THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME…. 

ON THE CAPE & ISLANDS 

This past spring, there has been one thing everyone in the world has had to learn 

to do…self-quarantine! So, that being said, how lucky are those who live on the 

Cape and Islands? Imagine sheltering in place in one of the best vacation spots in 

the country. It is truly a special place most of us feel fortunate just to visit, never 

mind escape to. 

There’s just that feeling that comes with crossing the bridge or taking a ferry or 

a plane; your spirit lifts, and stresses seem to wash away a bit. So, for those of 

you who are blessed to have a home on the Cape and Islands, consider yourself 

lucky. While we all try to keep sane on the other side of the bridge, you have 

the advantage of a great permanent mindset that the beauty of the Cape and 

Islands brings. 

There has been a trend over the past year of homeowners making the Cape 

their permanent residence, and it makes good sense. In fact, my new associate 

publisher, Lisa Almquist, who heads up this publication, decided years ago to 

make Falmouth home, embracing a coastal lifestyle and limiting trips over the 

bridge. I am thrilled to have her at the helm of this fabulous publication, as she can 

personally be there to help Cape businesses market their services. Lisa is excited 

to be hosting open houses at showrooms, design seminars for homeowners and 

events where everyone can share in the industry’s passion for the home. 

In this issue, we showcase homes that have become family compounds and 

residences that provide year-round living solutions, such as home offices, gyms 

and even indoor pools, as well as sensational seasonal retreats that are a sight for 

sore eyes. All of them prove that there is no better place to hunker down than on 

the Cape and Islands. Certain things are just better on the Cape, Martha’s Vineyard 

and Nantucket, and, of course, we showcase that too. 

We hope this resource inspires you to build your refuge in a way that provides 

year-round comfort and fun. Whether that means outdoor living for three seasons 

or putting in a bocce court, putting green, outdoor kitchen or a pool, the sky’s the 

limit when it comes to entertaining your family in your own backyard. 

Be well!

A Summer Affair 

Inside a historic, feel-good Nantucket home and 

the jubilant interior design of Donna Elle 

It is good to have lifelong friends. And even better when one of your closest 

has not only your best interests at heart, but an ear to the ground. That’s 

how a family from Ohio, who had vacationed in Nantucket every summer 

since 2002, came to live their longtime dream of owning a home there. 

When Robert Deuberry, a builder with his own Nantucket home, caught 

wind that an 1800s sea captain’s house in the historic district could be theirs, 

they swiftly put down roots on the island, their “ultimate happy place.” 


48 


Left: Traditional aspects of the 

home, like the banister, balusters, 

paneling and newel post of the 

staircase, are rendered in fresh 

and atypical ways. The original 

floorboards were finished by 

Chris Yates of East Wood Trading 

Company in a custom shade 

of “Nutmeg.” Right: The dining 

room is a celebration of saturated 

color—from the painting by 

Cynthia Packard, to the beachgrass 

green grass cloth, to 

the Serena & Lily bistro chairs 

surrounding the dining table (an 

estate sale find). Williams sourced 

a blue damask rug with an open, 

coastal pattern to ground the 

finer prints of the space, and Elle 

topped it all off with a chandelier 

of oyster shells. 

Finding the ideal interior designer to renovate and appoint 

their newfound, four-story treasure was a result of their 

own initiative. The homeowners found the inspired coastal 

designs of Donna Elle Design on a Pinterest search, and 

soon struck up another mutually rewarding and meaningful 

relationship with local designer Donna Elle. 

Elle and her daughter and associate Katie Williams, who 

joined the firm in 2015 with a resume to match her impressive 

pedigree, were instantly enchanted by the homeowner 

and her style. The wife and mother of four has an innate 

effervescence, they explain, and a “joyful personality that 

is overwhelmingly optimistic,” adds Williams. 

They found her design vision to be just as exuberant. She 

prefers fun over fussy, adores color and hoped to distill 

and express the vitality of her large, active family, which 

is constantly moving in different directions. Elle, with a 

sixth-sense ability to connect with the vibe of her clients, 

immediately interpreted the look she was after. 

