The design of this beach house emerges directly in response to its environmental context on Long Island’s eastern shore. The house comprises two volumes—a main living space and a recreation pavilion—both of which sit on a base that extends into the dunes. From the driveway entrance on the northern side, the house appears as a largely solid, stone-clad volume punctuated with rectangular windows. The south façade, on the other hand, features floor-to-ceiling windows that open the house to the landscape and maximize ocean views. A double-height gathering space at the core of the house provides a place for the clients to entertain guests, while more private family spaces are arrayed along the perimeters.
