Rarely does one find such a concentration of outstanding contemporary design. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors Keith Moskow and Robert Linn expand their 2005 survey of Vineyard residential design to present twenty-five new houses that extend the traditional Vineyard vernacular of shingled houses and cottages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the architects has described the goals for the project and the source of the design. Some reference nautical themes, others environmental concerns, and still others appropriateness of materials and scale. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA significant number rely on a plan strategy based on a series of pavilions to minimize intrusion in the landscape while still taking advantage of views and prevailing breezes. What links the houses is that they are all built to stand the test of time in the sometimes extreme marine environment and they respectfully break with tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Moskow\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eRobert Linn\u003c\/b\u003e are principals of Moskow Linn Architects in Boston, a firm committed to sustainable, environmentally sensitive architecture.
