he historical fishing village of
Menemsha, on the coveted
island of Martha's Vineyard,
Massachusetts, has many
charms, including its small-town
character and magnificent sunsets.
"No other single-lane road could take you
to a more unique place, a storied and
buzzed spot, where people flock to pick
up steamed lobsters at one of the two
fish markets and settle in on their beach
chairs for the best dinner and panorama,"
says interior designer Mika Durrell — who
leads Able Moraine — about the location
of the two-story home (with a basement).
Built by J.G. Early and designed by
Hutker Architects, with landscaping by
Horiuchi Solien and millwork by Herrick
& White, this house is the refuge of an
American couple — with three grown-up
children — who love to play host to plenty
of friends.
"Black-and-white was the core concept
from our client from the beginning,"
remembers Durrell who took care of the
interiors. "We stuck to that in a very dedi-
cated way. This palette was intended to
allow the gorgeous views outside to flow
into the house as the feature."
Throughout the home, sculptural lighting
fixtures by Lindsey Adelman combine
with comfortable seating by RH and
Stephen Kenn, among other names.
