Best of Old and New

The residential architecture of the Hamptons, both historical and contemporary, plays a vital role in defining the region’s unique character, cultural heritage, and evolving identity. The Hamptons have long been a retreat for artists, intellectuals, and affluent residents. This history is reflected in its architectural landscape, which blends centuries of tradition with bold modernist innovation. ■ Historically, the Hamptons were characterized by Shingle Style homes, Colonial farmhouses, and modest fishing cottages. These structures, often built with local materials, were designed to harmonize with the natural environment—dunes, farmland, and coastline. They evoke a sense of simplicity, restraint, and a deep connection to place. This traditional architecture not only reflects the area’s agrarian roots but also serves as a visual archive of its transformation from a working-class community to a luxury destination.

■ In contrast, contemporary residential architecture in the Hamptons embraces minimalism, sustainability, and cutting-edge design. Modern homes often feature open floor plans, glass façades, and eco-conscious technologies, yet still seek to complement the natural surroundings. Notable architects like Norman Jaffe introduced bold new forms that challenge convention while maintaining sensitivity to context.

■ The coexistence of old and new architecture in the Hamptons is not simply aesthetic—it represents a dialogue between past and present. Preservation efforts ensure that historic homes remain intact, while new construction reflects contemporary values of innovation and environmental responsibility. Together, these architectural styles contribute to the region’s enduring appeal and distinctive identity. ■ Ultimately, the importance of Hamptons residential architecture lies in its ability to tell stories—of land, lifestyle, and legacy—while continuing to adapt to the needs and tastes of new generations.

Durable Designs

TIMELESS COASTAL HOMES DESIGNED TO WEATHER THE ELEMENTS

Luxury coastal properties, from the Hamptons to California, may look stunning and effortless, but much thought goes into making them strong and durable. After all, they are consistently exposed to harsh elements, such as salt air, wind, humidity, storms, and even snow.

Seasoned builders, architects, designers, and contractors know that every detail on the exterior matters to create a residence near the water that will last and impress for years to come. That’s where AZEK Exteriors comes in.

Innovative AZEK Exteriors stands out as the top choice for siding and trim and has established itself as an industry leader in exterior materials. Their AZEK PVC Trim is engineered to thrive where other materials fail, and is a must for many Hamptons builders.

Trim isn’t just a finishing touch. It plays a vital role in protecting and enhancing the exterior of a structure. Installed at siding interruption points such as windows, doors, and corners,

trim helps seal vulnerable areas against moisture intrusion while adding sophisticated, architectural character. Here, you can see how AZEK’s sophisticated and high-performance

products have graced luxury coastal homes across the country.

Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, AZEK crafts exterior solutions that are beautiful, long-lasting, and environmentally responsible. To read more about their superior materials and commitment to sustainability, visit cottagesgardens.com/azek.

DESIGN DISCOVERIES FROM THE HAMPTONS

IN FULL BLOOM | On the North Fork, Elizabeth Liegey creates a floral legacy.

Casually Elegant

Elizabeth Liegey’s Floral Homage to the North Fork

In the verdant embrace of the North Fork, a true passion blossomed for Elizabeth Liegey, the visionary behind True Elizabeth Flowers. After a successful career in marketing and brand strategy, Elizabeth (whose nickname is Betsy) is now “digging in and making my true passion a reality: arranging and designing flowers for others.” Hence the name ‘True Elizabeth’, her moniker. Her journey into floristry began unexpectedly in a California flower shop, where the entire sensory experience of creating tailor-made bouquets, experimenting with color and contrast, captivated her. Even as a marketer and mother, floristry remained a cherished creative pursuit, eventually leading her to graduate from the prestigious Flower School New York in Chelsea.

Liegey’s pivotal move to the North Fork in 2020 provided the perfect opportunity to bring this long-held dream to life. “I thought with the cottage in the back of the house, it just provided an opportunity to do something,” she recalls. This 800-square-foot cottage, originally an apartment, now serves as her creative hub. One room transformed into a cooler, the central area dedicated to arranging, and every “nook and cranny” filled with essentials like “vases, ribbons, chicken wire, archways, tools, baskets, candle holders, paint.” She adds, “As a floral designer, there is always something you need to figure out how to do. It requires being inventive and having different items on hand. Plus, a great local hardware store is nearby.”

