Drawing shows requested “Hull” in Overhead. Skylight was later deleted by client.

Gloucester Study

This yachtsman commissioned us to design a unique Home Office in a magnificent dwelling perched on a cliff overlooking Gloucester Bay, MA.

Gloucester Study

This home office for a very prolific research scientist was to reflect the rich nautical heritage of the historic Gloucester Seaport. It was to be a combination of maritime tradition, yet reminiscent of the command bridge of a modern yacht.

To make the project even more interesting, the entire interior had to break down to pass through a French door and then be reassembled like a Japanese puzzle in a bottle.

Oh, and one other thing, there would also be the suggestion of a Ship’s Hull In The Overhead as well as a space to display several ship models with an additional space dedicated for his favorite, the USS Constitution which would sit in a glass case resting on an actual chunk of the mighty ship's keel.

The flawless wood work was executed in Seattle, trucked to site and installed by Mark Fertello and the Marine Artisans Group.

But this was not to be any normal library. This was to be a “Fantasy Castle Library with essence of M.C. Escher overtones!” (See Designer Notes)
