Nantucket Courtyard House by Workshop/APD. Residence with Modern Architecture & Minimalist Interior

Tasked with building a family home on a Nantucket site set back from the oceanfront and fully shielded from view by the landscape, Workshop/APD devised a uniquely modern indoor/outdoor residence that cleverly directs all views - and activity - inward to a jaw-dropping central courtyard lush with native plantings, abundant al fresco living spaces and a zero edge swimming pool. Thanks to its well-screened site, the team was able to push the boundaries of modern architecture on Nantucket, though its simple, shingled gable forms refer back to the island’s earliest Shaker structures. The home’s cool, neutral, minimal interiors, elevated by bespoke and gallery furnishings, statement lighting, and a cohesive, luxurious material palette of wood, natural stone and dark metal, stand in dramatic contrast to the garden’s bold hues, creating a comfortable retreat on hot summer days.

Great design, beautiful house.

The garden and nature of this home is incredible, but I wish we were allowed to see the inside. Kind of curious to why it's split into so many tiny houses

There is some irony in how the architecture looks like a Monopoly board with generic house shapes jammed together on one property.

I appreciate your observation and can understand the resemblance you see. Architecture can indeed evoke a variety of interpretations and emotions, and it's interesting to hear different perspectives on it. The design of this property was inspired by the central courtyard, which might explain the appearance of 'generic house shapes' grouped together

Somehow managed to talk for 3 minutes without ever actually saying anything