Her business blossomed from a serendipitous encounter in 2021 when Lori Guyer of White Flower Farmhouse in Southold allowed her to display arrangements. “I had a woman come up to me and ask me if I did weddings, and then it just kind of snowballed from there,” Liegey shares. Immersion in the North Fork’s vibrant wedding scene and its supportive community of female entrepreneurs, including fellow florists and event planners, proved invaluable. “It’s a very, very generous community. Everyone’s kind of helping each other,” she notes, highlighting partnerships with local growers like North Fork Flower Farm, Pierpont Blossom Farms, and Salt Air Farm.

Liegey describes her distinctive style as “casually elegant.” Her arrangements eschew rigid structure for a more natural and playful aesthetic that is “always unique and personal.” As she explains, “I don’t want it to look like I put flowers in a vase. I want it to feel like it looks, and as natural as possible.” This organic approach often involves sourcing the best seasonal blooms from local flower farmers, her own “small cottage cutting garden,” and even foraging for greenery by the roadside.

For the designer, even a bouquet is far more than a simple gift. “There’s a misconception

Flower Power (clockwise across spread from left)

Liegey designs a True Elizabeth table arrangement and then uses it as a guide for duplicates made by her team of local, entrepreneurial women. Out of her 800-square-foot cottage behind her Greenport home, Liegey stores cut and conditioned flowers such as Zinnias, ranunculus, variegated Italian pittosporum, and cosmos for arrangements in a cooler room. Elizabeth (Betsy) Liegey outside her studio and cutting garden, where she frequently forages to create a natural feel in her designs. To prolong poppy life, Liegey cauterizes their stems immediately after cutting to seal in sap and enhance water absorption. trueelizabethflowers.com

that a bouquet is a quick and easy gift, and yet those who believe this overlook the thought and passion that goes into every arrangement and the intent of gifting a tailor-made, living work of art to a loved one.” She emphasizes the meticulous care given to each bloom, noting that proper conditioning—cutting stems at an angle, removing submerged foliage, and using flower food—is essential for longevity. While popular choices like ranunculus are “delicate, with fanciful texture,” Liegey constantly seeks to introduce event clients to “many interesting, beautiful flowers they may not be familiar with that will add unique beauty and interest to their ceremony and reception.”

Her business, True Elizabeth, now thrives yearround, balancing the intense “floral season” from May through October with off-season proposals and planning. She collaborates closely with event planners and has built strong relationships with venues such as Meadowlark and Breeze Hill, where her installations frequently transform the spaces. Liegey credits her success to her team of “incredibly wonderful women” from the North Fork’s creative community, who help bring her vision to life. “Once you can establish a look and feel, they can get their hands dirty and can begin duplicating what you’re doing,” she shares, praising their “hearts of gold.” From hand-picking local flora to nurturing client visions, Liegey crafts living works of art that capture the spirit of the North Fork. Her commitment to natural beauty, personalized design, and community collaboration ensures that every True Elizabeth floral creation is not just an arrangement, but a unique, heartfelt expression. —Doug Young

Height of Summer

Expert advice and planting tips, plus summery, booze-free garden cocktails.

WHAT TO GROW NOW

For gardeners craving a big splash of color, hardy hibiscus, aka rose mallow, delivers towering presence. Unlike their tropical hibiscus cousins, which don’t do well once the mercury dips below 50°F, native rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) attracts pollinators; thrives in full sun; appreciates consistent moisture; and dies back in winter—only to return with a flourish of oversized blooms in summer. Fast growing, these low-maintenance beauties can grow three to seven feet tall and up to four feet wide, adding tropical impact to perennial gardens, hedges, and borders.

