Island Style

Architect Jacob Albert and interior designer Dorsey Miller collaborate to create the perfect New England vacation house.





Making the Connection

The homeowners wanted a garage, an improved kitchen, and easy access—but historic district guidelines were stringent. Those very rules led to a brilliant design that marries convenience and seamless period style.

Vermont Summer Cabin

This Vermont family found they couldn’t be without a carefree summer cabin. Now it’s their primary house, already filled with good memories.
