House With Compact Plan, Efficient Use Of Volume And Simple Inexpensive Interior Finishes

This house is located on the Stage Island, a small hilly peninsula surrounded by Stage Harbor and its marshland. Budgetary limitations led to a compact plan and efficient use of volume. To keep it affordable, simple inexpensive interior finishes were also used. The living spaces are mostly square in plan with a relatively low ceilings. The basement level is a decent living space with exposure on three sides. There are no built-in cabinets in the interior except in the kitchen and there they are simple MDF. Countertops are mahogany, flooring is real linoleum tile or southern yellow pine; rich looking but relatively inexpensive materials. There is no fireplace and no deck. While the house looks rich and complex, it was less expensive to build than most other projects that looks the same. [Polhemus Savery DaSilva]
