The Gemini Cottage · Ocean Grove, NJ

Although the roof had collapsed on the left-hand twin and both cottages were overrun with ivy and seagulls, the architectural answer was not to demolish, but to create. Cate began by restoring the exteriors of the two cottages. She then restored the interiors to allow the two homes to function as one. The twins are secretly conjoined at the rear, a fact barely visible through their common courtyard.
