New Construction

The main focus for this new construction in Amagansett was for the client and his guests to feel as though they were immersed in nature.

One of the greatest pleasures of living in the Hamptons is the access to, and enjoyment of nature. This vacation home rises out of the sand, supported by 65 pressure treated, driven wood piles, with the two car garage and entry foyer on the lower level. To achieve a modern look with an “in nature” feel, we installed specially coated sun heat reflective glass throughout, taking advantage of the ocean views. The strategic design was within the town’s total height limitation code requirements and still achieved the desired modern style.

Exterior & Grounds

The formal modernistic architectural repertoire and details, in a language with minimal lines, facilitate the integration of the home with its surroundings. All native indigenous plantings were used to reestablish all the construction disturbed areas. The curved plane of the entry, street, and public facade alternate between empty and full spaces that frame the different views.

Interior

The grounds included substantially high sand dunes at the front of the property. Building restrictions on height required that all living spaces be built on the upper level, with a flat roof design. The living and bedroom spaces orient themselves toward the ocean, while providing screening from the road side.

This is a home designed purely for the pleasure of being in it. Plenty of storage was designed for all sorts of recreational summer and water activities. A billiards room was built on the lower level of the home with its own fireplace. The pool bath and changing area come right in off the lower pool decking and beach keeping all sand out of the house.

Kitchen & Bath

The dining ceiling is a double-sloped glass greenhouse system providing a totally outdoor experience which, at night time, has custom hidden “moon light” lighting. The open kitchen plan, as well as dining and living areas, were designed with easy access sliding glass doors to an abundance of elevated wood decks and open pipe railing.
