This outdoor compound in Nantucket by Gregory Lombardi Design Incorporated was conceived to appeal to all ages, 并为居民提供多种方式来享受非凡的场所. As the home is not on the water, principal Gregory Lombardi capitalized on the sky and the enviable terrain. In Lombardi’s hands, the central lawn, formerly a pool that was filled in and leveled, became the organizing feature. It runs right up to the main home, 其分支包括带有活边胡桃木桌子的室外厨房区, a spa and pool house, and an infinity edge pool. The secret to successful vacation homes, says Lombardi, 就是创造一个你们可以单独相处的空间.” There are experiences for all, 无论你是在蹦床上蹦蹦跳跳还是在水疗中心放松身心，一切都在你的视线之内.

The contemporary home maximized its openings using Western Window Systems “提供前所未有的全方位透明度，”林斯科特说. 从图书馆里令人印象深刻的窗户墙，到两扇15英尺宽、8英尺高的600系列多滑动门，这些门形成了通往露台的入口, 这间明亮通风的房子现在是室内外生活的缩影. Linscott offers, “我们问自己的问题是，如何在不进行全面改造的情况下创造‘哇’的时刻.” Mission accomplished.
