This beach house project in Cape May, NJ designed by Ambit Architecture, will be built on a small oceanfront lot at the southernmost tip of the state. Apiary sought to reinstate as much of the spirit of the surrounding coastal pine forest as possible, referencing tertiary dune vegetation in the mounded berms that buttress the house’s stilts, and selecting plants endemic to the shore that exhibit salt spray tolerance, thrive in lean sandy soils, and have low supplementary watering requirements.
