Modern Coastal Architecture for Exceptional New England Properties

Nautilus Architects is an award-winning coastal architecture and interiors studio specializing in custom waterfront residences throughout Coastal New England.

From the Connecticut shoreline to Watch Hill, Rhode Island and the Hamptons, we design homes that respond thoughtfully to landscape, light, climate, and the rhythms of coastal living. Each project is carefully composed to balance timeless architecture with modern livability, environmental sensitivity, and enduring craftsmanship.

Our work is rooted in a deep understanding of waterfront properties and the complexities that accompany them — including flood zones, coastal resilience, permitting, topography, and sustainable building strategies. We believe exceptional homes should not only feel beautiful and inspiring, but also deeply connected to their surroundings and designed to endure for generations.

Nautilus Architects provides a highly personalized, full-service design experience tailored to discerning homeowners seeking extraordinary homes between $3 million and $10 million and beyond. Through close collaboration with clients, builders, artisans, and consultants, we create residences defined by authenticity, refinement, and a profound sense of place.
