A Sense of Place, Made Visible

During excavation on a recent Vineyard project, the homeowner captured a fleeting moment, raw clay exposed before the house began to take shape. Partner Phil Regan and Principal Sean Dougherty recognized an opportunity to bring that story into the finished home. A recessed niche now displays the image as if you’re seeing straight through the foundation to the earth beyond — a quiet reminder of the land beneath, and a testament to how thoughtful collaboration and attention to place can shape spaces that feel truly rooted.
