Eastham is at the eastern end of Cape Cod, facing Cape Cod Bay to the north and the Atlantic to the south. Its coastlines and tidal flats have strongly influenced land use, settlement patterns, and building materials.
Settled in the 17th century, with a strong maritime and farming heritage. Early houses were modest, timber-framed Cape/colonial structures aligned to narrow roads and village centers.
Village and landscape-scale planning
Eastham preserves a rural New England village character in several areas, with clusters around former common greens, churches, schools, and small harbor or landing sites. The road network often follows old colonial routes.
Eastham’s historic village centers (e.g., along Main Street and near town commons) where older homes and public buildings cluster.
Cranberry bogs and associated farm complexes from the 19th–20th centuries, often with vernacular farmhouses and processing buildings.
Lighthouses, coast guard stations, and maritime-related structures in and around Eastham’s coastline (these often blend utilitarian design with regional materials).
Cultural institutions and museums (often housed in historic buildings) that interpret local architecture and town history.
Many new and renovated homes emphasize flood resilience, elevated first floors, durable coastal cladding, and flood vents where required.
Design solutions often address salt spray, humidity, and storm considerations.
Energy efficiency and sustainability:
Widespread use of air-to-water heat pumps, high-efficiency insulation, energy-efficient windows, and tight building envelopes. Solar-ready roofs are common, with some homes integrating solar arrays and battery storage.
Stormwater-conscious development:
Landscaping and site design prioritize drainage, permeable surfaces, and native plantings to manage runoff and support watershed protection.
Preservation of maritime and dune context: In villages near the National Seashore and along the coast, new construction is designed to respect scale and materials visible in historic coastal architecture, with modest massing and subdued color palettes.
Traditional Cape Cod silhouettes remain popular, with gambrel or side-gabled roofs, dormers, shingle siding, and a muted coastal color palette.
Some new homes blend contemporary elements with classic forms.
In existing neighborhoods, homeowners expand with rear or side additions that maintain the original character. Siding and detailing often mirror clapboard or shingle traditions.
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs):
Growing interest in ADUs that fit the scale and style of the primary residence, particularly for extended family or rental use.
Outdoor living and porches:
Expanded porches, decks, and outdoor living spaces are emphasized, often with weather-resistant materials and easy access from the living areas.