Within days of signing on, Elle studied the architectural 

plans developed by Peninsula Architects of Ohio. She 

became “enamored with the opportunity to address the 

traditional formulaic of wall paneling and trim detail to truly 

emphasize the client’s aura through design,” she recalls, 

creating “a wholly personalized, tailor-made interior.” 


The backsplash, from 

Artistic Tile, was chosen 

because it sparkled like 

the homeowner. Counters 

are Imperial Danby marble, 

Elle’s go-to surface for its 

soft blues and browns that 

speak to the sea and sand 

of Nantucket. Ricciardi 

Marble & Granite finished 

the marble, and Boston 

Stone Restoration applied 

an epoxy “that makes it 

foolproof.” The island and 

breakfast nook showcase 

Elle’s unabashed love of 

blue—navy so deep you 

can dive in, cornflower 

and sky—while the 

Roman shades show Elle’s 

winning way with window 

treatments. 

50 


Throughout the home, the wainscoting, molding and 

window trim are historically detailed and a nod to the 

past, but the colors are refreshingly here and now.

Elle scoured a library of textiles from her go-to vendors—such as Schumacher, 

Cowtan & Tout, Quadrille, Studio 534 and Merida Rugs—back in her studio, and 

created room schematics and color schemes with fervor that spoke to the heart 

of her adroit design execution. The clients offered their enthusiastic approval and 

complete trust, and the nine-month project, which had already taken on an energy 

of its own, had begun. 

The renovation went deeper than the surface selections. Initially, the intention 

was to maintain most of the home’s interior elements, but a significant amount of 

structural repair was needed. In order to preserve the home’s historic character, 

Above: The loft is breezy and restful, its rich indigo grass cloth softened by floral upholstery, 

wovens, rattan furnishings and iridescent shell “drink drops.” Right: the master bedroom, 

with its custom bed and headboard, Schumacher wallpaper that ascends to the ceiling and 

cylindrical chandelier, was fashioned as a cocoon of sorts, and a retreat made for two. 

52 



As the historic homes of this enclave are so 

tightly knit, Elle’s vision for custom drapes in an 

outdoor acrylic fabric were hung on the porch 

for privacy. Right: a gem of an intimate backyard 

boasts an 8x8-foot gunite spa, outdoor shower 

and teak furniture for lounging. 

Deuberry, who oversaw the construction on the project, shipped the 

original 200-year-old framing and floorboards to Ohio, where they were 

stripped and re-milled by renowned Amish craftspeople and reinvented 

as the flooring, wall paneling, cabinetry, built-ins and fireplace mantels. 

Given that the architects and builder were working largely from Ohio 

offices, Elle found herself in a secondary leadership role, serving as 

their liaison and facilitating day-to-day operations alongside builder 

and carpenter Junior Froes. She relished it. “The architects, builders 

and subcontractors looked to Elle to guide the decisions,” Williams 

explains. Elle had become the project’s compass and translator, and 

ensured that the client’s vision was brought to life. 

The result is a “symphony,” says Elle, a joyful home dripping with 

“pattern play” and a “tension,” albeit stress-free, between past and 

present. Every room is unique and treated to a high level of detail. The 

window treatments alone, with their trims, fringes, borders and drapery 

pulls, put the designers in another league, while the fact that they 

shopped Nantucket retailers for the majority of the furnishings, accents 

and necessities only adds to what Elle calls “a happy project.” 

With its big, bold use of color and cheerful composition, the home and 

its kick-up-your-heels vibe redefine coastal interior design. The client 

deserves much of the credit, however, asserts the mother-daughter 

team, for allowing Elle to execute her craft in a way that was creative 

and limitless. Not unlike Nantucket itself, that freedom created magic.

The covered porch and patio were “a big color party,” 

says Elle. The back of the house is teeming with 

buoyant summer patterns that exude fun.

becomes available, says Lindsay Bentis, founder and 

principal of Thread by Lindsay Bentis. Such homes, with 

their sandy heirloom settings, remain in families for 

generations. After looking for such a property for years, and 

making memories with her family further inland, a longtime 

client of Bentis (her first, in fact) and Owner/Project 

Executive Steven Overstreet of S.J. Overstreet Construction 

Co., Inc. finally had the opportunity to purchase a home on 

the shores of the Atlantic. Patience had delivered paradise. 

