Lewis Bay Custom Home

West Yarmouth, MA

Completed in 2022 and located in West Yarmouth across from Lewis Bay, this project involved a full teardown and rebuild of a waterfront home in a designated flood zone. The design and construction required careful planning to meet elevation requirements while maintaining comfort, functionality, and coastal character.

One of the home’s defining features is the widow’s walk, offering panoramic views over Lewis Bay and serving as the perfect vantage point to watch Fourth of July fireworks reflected across the water.

The new foundation was engineered to withstand flooding and was constructed above the required flood plane, providing long-term resilience in a demanding waterfront environment. Because all mechanical systems were required to be located above the flood elevation, creative problem-solving was essential to integrate modern systems without sacrificing usable living space.

To meet these challenges, the home was equipped with a small-duct high-velocity HVAC system, delivering efficient heating and cooling while minimizing the space typically required for traditional ductwork. This approach allowed mechanical systems to be discreetly housed while maintaining clean architectural lines throughout the home.
