Nicole Hogarty Designs Creates an Alluring Summer Retreat on Nantucket Island

Spread over 63 acres on a private peninsula of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, this luxury property owned by Savannah and Henry Helgeson mixes New England architecture and West Coast-inspired interiors. 

The gambrel, shingle-style home comprises the 10,000-square-foot, two-story main structure. With its two large living sections, five bedrooms, wine cellar, loft overlooking the great room and outdoor area, which includes a cabana, pool and boat house, this summer retreat for the family had to feel intimate but also inviting and fun to accommodate large gatherings. 

Furnished and adorned with pieces of furniture and lighting by the likes of Lindsey Adelman, Holly Hunt, Achille Castiglioni, Apparatus and Ingo Maurer—to name only a few—the spaces feature an overall quiet palette.

In the dining room, lighting fixtures by Holly Hunt hang over the custom developed dining table by JW. The custom banquette is by Partners In Design (PID) and the dining chairs are by Tom Kelly. In the kitchen, the custom leather wrapped hood by BluBlk combines with the leather wrapped hardware by Ochre and the counter stools by Thomas Hayes Studio.

“We used solid surfaces as points of interest and contrast such as the primary bathroom shower and kitchen backsplash,” says Nicole Hogarty, founder of Nicole Hogarty Designs, who worked closely with the general contractor, Stephen Cheney of Cheney Custom Homes. Benjamin Moore’s Bruton White was incorporated into the common areas to visually connect each of the spaces while maintaining focus on the water view and the indoor/outdoor approach. “We favored texture and a mix of materials over color to define and add depth.” 

In this multi-generational home, classic influences, organic warmth and a blend of East Coast and West Coast inspirations meet to create a new visual dialogue with a true sense of balance.
