Spray Rock Cottages were developed as an important component of the Weekapaug Inn development plan on the oceanfront of Weekapaug village in Westerly, RI. The cottages are designed for year-round habitation but purchasers would also have the option of renting the cottages through the hotel as part of its inventory. Cottage owners would have access to hotel amenities including public rooms, dining, pool, spa and beach access.

Many considerations went into the planning of the cottages including views from within, privacy for occupants, solar orientation, respect for site lines from neighboring properties, CRMC set-backs as well as flood zone elevation and construction requirements. Respect for the primacy of the main inn and its great lawn was another important factor in the siting of the cottages. To preserve and encourage the history of pedestrian access through the Weekapaug campus, vehicular access was hidden and private parking was tucked below the units, creating a better sense of community and transitional zones from public to private.

A set of designs was developed for five different cottages. Several exterior views and the floor plans for Cottage 4 are shown above.
