During a multi-phased schedule of design and construction, this house, sandwiched between the ocean and the dunes of Bridgehampton, will ultimately grow from 2,000 to 8,000 square feet.

The client wanted a series of beach pavilions that blurred the line between indoor and outdoor living.

When windows and doors are open, it's just as easy to reach another room by walking outside across a deck rather than through the house.

The house was designed to be well used and to accommodate a large extended family with frequent guests.

Spacious decks and patio areas were a principal feature of the design and were oriented to showcase the backyard as it meanders into the dunes.

We surrounded the large pool with a spacious patio, partially covered in a breezy aman.

We took a "skinned" approach to the exterior, using cedar with mahogany accents and a lead-coated copper that gives the house a "glazed" look.
