Cambridge, Massachusetts, architect Marcus Gleysteen turned to iconic New England architecture for the house. "We wanted it to look like it had always belonged, like it was here before anything else," he says. Sited to capture views of Narragansett Bay, the house embraces its site with all rooms pointed to the sea.