The location was exactly what they had been looking for: 

a narrow stretch of land crowned by golden coastal vistas, 

which, hails Bentis, “are the most spectacular views of any 

house I’ve ever seen on the Cape.”

“The home is modern in the most 

perfect way. It has clean lines but with 

materials that feel like they had a hand 

in them, like someone made them.” 

—Lindsay Bentis 

Initially, the intention was to renovate the 1980s era post 

and beam structure, reuniting the team from the client’s 

suburban renovation 10 years prior, which included Bentis 

and Overstreet, as well as Principal Kent Duckham of 

Duckham Architecture & Interiors, Paul Reidt, president of 

Kochman Reidt + Haigh Cabinetmakers, and Founder and 

Principal Stephanie Hubbard of SiteCreative Landscape 

Architecture. Once they began, however, they found that 

the original structure resisted their collective vision. Its 

framework didn’t lend itself to the sea of possibilities or 

celebrate the site’s sublime views, so they began anew. 

What emerged was a beach home without compromise, 

a transcendent, wholly authentic property in which the 

landscape and built environment not only peacefully 

coexist; they bring out the best in one another. Typically 

professionals come in sequentially, explains Reidt, yet this 

project unfolded as a true collaboration in which expertise 

unique to each field came in at the ground floor and was 

granted the freedom to shine. “The outcome,” says Reidt, 

“is a fully integrated work of art.” Overstreet concurs, 

praising the synergy of the organic, one-of-a-kind project 

and a process that moved like a “design/build.”

Above: A 28-foot multi-sliding Marvin door with 

an automated screen makes up most of the 30- 

foot ocean-facing wall. Right: The ridge skylight 

by Wasco was implemented early in the design. 

It bathes the kitchen in sunlight and was sized to 

match the width and length of the stairwell. An 

art installation by Carolina Sardi was conceived 

expressly for the site. Bentis and Sardi collaborated 

on the formation of its metal disks to give the array 

a certain freedom, and Bentis painted the black and 

white art that hangs across the way. The recessed 

niche of the living room was also a must. “Everyone 

loves a big, open floor plan,” says Bentis, “but it’s 

nice to have a space to curl up within them.” 


Bentis, who grew up near the beaches of Malibu, 

was encouraged to channel the inside/outside living 

opportunities of homes in LA. “You can make that kind of 

West Coast house on the East Coast,” the client told her. 

Duckham, who is known for his traditional seaside 

architecture, embraced the stylistic departure and the 

aesthetic that Bentis and the client had honed over the 

years. Utilizing much of the existing footprint, he pursued a 

design that ebbs and flows within the indoor and outdoor 

realms, using generous amounts of glass, deep overhangs 

and porches both populated and private. 

Inside, the refreshing, clean-lined living spaces read like a 

deep exhale, but their striking simplicity hides the rigors 

demanded of the builder. The home’s parade of windows 

and doors required a mammoth amount of steel and 

structural wood beams, and created little space in the 

exterior walls for a highly technical infrastructure. As for 

the finish work, the modernist details—plaster reveals, no 

trim, and intersections and courses of the tile—required 

tremendous skill and effort from a construction standpoint. 

“It’s a gorgeous house, and it looks simple,” says 

Overstreet, “but even as a builder you don’t appreciate 

how difficult it’s going to be until you start doing it.” 

Bentis warded off any chill modern design can bring with 

a palette pulled from nature, and an honesty to every 

selection. In lieu of bold hues that might disrupt the views, 

she focused instead on textures, materials and forms. 

70 


Every surface has “a patina and a sort of worn quality,” 

she says, and artistry. The character-rich Tay wood, which is 

used lavishly throughout the home, has “a weathered yet 

beautifully refined” look to its proprietary, silver-gray finish, 

says Reidt, while the first-floor feature wall is lined with 

hand glazed Moroccan tile with color variances “that bleed 

and run like a watercolor,” says Bentis. 

Soft finishes and furnishings were shown a level of care 

Bentis would give her own home. She sourced buttery 

leathers that get better with time, reupholstered vintage 

finds with plush yet durable fabrics, designed bespoke 

pieces with Loki Custom Furniture and even painted 

artwork to hang on the walls. “Nothing is harsh or 

perfect,” maintains Bentis. But the effect is. 

