Rapunzel

 

Standing beside her fraternal twin, Rapunzel creates the longing to climb to the top, look out over the harbor, and send the imagination out to sea.  Partner Chuck Dietsche teamed with friend and fellow architect Dan Costa to create two parallel towers that would serve as a gateway at the public access entry to the beach. At days end, the comfortable asymmetry of the landmark towers welcomes beach goers back to Harbour Village.

The efficient kitchen is tucked against a wall with playful precision and colorful utility.
With fairy-tail whimsy, the bright red staircase ascends to a starry midnight sky.
