"The work of Polhemus Savery DaSilva beautifully melds the traditions of New England with the way we live today, affirming that an architecture of place trumps an architecture preoccupied with passing trends." When an iconic figure like Robert A. M. Stern, Dean of the Yale School of Architecture, praises his colleagues in so gracious a manner, clearly the houses they design (and in this case, also build) must be superb. Take one look at Polhemus Savery DaSilva's portfolio and you'll surely agree with Mr. Stern's assessment.

John DaSilva, design principal of Polhemus Savery DaSilva, describes the firm's approach to "architecture and construction as a unified practical art where beauty and function are inseparable."

The light on Cape Cod illuminates its waters differently at different times of day. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the shallow flats surrounding Monomoy Island, south of Chatham, where a pair of avid fishing enthusiasts first fell in love with this part of the Cape. The experience was so memorable that they wanted to create a unique relationship with light in their yet-to-be-built retirement home on the other side of town.

Peter Polhemus isn’t a sappy sort of guy, but his advice to the Youth of America is simple: Follow your heart. That’s what he did back in the 1970s, when he shocked his father and everyone else who was paying attention by taking a leave his sophomore year at Harvard College. He never went back.
