6 Great Circle

Shelter Island, New York

The house, terrace and pool seen from above the garden

Some places tell you they have been cared for long before you arrive.

We found this one on Great Circle. Quiet streets, an open sky, mature trees and a gentle, private lot. There was little to discuss.

Through the Juno lens

Every Juno home is designed and built by one team.

Architecture, landscape, interiors and delivery are held by one team, so the intent behind a drawing survives to the finished room. We would rather resolve a detail three times than accept a compromise a family would live with for thirty years.

  • The dining table set by the glazed wall at dusk

    Life comes first

    We begin with how a home will feel over many years.

  • The house, terrace, pool and lawn in one daylight view

    One connected process

    Considered together, from first sketch to final room.

  • Lime plaster, timber and a niche with dried flowers

    Care endures

    Made to stay relevant for generations.

How it is made

An architecturally built, high-performance home.

Every detail of 6 Great Circle was resolved before it was built: the proportion of each room, where the light enters, the few materials and how they meet. That precision is what lets the house feel calm. It is made to last, and to be lived in for generations.

  • Spaces

    One long room for the day, a quiet wing for the night, a suite that stands apart.

  • Materials

    Oak, lime plaster, stone and aged brass. Few materials, each one done well.

  • Services

    Heating, cooling and ventilation drawn into the plan from the first sketch, with nothing piercing the airtight layer.

  • Performance

    Walls, roof and windows that hold the temperature in every season.