Left: KR+H opted for white cabinetry in the 

kitchen to allow the Ann Sacks tile of the island 

and feature wall to prevail. Above: Bentis went 

“soft and serene” in the master bedroom, which 

has the feel of a cruise ship. Automated shades 

shut out the peerless views with the touch of 

a button. The master bath, by all accounts, is a 

masterstroke. It was designed as a wet room, 

with floating vanities, wall-mounted faucets and 

a soft mix of marble and tile by Heath Ceramics. 


The property is “a perfect example of 

what’s possible when great architects and 

tradespeople collaborate, with the common 

goal of creating something truly special.” 

—DaviD Schumacher, Schumacher companieS 

Stephanie Hubbard of SiteCreative also cultivated a 

“natural and serendipitous” sensibility for the landscape 

architecture, extending an elemental, holistic beauty to the 

terrain, terraces, stone and structures. “We feel strongly 

about the materiality of everything connecting,” reveals 

Hubbard, “so the feel of the architecture and interiors is 

brought into the landscape.” Again, the organic is prized. 

SiteCreative developed a planting plan that feels like an 

extension of the shoreline’s existing environment, with 

new native plantings and curated coastal meadows that 

look as if they took root long ago. Their installation was no 

easy task; landscape contractor Schumacher Companies 

had to factor in the timing of seed, plugs 

and larger plant materials, as well as preserve and 

safeguard mature trees. The effect was well worth the 

effort, as the “relaxed” plantings soften the linear stone, 

hardscape and boardwalks that stray from the surf to 

crisscross the site. 

Open-air settings were conceived as a series of outdoor 

rooms with different functions and uses for each time of 

day. Residents can bask in full sun, views or in the flames of 

an outdoor fireplace, grill within a wind-sheltered outdoor 

kitchen or relax in a shaded pergola surrounded by an 

inland meadow. Such experiential moments honor the site, 

which is, after all, why it all began.

effort by Hubbard, Duckham and 

Overstreet. Every stone, after

was fabricated, labeled and 

numbered by Freshwater Stone 

out of Maine, and installed onsite 

by crane, piece by piece.

Most clients approach ERT Architects with a desire for a traditional “Cape Cod” dream 

home, a special property that can be passed down for generations. Whether a new 

construction, renovation or addition, Principal Erik Tolley’s greatest satisfaction is realizing 

that vision…and more. 

With nearly 20 years of experience, the team at ERT Architects is well versed in New 

England’s coastal architectural language, as well as in the aspects unique to designing

hurdles to important details like waterproofing and sustainability. ERT Architects prizes its 

relationships with clients, and is intimately acquainted with their present and future needs, 

lifestyle and wishes. For this reason, ERT prefers to partner with clients as early in the

client’s design goals, they’ll surpass them.

Brotherly Love 

A Cape Cod home with double vision 

completes a family compound. 

The family that plays together, stays together. That is 

certainly the case for a tight-knit family that gathers 

regularly on Cape Cod to enjoy the sun, surf and one 

another’s company. Over 25 sons, daughters and 

grandchildren join the family matriarch from Memorial Day 

through the shoulder season in numbers that exceed the 

bedrooms and bunk rooms of her exquisite seaside home, 

and guest home. But what a wonderful problem to have. 

Architect Tom Catalano of Catalano Architects and builder 

Travis Cundiff of Travis Cundiff Associates, Inc., who had 

conceived and built the original home, were part of the 

solution: a new construction for two of her sons and their 

families directly across the street. 

Interior designer Susanne Csongor of SLC Interiors, 

Joseph Wahler of landscape architectural firm Stimson and 

landscape contractor R.P. Marzilli and Company, who also 

worked on the main house, had a reunion of their own, 

82 


ejoining Catalano and Cundiff to bring the new summer 

retreat to fruition. With its classicist flair and red cedar 

shingles, the home is similar in flavor to the main house, 

pictured top right, and was designed on the same axis. 

