Located within the coastal woodlands of Conanicut Island, the Dumplings House project transforms a steep and rugged site overlooking Narragansett Bay into a composed landscape that grounds the residence within its natural setting. Carefully arranged terraces, stone walls, and native plantings respond to dramatic topography, stabilizing slopes and framing outdoor rooms connected to woodland and sea. Layered plantings and thoughtfully aligned pathways create a modern retreat that feels both cultivated and natural, reflecting the enduring and dramatic character of place.
