An expansion of the acclaimed White Elephant resort in Nantucket included the design of eight new buildings, and the renovation of four existing buildings. The expansion added privately-owned vacation residences and a full-service spa, fitness center, meeting space, restaurant, and lounge to this classic island resort. The new shingle-style, gambrel-roofed buildings were carefully detailed to blend with the renovated existing buildings, which were updated to luxury resort standards while still preserving their historic character. Arrowstreet’s work also included a master plan for the four-acre property, as well as the renovation and expansion of the original White Elephant in 2000.
