Architectural Digest: May Issue

The May issue of AD has dropped and one of the features I'm enjoying is their shout out to the work of Robert A.M. Stern.  They refer to him as a modern traditionalist and I like the style that implies.

Of all his featured properties I was most taken with a home on Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.

Of course the one image was never going to be enough so set about hunting for more photos, and specifically, photos of the interior.  I found them here on his website and unsurprisingly, they don't disappoint.

Gorgeous covered porches over stone walls wrap around the house.

 

The pool area is sheltered from the wind and a pergola and screened porch offer shaded seating near the deck.  And did I mention the view?  No words.

The round library in the tower features a floor-to-ceiling beach stone chimney.

The library from the outside and the guest house to the east of the entry court compartments the style of the main house.

 

I couldn't find any pictures of the lower level of the house that has been specifically designed for entertaining - a bowling alley, games room, and a boat bar connected to the wine cellar by a "hall of fishes."

Dissatisfied much?  To read more about this amazing home pop over here.
