Discover at the intersection of Madison's Circle Beach and Guilford's Grass Island a rare coastal retreat. How many have longed for a place to immerse in nature away from home and work, not a vacation place, but a place to think. These places are called "Third Spaces". Many achievers have them, where is yours? It could be here in Guilford, Connecticut. In 1971, a young, later to become iconic modernist architect in the New Haven community, Vincent Amore, AIA, designed and built a coastal retreat for he and his family immersed in salt air, marsh fragrances and sun soaked views of the ever-changing, delightful southernmost Sound in New England. Biophilia or "Love of Life" is architecturally expressed in this Amore designed and built retreat. Known by area sailors it is akin to being aboard a moored fully outfitted yacht. A one bedroom, one and a half bath home, it has expansive space as it blurs the line of indoors and out. A truly biophilic architectural experience through its exquisite design detail and its magical refuge and prospecting position in coastal nature.
