Nautical Cape Cod Residence

Historic maritime themes expressed through custom decorative lighting

The project required custom fixtures that reinterpreted the home’s maritime architecture and interior style through subtle design elements. “The goal was to quietly celebrate the nautical heritage of the Cape Cod location through the lighting design,” says Levi Wilson, Hammerton founder and VP of Design who worked with Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders and Surroundings Custom interiors on the project. “We wanted the design to be thoughtful and timeless, rather than obviously thematic.”

The Hammerton design team achieved that objective through maritime-inspired design silhouettes, interesting materials like prismatic lighthouse glass, and finishes that nodded to both brass and steel. In all, Hammerton crafted 46 light fixtures reflecting 17 different custom designs conceived exclusively for the home.
