Some projects resonate long after the equipment is packed away. The Great Pond residence by Hutker Architects is one such endeavor. Situated along Martha’s Vineyard’s shoreline, this home exemplifies the seamless integration of modern design with the natural environment—a hallmark of Hutker’s approach.

Collaborating with architects who craft beautiful spaces while honoring the surrounding landscape is always a privilege. Capturing the essence of this home involved more than highlighting its structure and lighting; it was about conveying the experience of being within the space. The interplay of warm wood tones against the expansive Vineyard sky, the fluid transitions between indoor and outdoor areas, and the serene reflections on the water collectively narrate a story of place and purpose.

I’m grateful to Hutker Architects for the opportunity to document this vision and to Forbes for recognizing the project in their inaugural “America’s Top 200 Residential Architects” list. This acknowledgment underscores the impact of thoughtful design and the power of storytelling through imagery.
