The Whale House
Provincetown, Massachusetts
A collaboration with photographer Joanna Maclennan for her first book, dedicated to unique homes built with foraged elements.
LOCATION / Paul Tasha’s private residence has been designed & patiently constructed, stone by stone through his strong will. It is located on a wooded hill of Provincetown’s East End.
THE STORY / Paul is always foraging. He also collects artifacts & rugs with superb character. When I first walked the sand floor of the Whale House, blinded by the contrast of sunny afternoon light, I felt like Jonah waking up in a whale belly….
This whale most certainly had swallowed a ship! Antique stoves, trunks & artifacts were slowly appearing out of the shadows between the cool stone walls… I named the house as I walked upstairs onto the incredible wood & stone composition surrounding a whale’s jaw bone hanged in the grande room.
Paul gets to call it home…
