seasonal anchor for generations of families along Nantucket Sound. Weddings, anniversaries, bridge games, sandy lunches, children running in from the surf-the rhythms of summer have been set against its beachfront façade for almost a century. So, when the Club embarked on a multi-year capital improvement campaign beginning in 2021, the stakes extended far beyond aesthetics. Under the careful guidance of interior designer Debra Classen, of Osterville-based William Conrad & Co. Interiors, and Ben LaMora of Lineal Architects + Builders, the Club’s future began to take shape. 🐚🌊 Keep reading our article, “A Century on the Shore,” at the link in our story or on capecodlife.com.
