Thomas “Tom” Tate has spent nearly four decades as the president and owner of Tate Builders, Inc., a home design and build company located in Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. During his time in this position, Thomas E. Tate has overseen the construction of various types of homes on Martha's Vineyard, from modest cottages to much larger, complex projects. Located near Lambert’s Cove Beach, Minawetu is one of the company’s more complex home construction projects. A waterfront property with wide-open views of the Vineyard Sound and surrounding Elizabeth Islands, Minewetu features an exterior glass circle staircase and a number of rooftop amenities, including a pool, a deck, and multiple gardens. The construction process also involved the introduction of several green technologies. A variety of specialized materials were used during the construction of the Minawetu project, such as split-face Chelmsford granite slabs. All of these various elements were blended together under Terrapin Bright Green’s 14 patterns of biophilic design. Completed in the summer of 2021, Minawetu can be viewed by interested parties at tatebuildersmv.com.
