Gap Cove House

2019 Accessible Design Awards

Honor Award – Residential

Project name: Gap Cove House

Jury comments: A modest coastal home confronts resiliency, accessibility, and energy efficiency.

Its modern design is a formal response to the rugged site and to the impending risks of climate change.