Hardy Hibiscus

Among the standout cultivars, ‘Lord Baltimore’ dazzles with deep red flowers on four-foot stems, while ‘Luna Red’ offers a more compact profile and richly colored blooms perfect for mid-border planting. ‘Strawberry Swirl’ brings a painterly touch with pale pink petals and red centers. For smaller spaces, ‘Disco Belle Pink’ is tidy, floriferous, and long-blooming. For drama with a different silhouette, try scarlet rose mallow (Hibiscus coccineus), a southeastern native with star-shaped crimson flowers and slender, deeply cut foliage.

Any of the hardy cultivars in Proven Winner’s Summerific series are good bets as well, blooming reliably for weeks in high summer. ‘Berry Awesome’ offers soft lavender-pink blooms with dark foliage, while ‘Cookies and Creme’ pairs buttery yellow petals with a bold red eye. Though non-native, hardy Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is much loved for its tall, upright shrub form, and generous show of flowers, which range in color from white and yellow to varying shades of pink and purple.

ASK AN EXPERT Natural Swimming Pools

Ed Drohan, of Alter Ecosystem Ponds in Sag Harbor, explains the basics of building a natural swimming pool on the East End.

Natural swimming pools are chemical-free backyard alternatives to traditional pools. The concept originated in Europe, but it’s been catching on over the last decade with upscale American homeowners looking to combine sustainability with style. The appeal’s obvious: Imagine swimming or paddling in your own freshwater pond, complete with koi, water lilies, and dragonflies skimming the surface.

“By code, natural swimming pools are called recreational ponds in the Hamptons,” according to Drohan, who has spent nearly three decades designing and maintaining ponds on the South Fork. “A recreation pond (or any body of water over two feet intended for swimming) is treated like a pool, so as long as it’s within the building envelope, no additional permit is needed.”

For structural integrity and aesthetics, top builders like Drohan begin with a gravel-lined gunite shell surrounded by rocks and wetland plantings. Once everything’s in place, the gravel, aquatic plants, and fish, along with an external pump and skimmer, work together to filter impurities and keep the water moving, much like a spring-fed pond. “You need all the links in the chain. The fish eat bugs and algae, their waste adds nitrogen to feed the aquatic plants, which then help filter the water,” Drohan notes.

“Recreational ponds aren’t for everyone,” cautions Drohan, especially if you’re averse to algae or swimming alongside goldfish. “But there’s a beauty to having a recreational pond versus your typical chlorinated pool,” Drohan says. “You get a backyard swimming hole, plus fish, frogs, birds, and a much bigger bang for your buck in terms of nature.”

Old Is New Again

Baroness Sheri de Borchgrave chronicles a historical renovation project that was a labor of love.

Anthony Martignetti has worked hard to build a big life. With his brother Tom, in the last two decades he’s opened twelve restaurants in New York City, among them The East Pole, Canal Street Oysters, and Eastfields, as well as a nightclub and jazz club. He started his own wine brand and wrote a satirical book, Deep Thoughts from a Shallow Grave: Epitaphs to Die For. One day in 2016, he was driving around the North Fork of Long Island and spotted the crumbling Old Mill Inn, first built in the 1820’s as a grist mill, which was on the market for two million dollars. Martignetti decided to buy it, figuring it would be a fun and easy restoration project. What could possibly go wrong?

He closed on the property in February 2019. And now six intense years later, after putting a fortune into the restoration—enduring pandemic delays and historical renovation board runarounds, and raising the entire building to 28 feet over the Mattituck Inlet to adhere with FEMA guidelines (lifting the structure five feet, and installing 67 new timber pilings in the water)—the Old Mill

Inn is fully restored and open for business as a classic American seaside tavern.

I first met Martignetti and his wife Angela Ledgerwood at a New York state winemaker event in Manhattan, “Cab Franc Forward,” promoting the state’s most successful grape varietal (they were pouring tastes of their Old Sound Vineyard Cabernet Franc). He mentioned his massive restoration project and the tavern he planned to open in May. Intrigued, I followed up with a call a few months later.

“The Old Mill Inn was such a gem of a building,” said Martignetti when I reached him.