The front doors of the two homes are aligned, in fact, as if 

waving hello. And while the Gambrel Shingle Style “uses 

the same materials and architectural motifs as the main 

home,” says Catalano, “the interior of the new home is a 

bit more playful, as befitting the younger generation.” 

The landscape, too, which is linear and more woodland in 

spirit than its seaside companion with its series of outwardlooking 

“garden rooms,” explains Wahler, was crafted with 

the youthful residents in mind. It is largely unprogrammed, 

with plenty of open space and two key destinations within 

the greater field: a grove-side, rectangular fire pit and 

a monolithic granite ring (illuminated at its base) that 

the kids use as a play object, running along its top, that 

encircles a favorite tree. 


This cozy family room is shared by both 

wings and serves as a central meeting 

point for the two families. It opens to 

the rear terrace via a 15-foot Marvin 

lift-and-slide door. 

From the outside, the stately summer home fits in well with 

its neighbors. Inside, however, it has a double vision, with 

everything each family needs—two kitchens, individual 

entrances, living rooms, private stairs, bedrooms—in two 

L-shaped wings, conjoined by a central core, with a shared 

main stair, living room and, of course, the front door. 

As one can imagine, constructing this type of home, 

fast-tracked for summer occupancy, required twice the 

effort and orchestration. Cundiff was a skilled maestro, 

assembling subcontractors with the skills as well as the 

right personalities, and tackling the build in phases, with 

teams for the north and south wings. At one point 60 

people were working on the site. “The coordination was 

the greatest challenge,” says Cundiff, “but that’s my job.” 

For the interior design, Csongor was “conscious to 

keep the amenities and level of decoration consistent 

throughout, so as not to stir up any sibling rivalry!” 

she shares. Having worked with the family for years, 

Csongor “has a great understanding of their playful, 

yet sophisticated style and love of color,” which found 

expression in fresh hues and graphic patterns. She was 

careful to deliver equitable yet individualized living spaces, 

each fabulous in its own right and as part of the whole. 

Much like family. Every job should be like this, muses 

Cundiff, imbued with the trust of the client and team. This 

rapport led to the fulfillment of a grandmother’s dream: a 

well-loved, well used home that allows the grandkids to 

simply cross the street for a visit or a swim. 

84 


Top: In the dining room, Csongor used a round pedestal table to facilitate an easy circulation to the adjoining 

living spaces, and a playful mix of wood tones. The bold geometrics of the Thibaut wallpaper and Formations 

chandelier work cohesively with the other rooms of the home, without feeling “homogenous,” says Csongor. 

Above: the north kitchen blends crisp white cabinetry with varying shades of ocean blue. “It is their Cape 

house,” says Cundiff, “so they want it to feel that way.”

As most of the living occurs on the first floor, Gakidis embraced the horizontality of the architectural style to create an open-concept layout with 

many vignettes and individualized moments. Cape & Island Kitchen worked with Gakidis + Stewart on the stove area abutting a seating area; 

the bar and beverage nook that stands in for a butler’s pantry; and on a long central island, complete with counter seating, a sink and plenty of 

shelving. The homeowner had a designer’s eye and selected materials and finishes that would be at home on the beach or in downtown Boston— 

quarter sawn white oak cabinetry in a cashew stain, multitonal tile and Vermont Danby marble.

a home for 

ALL SEASONS 

Fulfilling, full-time living by the sea 

“Falmouth is now a desirable residential alternative to the upscale Boston 

suburbs,” says George Gakidis of Gakidis + Stewart Design Group, and 

making Cape Cod one’s primary home is an emerging trend. “Initially a place 

to vacation, the Cape is now a permanent option for many.” As a Falmouth 

native himself, Gakidis can see the allure of the ocean, beautiful seasons and 

resort amenities that prompt a “reverse commute.” Add in the current climate 

and health crisis and suddenly there is all the more reason to take shelter in 

one of Massachusetts’ most enchanting locales. 

There is a difference in approach when designing homes for year-round 

residence versus summer home inhabitance, as illustrated by the architectural 

firm’s recent design, a Craftsman-meets-Prairie Style home by the sea. “It’s not 

Photography by Edward Glick, BluWaterPhotography; text by Sandy Giardi 


Gakidis created a home that 

is meant to be “enduring” and 

without a “time stamp,” he 

says. To that end, they selected 

contextual materials that will last 

forever: shingles, copper, standing 

seam roofs and stonework. 

