Hither Hills / Bates Masi + Architects
This seaside home provides its owners with a weekend respite from the city by optimizing its ties to the land and nature. Located in a postwar planned beach community with small lots plotted irrespective of the steep topography, the property lacked a level ground plane suited to the usual flush relationship between a house and its yard. By nesting the house?s volumes into the hillside and stepping them into six distinct levels, the spaces contained within seamlessly connect to the landscape.
