We brought the DSK team together at the scenic Duxbury campus of Island Creek Oysters [ICO] for our 2024 Bi-Annual Meeting. The day featured facility tours where we learned about oyster cultivation and ICO’s incredible global impact on sustainable aquaculture. We also got the chance to tour the recently renovated Raw Bar, Annie Mac House, Winsor House, and Richard’s House and had some amazing oysters and food along the way. Thank you @islandcreekoysters for hosting DSK and teaching us the proper oyster shucking form! 🦪 #islandcreekoysters #coastalarchitecture #architecture #aquacultureinnovation #LifeAtDSK #BehindTheScenes #studiodsk

The Lookout's continuous floor and ceiling planes draw the eye outward, emphasizing the views. Rich walnut millwork and wood windows foster a harmonious dialogue with the landscape, while custom cabinetry enhances the home’s seamless modern aesthetic. White painted surfaces and stunning marble counters reflect light, creating an expansive feel and allowing the vibrant colors of the exterior landscape to permeate the interior. Operable windows provide opportunities for natural ventilation, contributing to a refreshing and airy atmosphere. South-facing deck and louver system protect interior spaces from overheating. Photovoltaic Panels are discreetly integrated on the flat roof to hide them from view. #studiodsk Landscape Architect @g2_collaborative Civil Engineer Meridian Land Services INC.

Located on waterfront property on an inlet of Stage Harbor, the main house is comprised of an open floor plan with 4 bedrooms, a 2 1/2 car garage with a 2nd-floor guest suite, and a large 2nd-floor deck with an integral screened porch to take advantage of the magnificent water views offered by this location. The architecture of the home takes its cues from the more intimate and informal cottages of Chatham’s storied past. One of the more unique features of this home is that primary living spaces are located on the upper story to take advantage of the views.
