The geology of Martha’s Vineyard is characteristic of a terminal moraine. As glaciers receded, granite blocks and boulders that had been carried by years of plucking and abrasion were deposited here, on a series of cuestas, or ridges, forming a string of islands known as Outer Lands. Huckleberry Perch sits atop one of these cuestas—a promontory with unobstructed views over the Vineyard Sound and Elizabethan Islands to the North; West Tisbury, Vineyard Haven, Edgartown, and the Atlantic Ocean to the East and South. The project is conceived as a part of this site— the building is long and low, stretching out along the ridge. A stone wall runs through the entire house—from parking court to swimming pool—organizing circulation, providing kitchen storage, art niches, bar, fireplace, storage, and re-connecting interior and exterior spaces. Running parallel with the ridge, this singular stone element orients the project, anchoring it to the site and becoming a metaphor for its place.