“There was nothing like it on the East Coast. This 199-year-old mill was sitting here completely unloved, sinking into the water. I said to myself, ‘I must save it.’”

Hidden away on a dead-end road facing a little marina, the Old Mill Inn has had many lives since its grist mill days. It was a popular speakeasy and jazz bar during the prohibition era. “Back in the day, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard used to be regulars at the inn,” Martignetti said.

“I love old buildings,” Martignetti continued.

“My brother and I have restaurants in three

landmark buildings—in an Upper East Side brownstone, a gorgeous Beaux-Arts building in Tribeca, and another landmark in SoHo on Broome Street.” And the brothers have a new restoration project underway, transforming an 1867 carriage house on East 57th (the former home of Neary’s pub) into a new restaurant in their portfolio.

With the Old Mill project, Martignetti served as both designer and project manager, on site throughout the two-year process. He didn’t anticipate the quagmire he’d face navigating state and local boards. The pandemic closed all agencies for about nine months and when they reopened, he found himself ricocheting between town and state authorities and a host of historical landmark boards.

“The size of the inn’s windows became an issue,” he said. “The state historical people said the windowpanes and openings must be a certain size, but the town said that the size was not egress-worthy from the inside.” A wonderful lawyer helped him navigate.

From the start Martignetti knew that the mill had to be lifted out of the water, which was done by a lifting crew from Dawn House Movers, who put the mill on dry land and then after the foundation was built, moved it back nine months later.

“The most fascinating part was working with the best marine contractors, Chesterfield Associates, who did the new timber pilings and built a seawall,” Martignetti said. Once the building was back on its foundation, he started the actual renovation. Everything, from the shingles to the interior beams, date back to the 1870s and all the interior woodwork was done by master carpenters.

“For the floors we salvaged all the old pilings that were underwater for 200 years,” he explained. A lumber mill in Pennsylvania milled them down and turned them into floorboards to be used throughout the inn, including the upstairs three-bedroom loft, impeccably decorated by his wife, and now

available to rent. Martignetti added wooden booths and a wood-burning stove to the tavern, making it cozy for year-round use. He painted the exterior the original shade of red.

Before the opening in May, Martignetti worked with his chef, Kyle Bloomer, on developing a menu of updated seafood classics, including fried oyster sliders and striped bass curry. The bar menu includes classic cocktails (housemade Martinis and Negronis on draft) and seasonal cocktails (Spicy Paloma, Classic Painkiller, Watermelon Margarita). The wine list is half from New York and half from Europe.

Along with Jura and Beaujolais reds, and Loire Valley whites, the list includes Martignetti’s own Old Sound Vineyard wines—including a pet-nat rosé, a skin-contact orange chardonnay, a rosé, and a varietal cabernet franc. His wines are made by Byron Elmendorf, the winemaker from nearby Macari Vineyard (the region’s leading organic winery, celebrating its 30th anniversary). Martignetti bought eight acres near Macari’s 500-acre wine estate in Mattituck.

“Was your six-year restoration effort worth it?” I wondered. His response was enthusiastic. “There’ve been so many upsides,” he said. “Without the Old Mill I wouldn’t have known of a vineyard for sale, which I bought in 2021. And I got so close to the local community that Angela and I decided to live in Mattituck year-round.” They’ve been residents of the area for a year and a half, living with their newborn son Max on the Old Sound Vineyard property, just two miles up the road from their new tavern.

The Inside Scoop on East End Real Estate | BY

MONICA MICHAEL WILLIS

Unlike much of the country, where economic uncertainty has cooled the housing market, deep-pocketed Hamptons buyers have remained remarkably steady—largely unfazed by Beltway politics or the fluctuating Dow. In fact, in the second quarter of 2025, overall Hamptons home sales rose 15 percent year-over-year, with successful closings on 70 $5-million-plus listings—a 28 percent increase in luxury transactions compared to 2024. And in June, homes sold in an average of 82 days—five days faster than the same time last year—suggesting that high-end inventory is still moving briskly when priced right.

