Summer Home

This extension project builds on a classical siding and roof structure Hamptons / North fork house. We added a flat roof contemporary 2nd/ floor, bringing a much needed master bedroom suite that is solely concentrating its views toward the sea. The large windows create a portal allowing for an immersive experience of living on the coast, directly enjoyable from the bed. Several elements of the house have also been upgraded to provide a better experience: a new entrance pavilion, an art storage garage and a guest house in a small nearby pavilion. More
