Description

Hutker Architects, led by founding principal Mark Hutker, has designed more than 300 houses along the New England shore. In their design and construction, these houses honor the vernacular traditions of craft and indigenous materials and are deeply respectful of the beauty of the landscape. As architects, the firm is committed to the principle "Build once well," looking to the historic architecture of the region as inspiration for contemporary design. The result is an architecture that is at once highly contemporary and yet enduring, efficient, inevitable, and appropriate. Fifteen houses are presented here, each offering a unique and satisfying solution to building on the beautiful but fragile landscape of bluffs and dunes that lines the shores of Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod.
