This article focuses on the owner’s desire to make the Ross House energy efficient. The owner is an architect in the Chicago area whose firm has worked on the restoration of 20 Wright houses. The house wasn’t landmarked at the time he purchased it and began rehabilitation so he had a great deal of flexibility in his design decisions. However, changes were made with an eye for future designation and he was careful to restore the exterior of the house to its original appearance.

Cape Cod, MA
Four different houses in various states of disrepair that the Cape Cod Modern House Trust leased from the National Park Service and subsequently restored. The CCMHT incorporated as a non-profit in 2007 to save some of the area’s important houses and to renovate and repurpose them as platforms for creativity, scholarship and public access. Their website features some biographical information for each house but many before, during and after images. They also offer a platform to book overnight stays in the four houses.

Website maintained by the non-profit group Cape Cod Modern House Trust (ccmht.org). The projects were completed in collaboration with the National Park Service between 2009 and 2019.
