Vineyard house
Schiller Projects, 2014
During January of 2014, I produced a suite of drawings in collaboration with Aaron Schiller for a project on Martha’s Vineyard. The project, which began construction in May of 2014, provides a family retreat by the sea with four bedrooms and an adjoining guest house. Modelled after the classic barns of New England, this design adapts its precedent by shifting the line of the gable and lofting the main volume above the landscape.
Building a visual identity
As Aaron prepared to launch a web site for his recently established firm, he asked me to lend a hand revising some of his existing projects for presentation on the web. To add consistency to a diverse portfolio of work, I developed a representational aesthetic for his drawings. The challenge immediately appealed to my love for drawing as a medium. What we achieved, I hope, is a paired-down drawing aesthetic that conveys Aaron’s faith in simplicity and understated elegance.
