Shoreline House

Single Family Home
Portsmouth, Rhode Island

You approach the house with no indication of the spectacular view beyond. The entry gate opens onto a tight stair framed by the building on all four sides. You descend to the deck one story below and as you finally arrive at the entry to the house, the view opens up. You realize that the house and the deck perfectly frame the bay below and its opening into the Atlantic Ocean beyond. That same view is the defining feature of not only the deck with its edge pool but also of all of the principal interior spaces.