There’s no bad news here. The numbers make it clear: sellers remain in the driver’s seat, and buyers shouldn’t dillydally if they see something they love. Real estate, at least in the near term, remains a solid investment.

Summer’s Final Surge

Here, a few exceptional properties to consider as the last few weeks of the official summer season wind down. We’ve got a Westhampton family compound with a guest house and private dock; a glamorous, no-expensespared new build in Water Mill; and one of the last remaining 19th-century horse farms on Shelter Island. And don’t miss the incredibly chic, turnkey estate in Bridgehampton, designed by the immensely talented James Michael Howard. The stylish property comes fully loaded and move-in ready. All you’ll need to bring is your toothbrush, some clothes—and proof you’re good for close to $19 million.

East End Elegance 70 Matthews Lane in Bridgehampton is being sold turnkey, everything included, for just under $19 million.

There’s a separate cedar-shake guest house with an eat-in kitchen, a comfortable living room with a rustic stone fireplace, and two spacious bedrooms with private baths.

As for outbuildings (Ah, the possibilities!), there’s a detached three-bay garage, a 2,000-square-foot guest house, three separate paddocks, and a four-stall barn with 15-foot ceilings, attached tack room, and trainer’s studio. Nature lovers will find the peaceful rhythms of this once-in-a-generation listing attractive, too, as stone walls give way to meadows, specimen trees, covered porches, a secret garden, and 60-foot-long pool. Contact Nick Gavin at Compass to tour 79 N. Midway Road; (646) 610-3055.

BRIDGEHAMPTON BRILLIANCE

This stylish Bridgehampton family estate, which ICAA award-winning designer James M ichael Howard called “one of his favorite projects of all time,” is being sold turnkey, everything included, for just under $19 million. To get the look, Howard, who worked with McAlpine Architecture and Landscape Details, employed sumptuous textiles; a rich, earthy palette; and unexpected art and accessories to give the seven-bedroom manse a sophisticated glow up. Located at 70 Matthews Lane in Bridgehampton, the 11,600-square-foot, estate has a cozy eat-in kitchen that seats 10, and a great room with 30-foot beamed ceilings and a freestanding custom fireplace. Accessed via an elevator, the lower level houses a party-friendly, 16-seat home theater and a rec room with a fireplace and custom billiards table.

In the backyard, stone terraces are framed by grassy lawns, specimen trees, and hydrangeas. The beautiful pool area exudes posh, resort-y vibes, likely due to its lovely cabana and breezy pool house with a built-in kitchen and outdoor fireplace.

Best of all, the gorgeous house is located mere minutes from both the village and ocean beaches. Hedgerow Exclusive Properties holds the listing; (631) 296-8543.

BIG DEAL

At the end of a quiet Water Mill cul-de-sac, this newly constructed estate— designed by Gabellini Sheppard and Joshua Gurwitz—melds meditative Japanese Teahouse design with Brazilian Modernism’s bolder aesthetics. The juxtaposition is evident throughout the sprawling 12,900-square-foot, seven-bedroom retreat: A Zenlike entry pond rests just off the estate’s double-height foyer, which opens to a dramatic great room with 27-foot ceilings, a monolithic custom fireplace, and walls of floor-to-ceiling Alvio glass. Airy and uncluttered, the high-end kitchen features Gaggenau appliances and impeccable millwork by Henrybuilt. The chic second-floor primary, which overlooks Hayground Cove, includes a covered terrace with ipe decking and frameless glass railings that almost disappear against the horizon. A sybaritic paradise lies just out back: the 2.8-acre grounds feature several distinct garden pavilions designed for relaxation, as well as a sunken firepit lounge, heated saline pool/spa and Har-Tru tennis court, a professional outdoor kitchen, and more than 175 feet of western-facing waterfront, including a private dock with access to Mecox Bay. Unsurprisingly, modern luxury this bespoke isn’t cheap: Priced to sell at $60 million, 140 Hayground Cove is a Bespoke Realty exclusive; (631) 500-9030.

