Nestled along a quiet cove in Wickford, the Duck Cove addition takes design cues from the existing midcentury modern acorn deck house while introducing a calm, functional retreat. The design maximizes a limited buildable footprint within a FEMA zone, placing a garage at the first floor with a rear door for easy boat storage and direct water access. Above, a serene bedroom suite captures expansive cove views, where soft light, warm wood, and quiet details create a space for rest and reflection. A covered, inset deck provides a protected outdoor room that feels private in every season. Designed as a simple refuge, Duck Cove is a place to wake up with ospreys and herons, unwind by the water, and feel close to the shoreline every day.
