HOUSE IN THE DUNES - WESTHAMPTON DUNES, NY
Great projects start with great clients, and this was no exception. Though we had tremendous town restrictions, the clients gave us the freedom to create the interior spaces and exterior detailing that brought everything together. We wanted a design that had architectural appeal but wasn’t overwhelming. Because the home is not large, there were many smaller details incorporated in the exterior to create more interest and a larger appearance.
The front tower recalls a lighthouse, while the playful arch is carried through to the rear for consistency. The side porch not only widens the look but allows one level living and access to the rear deck and pool. Details at the corners are meant to resemble shutters, in a modern interpretation of a traditional cottage element. Lattice was used to close-in the necessary pile foundation.
We wanted to maximize the views to the bay behind the house, as well as maintain some privacy from the proximity of the neighboring houses. The windows are located to frame views and block out the neighbors. The large windows, porches, and balconies are on the front and rear of the house, focusing the views from the interior on the beach and bay, and the side porch creates privacy for the windows on the left side of the house.
The interior was designed to have an open feeling with a panoramic view of the bay. Details and furniture were kept simple in order to keep the focus on the view out to the bay. Colors, fabrics, and furniture were coordinated with our layout and built ins. The beams in the great room break up an otherwise large and flat ceiling.
