Creating beautiful, gently green interiors is both my work and my passion, but there’s a special pleasure involved when I work in a home of architectural significance. New England Home Magazine’s Summer Cape and Islands Issue features Dujardin Design interiors in just such a place: a home designed by architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen in Sconset, on Nantucket Island.

Designed by Mr. Jacobsen in 1990 and untouched since it was built, it is a prime example of the Jacobsen style: a large center pavilion flanked by “outbuildings” recalling the barns, detached kitchens and smokehouses of rural America. The house fits perfectly into the Nantucket landscape, with gray exterior and minimal trim.

The interiors we created preserved all the original details of the house, and celebrated Mr. Jacobsen’s vision, while fitting the home to the new owners’ lifestyle, and resulting in more healthful surroundings.

It was our pleasure to carefully select striking furniture and fixtures to mirror the clean lines of the house, while infusing the home with quiet luxury.