QUIET CONFIDENCE

IN SOUTHAMPTON, ARCHITECT ANDRE KIKOSKI CREATES A SERENE ESCAPE WITH FAMILY IN MIND.

The exterior of the home shows the vast oceanfront views.

The saying “less is more” is popular for a reason, and it couldn’t ring truer than in the case of this Southampton residence. With a site this stunning—3.3 acres flanked by a freshwater pond and the Atlantic Ocean—the most important thing, according to architect Andre Kikoski, is allowing the location to speak for itself. When the architect was tapped for the project, the clients had just purchased the 1980s Shinglestyle structure after renting it for a couple of seasons. And although the owners fell in love with the setting, the house needed a major refresh if it was to serve as a forever home for their large family. On the agenda: Cleaning up the roofline and modifying the massing, opening up the choppy layout, expanding the top floor primary suite, and reorganizing the additional

eight bedrooms on the lower level. “Since the clients had rented the property prior to purchasing it, they knew what they liked and what needed to be eliminated or optimized,” explains the architect.

One of the most pressing concerns, says Kikoski, was that “the original residence’s ground level looked right into the dunes, so essentially 50 percent of the house was cut off from the ocean views.” As it just so happened, FEMA’s current flood zone requirements forced the team to raise the entire 10,000-square-foot bi-level structure 10 feet, thus recapturing the views. Now the residence sits gracefully atop a limestonewrapped reinforced-steel flood story, which houses the garage, basement, and main entry. The entry itself makes quite the first impression, featuring a triple-height glass-and-cerused-oak staircase with a custom illuminated glass sculpture crafted by Czech company Lasvit. The original building’s upside down layout was maintained, with the majority of the bedrooms on the first level above the entry, and the main living areas as well as the primary suite on the top floor where the views are best. “We were restricted from expanding the home beyond its current footprint, so the layout remained more or less the same,” says Kikoski. “We did think about how a large family can live together while retaining some privacy. There are a variety of

living spaces, from a den, lounge, and combination kitchenetteand-dining area on the lower level to the library upstairs. Even when the house is full, everyone can comfortably coexist.”

This idea of feeling comfortable and relaxed—along with a sense of elegance and refinement—drove the restrained materials palette, which features cerused white oak, limestone, granite, porcelain tiles, and sleek Poliform cabinetry inside. “The oak floors and ceilings create a warm, soothing cocoon,” notes Kikoski. “We like the challenge of simplicity and selecting materials that help highlight the beauty of the site.” However, despite the overall effect being simple, a great deal of research went into selecting the materials—especially when it came to those on the exterior, which needed to withstand the site’s harsh elements as well as satisfy the homeowner’s request for items that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. The team landed on a panel system made of recycled resins, concrete, and marble dust that’s poured against slabs of slate to impart texture. This is paired with a limestone base, a metal roof, and wood accents that have been naturally treated to withstand weathering. “The house dissolves into the site,” says the architect.

To help carry out this serene feeling, the clients called on West Palm Beach–based McCann Design Group to furnish the interiors. “The wife’s taste normally skews more traditional, while the husband’s leans more contemporary, so we tried to balance that,” says the firm’s Ashley Warren of the mostly custom furnishings upholstered in durable, yet luxurious, performance fabrics. “We selected soft shades and textured fabrics and wall coverings that complement the natural surroundings. We played a bit more with color in some of the bedrooms and baths, but the main objective was for the home to feel inviting and calm when you walk in.” In the end, it’s all about spending quality time with family. “This home,” says Kikoski, “is a vessel for multiple generations to gather and live in harmony with the place.” ✹

JASON POREMBA AND DAVID SCOTT CREATE A NEW LIGHT-FILLED MODERN MASTERPIECE OF A HOUSE.

Both the architect and interior designer have long known the very land this house occupies in Water Mill. Where there had once been a residence on two lots overlooking the Atlantic Golf Club, there is now this new house on one of those sites. By sheer cosmic coincidence, both architect Jason Poremba and interior designer David Scott worked, independently of one another, on that former house years ago. To keep the story simple, this homeowner later commissioned Poremba and Scott to create a new modern masterpiece of a house.

