Great Flat

Great Flat, Westport, MA

New coastal summer home

Perched on an old corn field adjacent to the Westport River and with southern views toward the Atlantic, this summer home feels well situated. Though its location offers ocean vistas and summer breezes, the architectural flavor of the area and that of its neighbor, Little Compton, provides a wonderful coastal palette of stone and cedar. The new house therefore is low in stature, blending into the landscape, with a two-story sleeping wing to shield northeast winds and provide elevated views.