The architectural elements are 

the perfect complement to the 

landscape design of Maria Hickey & 

Associates. 

Left: the features of the home have 

amenities for outdoor living in the 

summer and shoulder season, as 

well as for inclement weather and 

winter use. The lower level fosters 

year-round wellness and features 

a steam bath, cedar sauna and 

a “swim in place” pool with an 

illuminated wall and sliding doors 

that open to the family room. 

92 capecoddesignguide.com

The goal was to create an 

oceanfront residence designed 

to delight and endure. 

a beach house,” says Gakidis, driving home the distinction. 

“It’s a house that’s on the ocean.” As such, much like we all 

do September through June, the home has to work harder 

for its residents, capitalizing not only on its incredible 

vistas, but on design solutions that make daily living a joy. 

“Every job we do is catered to that client and a site,” says 

Gakidis, and this home’s inventive design is a testament 

to a collaborative process with hands-on homeowners. 

That dynamic creates a truly custom home with out-of-thebox 

ideas, like the reinterpreted kitchen, dining and great 

room area, in which food preparation and visiting with 

guests occur in one and the same space, or the creation of 

the bar, beverage and appliance alcove that stands in for 

a butler’s pantry. Little nooks and zones abound within an 

overarching “floating floor plan” that ushers in the airiness 

and light of waterfront living and allows the owners to 

reconfigure furnishings should they so choose. 

Given its locale—which is, says Gakidis, “the reason they 

are there”—the home fully embraces indoor-outdoor 

living. Its sloped site allowed the house to open up 

privately to the ocean, and Gakidis used that development 

to his advantage. The lower level represents a “casual way 

of life,” and features a small indoor pool, sauna and steam 

bath, which opens up completely to the family room, 

which, in turns, spills out to a covered porch, the grass, the 

dock and, ultimately, the ocean. It’s essentially a series of 

stacked outdoor rooms and a year-round situation,” says 

Gakidis. Yet the home may have an even better feature.... 

When the rest of the world descends on Cape Cod for the 

summer, they are already there.

Talking Shop 

Ray Bachand of 60nobscot on the art of crafting 

custom barn doors 

“One at a Time, One of a Kind” is how Ray Bachand approaches 

every piece of furniture he constructs at 60nobscot. Following a career 

in the music software industry and as a teacher at Berklee College of 

Music, Bachand is now enjoying a full-time gig in woodworking at his 

Cape Cod shop. 

While he crafts custom furniture including live-edge tables, coffee 

and console tables, media cabinets, sliding mirrors and more, he is 

best known for his handcrafted barn doors. He jokes that he hates 

doing anything twice, and the result is heirloom quality work for builders, 

architects, designers, and discerning homeowners. 

Beyond their beauty (and popularity on HGTV), barn doors “solve a lot 

of problems,” says Bachand, and can be used as room dividers and in 

hallways, bedrooms, pantries and anywhere “you can’t swing a door.” 

Double doors work well if there isn’t enough room to slide the door, 

bypass doors (a great replacement for failing closet bi-fold doors) don’t 

require room on the sides, while two doors closing on the same plane 

allow access to the full opening. 

60nobscot’s barn door styles vary from rustic to highly contemporary, 

adding allure and function in any design. The shop’s “turn-key service” 

builds, supplies hardware and installs barn doors and is available by 

appointment. To learn more, visit 60nobscot.com.

stick framing, our custom panels and components optimize the build process and provide a superior 

frame, cutting the wood framing time in half, and reducing material waste and field mistakes. 

Our trademark design process, which is derived from the builder or architect’s plan, is the cornerstone 

of what we do. Cape Cod Panel reviews and recreates the plans using 3-D framing technology, 

readying the optimized materials for our computerized saw. The high-quality interior and exterior wall 

components are then delivered to the job site, in the order of how and when they are needed, making 

the construction process as efficient as possible, and bringing a greater return on investment for general 

contractors, homeowners and framers. 

Cape Cod Panel’s wall panels, partitions and components grace projects in every town on Cape Cod. 

Panel erection and full frame services are available.
