Jens Risom’s 1967 prefab masterpiece on Block Island off the coast of Rhode Island is a gold standard for how a home should feel.

From@dwellmagazine:

“At the time, prefab suffered from a public-perception problem—the post–World War II housing boom and the subsequent need for quickly produced, kit-assembly structures had given the landscape of “ready-mades” a “dreary sameness” and a “cheapjack reputation.” Risom’s structure, with its use of weathered wood, soaring cathedral ceiling, and expansive openness tied to its bucolic location, set a new standard for what prefab could look like.”
