Designed by Justin Humphrey Architect, Cove House is an elegantly resolved waterfront home that is a tactile exploration into the thresholds between public and private space.

An easement planning restriction is often perceived as a constraint, dictating the site layout and architectural form. The design of Cove House attempted to prove the opposite; to challenge the benign response to the water-access easement typical of the waterfront community estate by embracing the home’s boundaries and external context.

Justin Humphrey Architect viewed the easement spanning the property’s eastern perimeter as an opportunity to make a visual statement and foster a connection with the broader community.
