Cape Cod Modern - Main image

Category: Wms&Co.

In the summer of 1937, Walter Gropius rented a house on Cape Cod and invited the Bauhaus diaspora. What followed — quietly, over decades, in the woods and dunes of the Outer Cape — was one of the most understated chapters in American architectural history.

McMahon and Cipriani trace the cosmopolitan designers who settled in Wellfleet and Truro between the 1930s and 1970s, building for themselves and each other: a Regional Modernism that fused Bauhaus rigor with the vernacular of Cape Cod fishing towns. About 100 significant homes that almost no one outside the architecture world knew to covet.

New photographs by Raimundo Koch. Drawings of eight houses by Thomas Dalmas. Research built from primary sources throughout.

For anyone who has walked into a room and recognized, without quite knowing why, that someone here was thinking clearly.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Violet ★★★★★

The photos of those woods-and-dunes houses are what sold me, and the book delivers on that — page after page of quiet Bauhaus-influenced cottages I'd never seen before. It's a coffee-table book, but I actually read the essays.

Emma Y. ★★★★★

I bought this after a trip to the Outer Cape and the section on the Bauhaus designers' dune houses sent me down a rabbit hole for a week. The writing holds up, though a couple of the floor plans are printed small enough that I had to squint.

Daniel ★★★★★

Didn't expect the photos of those weathered shingle houses to hit me so hard, but they're the best part. The captions on the Gropius years tie everything together without getting academic about it.
