Menaca Hill

project photos coming soon….

From demolition to salvation the former Menaca Hill Inn, a 100+ yr old structure originally built in Katama, barged in pieces to Chappy, and reconstructed in 1910, has found new life. It is now a year round residence perched on a bluff overlooking outer Edgartown Harbor from the Lighthouse to the Gut at Cape Pogue Bay.

We have loved this house since before it became a project for us- referring to it as an ‘Oak Bluffs escapee’ due to its gingerbread trim and simple forms. Our mission was to preserve the integrity of the original summer house, while creating a functional and comfy home for a family with 4 children and 2 dogs. An added primary suite provides the owner’s their own sanctuary separated by a breezeway connecting to the common spaces and the children’s quarters.
