SINGLE-FAMILY PRODUCTION HOMES - GOLD AWARD: Windsail home at Summerhouse Cottages at The Pinehills Plymouth, Mass.
During its decade of development and building, The Pinehills, located on 3,000 acres near the land entry to Cape Cad, has always featured homes with a connection to the seaside. Its administrative offices are located in a sprawling building, Summerhouse, which looks and feels like two massive farmhouses from an earlier century modified and joined together. Fittingly, the Windsail model by Whitman Homes is part of the Summerhouse collection, designed by the same architect of the administration building, Bob White.
Borrowing heavily from Cape and Martha’s Vineyard architecture, the 2,570-square-foot, three-bedroom Windsail feels as though it has been adapted over decades. First came the main house, later came a spacious wraparound porch topped with a standing-seam metal roof. In reality it was completed all at once in April 2010. Inside, a great room-kitchen combination benefits enormously from the light and multiple points of entry to the porch. It was designed to live like a summerhouse in all four seasons.
