“It’s like a boat,” Camp chimes in
agreement. “From here you see the
ocean; we used to be able to see the
sound.”
“When you live directly on the
ocean or a large body of water, the
climate is relatively different, than
an inland climate because the wind
directions will change due to condi-tions
that the water creates,” Newkirk
says. “When you design on the
water you get very strong, prevailing,
stormy wind directions that you have
to account for.”
n the east deck there is a
compass rose routed into
the floor, reminding the
owner and the architect of the
home’s orientation. From the open
deck, it’s possible to snuggle down
on the south side, protected from
the north.
“One thing about this exposure,
in the winter you can be out here
because that’s north and you’re
protected from the north wind.
Orientation is very, very important,”
Camp says. “And Haywood saw to
it that this was how it is. It’s like
another room out here. Plus you get
the shade from the sun.”
“You need that shade during
portions of the year. In August,
that shade works out pretty well,”
Newkirk says.
“I wanted deep porches for pro-tection,”
Camp says, protection from
the wind and the sun.
On its low march across the win-ter
sky, the sun floods Camp’s living
room, where Haywood Newkirk’s
sculpture is its centerpiece. The
sculpture defines the open stair
landing and divides it from the
dining room.
Made in three massive pieces
from marine aluminum, the work is
attached to a horizontal rod. When
the doors are open, it waves from
side to side on a nylon bushing with
the wind.
“It has a life of its own, when all
these doors are open,” Newkirk says.
