The Shingled House: Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects, Ike John, Kligerman Thomas A., Barkley Joel

The New Shingled House includes examples throughout the fabled seaside resorts of New England--Marthas Vineyard, Block Island, and the Hamptons--as well as houses in Californias Bay Area and Point Loma, on a pristine mountain lake in South Carolina, and a Scandinavian influenced family residence in Connecticut. All are characterized by a sense of graciousness and generosity that makes them unique spaces for the owners and enviable spaces for readers.

The versatility of the shingle style allows the designers to explore formal ideas and to respond to client preferences and taste. The houses thus achieve the architects fundamental goal: when their clients enter their new house for the first time, they should feel as though they have always lived there.
