Water’s Edge is situated high on a blu overlooking 
Gardiner‘s Island. The concept of this house was to blur 
the line between “indoor and outdoor”. The house 
takes advantage of the expansive views oered from 
the blu. Part of the owners’ wish was to include a 
space to display their extensive modern art collection. 
This was accomplished by creating a gallery space on 
the second oor which the owner would pass through 
as they went to and from the master bedroom. The 
gallery space is glad in stone panels. The gallery “tube” 
extends from exterior which creates the overhang at 
the entry, through the interior, which denes the 
dining space and then through to the exterior again. 
The entry is a connector between the main house and 
the guest wing. This exterior space creates an internal 
courtyard which has an exterior staircase which takes 
you from the lower levels to the upper levels of the 
house. Further blurring indoor and outdoor.
