New Work In Progress
Thirty years and hundreds of successful projects later, we remain committed to design that is lasting and noteworthy, and craft that sustains, inspires and works in harmony with the beautiful, natural environment.
Here we share select projects in progress. These distinct houses—designed to meet individual client ideas and site needs—are now being built and landscaped in different Cape Cod environments.

Endless Horizon
Located on Nantucket Sound, this house faces south and has captivating panoramic water views. With a contemporary design and taut detailing, the house embodies two distinct characters—a smooth-boarded front façade and a shingled rear. Floor-to-ceiling windows at the back and sides frame the spectacular views.
CHALLENGE
The neighborhood is full of traditional houses, but our clients wanted something a little different. Our challenge was to accommodate their aesthetics, while also being a good neighbor.
DESIGN INNOVATIONS
The clients envisioned soaring ceilings, and we brought that vision to life with thoughtful design elements. Transom windows, ceiling shapes and finishes, and lighting design all work with proportional control to create grand, but inviting and livable spaces.
“People think of the Cape as having a unique character, but it has many different natural and architectural characters. We’re proud that we can succeed in design work in very different contexts, and at very different scales.”

Mermaid’s Haven
PSD has completed three projects at this spectacular oceanfront family compound, and is currently working on a fourth. The client has assembled the site by acquiring multiple adjacent properties and PSD has created a comprehensive master plan that unifies the entire site.
CHALLENGE
The principle challenge has been to create unity between an existing PSD renovated house, a new pool and pool house, a new hilltop house for family members, a garage/guest house currently underway, and an existing house that could possibly see a future renovation or new house.
DESIGN INNOVATIONS
Casual, whimsical, fun-loving describe the clients’ lifestyle on the property. The architecture is intended to reflect this wonderful way of being.

PSD provides a highly collaborative process that is as special as the building they create.