Poremba has worked almost everywhere in the Hamptons. He affectionately refers to himself as “a homegrown unicorn,” referencing that he grew up in Southampton—with his parents having owned a once-popular auto-parts business in town. Although Poremba cites his Italian and Polish roots, he can trace part of his ancestry back to the 1640s in Southampton. “I am truly a homegrown architect,” he emphasizes, “and I admit that I have special pride

in designing houses that have the right impact and footprint out here.”

The client and his wife wanted a decidedly contemporary house to occupy this site within a putt of one of the club’s greens. While the resulting L-shaped house features seven bedrooms, it occupies a mere portion of the site. “So many new houses out here have no breathing room,” says Poremba.

“This homeowner wanted his house to breathe, have space around it.” Broad cantilevered decks and overhangs, some cut with filtering brise soleils, terraces off bedrooms, and moments of transparency where one can look through the house front to back work to minimize the structure’s presence on the land.

Scott echoes that sentiment by emphasizing that the homeowners “wanted a lot of air around things. Their intention was to keep the views open and foster a sense of lightness inside. When configuring interiors in a modern house with big windows and rectilinear lines, designing rooms is not so much about layering but about carefully focusing on each item.”

Among the most arresting architectural elements is Poremba’s two-story glass entry, akin to

Dining In Style (this page) In the kitchen, the cabinetry, range, hood and island are by Boffi. The pendant above the island is from Roll & Hill. (opposite) Chairs from DDC surround a custom table from A.R.S. Antiqua Co., LLC in the dining room.

an atrium, that fosters a sense of transparency. The dramatic arrival point, zippered with a floating staircase, is flooded with light and serves as a dividing line between private and public parts of the house. While many of the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout are fixed, some in the bedrooms function as sliders, creating a seamless connection between outside and inside.

A thoroughly contemporary home should also embrace cutting-edge technology. The “smartglass” windows and doors incorporate a technology that enables them to automatically respond to the light outside, darkening as sunlight increases. Concomitant with these subtle changes, the lights inside are programmed to brighten as the light outside fades. “In that sense, the house itself feels organic, maybe even breathing,” says Poremba. Scott, meanwhile, responded to the house’s rectilinearity by furnishing rooms with organic forms. Sinuous, seemingly amorphous sofas and chairs, lighting fixtures and coffee tables occupy the inte-

riors, at once spare but not stark. “When you have hard architectural lines,” says Scott, “I love to soften them with organic shapes. Softer forms are easier on the eyes. They create a sense of flow.”

For the living room, Scott chose Stahl and Bend’s “Sunnyside Up” walnut coffee table, noted for a shape that harkens to a frying egg, in addition to rounded sofas and chairs. He also has a penchant for using recyclable materials, evidenced in a sculptural

chair made of wood and plastic that presents itself as a series of ribbon folds. A multicolored table in a sitting area is composed of discarded plastics that were melted and poured into a circular form.

Both Poremba and Scott cite the collaborative, open-minded nature of the clients as the key variable in the success of the finished house. “I thrive when a client allows me creative freedom,” says Poremba. “and this project really was the first opportunity I

had to showcase my skill set.” Scott concurs. “I really feel that this house embodies the best of contemporary design in that everything in it will still feel good over many years. Jason tells a great architectural story and I hope the interiors do the same.” As for the site on which the residence sits, Poremba adds, “It’s remarkable that years later, David and I found ourselves working together on a project where we had both been before.” ✹

SEEING IT THROUGH

A SAGAPONACK HOUSE MAKES ITSELF KNOWN ON ITS LAND, WHILE HONORING THE LANDSCAPE THAT SURROUNDS IT.

WRITTEN BY DAVID MASELLO | PHOTOGRAPHS BY READ MCKENDREE/JBSA

Upon arriving at this Sagaponack house, what comes into view first is what lies behind it. While the twowinged, red cedar-clad residence announces itself as a distinctive architectural presence on the land, it’s the fields beyond, dense with fruit and lavender trees, that assume a visual priority, with the plantings backdropped by the shimmer of Sagaponack Pond.

