Rabbit Run

Oh Captains, My Captains! An exciting project that combined the rarest of rare: an undeveloped parcel on Nantucket plus a client couple accustomed to the spotlight. Add to that a handsome pair of Golden Retrievers and I was smitten! The U.S. Chief of Protocol Rufus Gifford and husband Dr. Stephen deVincent are masters at seamlessly combining their public persona and private world. Creating a home for them needed to convey the same level of integrity, while also being a space that fit their visiting friends and family. On both fronts, the two would not want to turn their beachfront property into the usual preppy Nantucket cottage. Instead, the palette begins with a deep blue layered with simple and honest accents that convey a sense of natural beauty while still being serious— the decorative translation of their politics.
