TenBerke has unveiled its design for an artist residence in Montauk, New York. Housed in a former horse stable dating back to the 1920s, the scheme will host artists as part of the Edward F. Albee Foundation.

The building, known as “The Barn,” has accommodated foundation-supported artists for over 50 years. TenBerke’s rehabilitation of the 3,300-square-foot structure will feature a shared library space that houses many of Albee’s own books and records and renovated sleeping quarters that offer each artist in residence a bedroom and private bathroom.

On the lower level, an expanded communal kitchen faces out onto surrounding wetlands, while a new elevator makes both levels accessible for all. The project will also see a 1,400-square-foot cottage rebuilt as a residence for the property’s caretaker. Throughout the revamp, a material palette of concrete and wood is intended to “age gracefully over time.”
