Full Screen The Atrium with Apparatus Arrow light fixture. The atrium space is all glass panels stacked twenty feet high, filling the space with tons of natural light. It really opens the house up into the sky and surrounding landscape.
Full Screen Because the house is open plan, we used materials to create delineations between zones. The natural slate floor in the atrium creates a visual distinction between the atrium and the rest of the house.
Full Screen The staircase was designed by Steve Shroeder and built by Mark Cardone from Newmark Custom Homes. It started with our realization that we wanted to do something special to connect the two zones in the house.

Full Screen One of my favorite spots is the hearth, which really is the heart of the home and adds warmth in every sense of the word. The fireplace is constructed from a smooth black slate Veneer, and the hearth itself is raised to accommodate log storage beneath. I always love the coziness of exposed wood.

We wanted the interiors to add warmth and function to the house, in a subtle and unforced way. With less is more, every object must fit perfectly and feel just right – so, many of the pieces were custom made or painstakingly sourced from small furniture makers.
Full Screen The natural colors throughout were chosen to highlight the lush greenery outside – the effect is a calming, intimate space with an effortlessly modern style.

Full Screen The children had a specific vision for their spaces, so we tried to work with them to bring their imagination to life in a way that felt fluid with their parents’ sophistication. We teamed up with the girls to place pink star stickers on their wall.

Full Screen We wanted all the outdoor zones to be just as versatile as the interior. Because of the nature of the location, we were particularly insistent on connecting interior with exterior. Ultimately creating a year-round beach house that feels light, warm and welcoming, never fussy or forced.

Ultimately, the goal with any project is to do more with less, and that was a guiding principle here – a year-round beach house should feel light, warm and welcoming, never fussy or forced. For a family of six with a rotating door of friends and family the house needed to feel stylish but unpretentious, so we chose materials to ground the design in relaxed luxury. We gravitated toward natural, locally sourced materials: shingles, which are a Hamptons staple, clear cedar siding, glass, mahogany decks, cable railing systems with metal steps and bluestone patios. That’s a large part of why the home feels instantly familiar and comfortable as soon as you step inside the door.
