Should the need arise, this modern modular home can be lifted and shifted to firmer ground.
As the land shifts and evolves, this home will follow suit.
Theres sustainability of nature and sustainability of self, and this home is designed to offer both.
The appearance of the East House is virtuous in its own right.
It is concrete contemporary at its finest, a natural blend of stone-colored concrete and warm wooden framing.
Inside, rafters hang between walls lined with wooden panels.
The scenery of Marthas Vineyard enters the East House through large windows that often extend from floor to ceiling.
Despite the homes visual magnificence, its mobility is an engineering feat.
This feature was informed by a survey of the land that noted fast erosion of the nearby coastline.
For this home to survive long into the future, it will do so with the moving coastline.
As the land shifts and evolves, this home will follow suit.
Theres sustainability of nature and sustainability of self, and this home is designed to offer both.
