Cape May Residence
Project Type: Historic Residential
Conceived in historic Cape May, NJ this project has been a very particular puzzle to work through. Beyond working through the constraints of the local historic board, our site is located insular to a residential block and off an easement rather than a street front. The existing structure is considering non-conforming, as is the site itself.
Using these constraints to our advantage we were able to piece together a design that, compliments its Victorian surroundings, incorporates new FEMA standards, and creates zoning and landscaping improvements, all lending to a custom home, with 18’ ceilings, and open floor plan for families to build summer memories within.

after Hurricane Joaquin the city of Capy May took some aerial photos, and we were able to see the house under construction
during demolition we were able to salvage a lot of the material and plane it down to reuse for the flooring
