Vineyard Haven Modern Luxury


This new custom home in the West Chop area of Vineyard Haven, on Martha’s Vineyard brings together contemporary architecture, thoughtful site design, and a collaborative team approach. Developed with Novo Builds and interiors by Jennifer Perini, the project reflects a shared commitment to creating luxury coastal homes that respond to both market demand and the unique qualities of Martha’s Vineyard.


The 4,185-square-foot residence sits on a sloped site, a condition that shaped the architecture and allowed for a series of outdoor living areas. Multiple patios, balconies, and a generous pool terrace create a strong connection between the home and its landscape. A dramatic floating staircase framed by a full-height glass wall creates a focal point upon approaching the home while also defining the modern character of the house and filling the interior with natural light.

Inside, an open-concept layout connects living, dining, and kitchen spaces with French white oak floors and expansive glazing . The plan accommodates five bedrooms and five baths, with flexibility for a sixth bedroom, meeting the expectations of the island’s high-end luxury market.


The design is a variation on an earlier Cape Cod residence by the same development team, reinterpreted here to suit Martha’s Vineyard’s context. This continuity demonstrates how proven architectural strategies can be adapted to new sites, creating homes that are both distinctive and market-responsive.
