Dune House

Tightly situated on a corner lot in the quiet resort community of Fenwick Island, Delaware, this coastal residence navigates the complex convergence of shifting dunes, stringent regulatory boundaries, and the evolving rhythms of a multi-generational family. Within a framework defined by environmental constraints—including DNREC’s critical area, a county conservation overlay, and FEMA-designated floodplains—the design seeks not only to comply but to engage, producing a structure that feels suspended within its site yet inseparable from it.