Prior to conceiving their design, the husband–wife architects Janara Garcia Soule and Steve Soule of Merrell Soule Architects recall the house that had once occupied the site, an otherwise “old, funky structure,” says Steve. “But there was one nice moment about it and that was a breezeway that served as an aperture to the backyard. We expanded on that when we designed this house for the clients.”

When coursing the handsome bricked walkway toward the house, what appears to be the front door, head on, is instead the glass breezeway linking the wings, through which is seen the private agricultural reserve. Suddenly, the walkway takes a sharp right angle to a discreetly recessed entry. “When we design front entrances, we rarely do it right in the middle,” says Janara, a detail that is one of many surprise elements they introduced.

Indeed, Janara and Steve both admit to conceiving every residence based first on a “diagrammatic process, rather than one based on style,” as he says. Each of the two wings contains three bedrooms, with a downstairs floor plan that is immediately logical and discernible. They even echoed their rectilinear plan on

the ceilings, fashioning what the interior designer for the project, Kathryn May, calls, “a modern take on the traditional coffered ceiling.” As Steve emphasizes, “The ceiling is dissected into the same module gridwork as the house itself.”

So attuned to effect is the Soule team that they chose ash wood for the interiors. “The clients, who are from Jamaica, wanted cool limestone floors,” Janara explains, and “we thought the ash would provide a better, lighter contrast.” The architects carefully ensured that the very graining of the ash wood would feature “cathedral graining,” whereby raw logs are cut flat to reveal the innate pattern. Meanwhile, all of the ash used in the kitchen as cabinetry and for the island was cut to emphasize a vertical grain. “The effect of the wood in the kitchen is softer to the eyes,” says Janara. A single horizontal pane of glass serves as a backsplash, while frosted-glass cabinets become strong visual moments, while still serving their purpose.

The house manages to foster a constant interplay between indoors and outdoors. A roof deck situated over the main living area allows for expansive views of the terrain, while his and her offices are tucked into dormered areas that embrace the landscape. “We wanted to get those two offices higher than any other place in the house,” says Steve, “and that was a challenge. But by putting them where they are as dormers, they’re essentially a half-story higher than anything else on the second floor.”

The clients commissioned May, a fellow Jamaican with whom they had worked on their home in Jamaica, to configure the interiors. “What I love about this house,” says May, “is the rectilinear qualities that the architects were so keen on.” But to soften those sometimes hard effects and to present a corollary to the right angles, May chose curvaceous sofas and coffee tables, rounded ottomans and lighting fixtures that assume sculptural forms. Wood-fired porcelain pendants hang over the kitchen island, which were sculpted, fired, and tinted by her brother David Pinto, a noted Jamaican-based ceramic artist. “The thing about wood firing is that you never know how it will affect the finish, but these came out right,” she emphasizes.

Elsewhere, for instance in the media room, May speaks about wanting to “honor the architecture and the masculinity of the design, but also to add warmth and comfort by using elements that are natural and organic in shape and color.” By evening, the living room assumes a glow from an ordered galaxy of amorphously shaped wicker fixtures from Palecek.

The house has settled—seemingly grown—into its site. “It’s rare to have clients who really appreciate architecture,” says Janara. “They gave us a lot of liberty to express what we wanted.” ✹

SAWYER BERSON CRAFTS AN EASYLIVING YET TIMELESS BEACH HOME IN EAST HAMPTON VILLAGE FOR THEIR LONGTIME FRIENDS.

QUINTESSENTIAL COTTAGE

With cedar shingles, a gambrel roof, working shutters, and clipped boxwood balls, this summer cottage designed by Sawyer Berson looks like it could have always been a part of East Hampton Village. However, up until recently a pokey 1950s ranch house occupied the lot on Egypt Lane. The property’s owners are longtime friends of architectural designer and landscape architect Brian Sawyer and architect John Berson, the co-founders of the firm Sawyer Berson.

“We’d talked about doing something with their house for years,” says Sawyer. But after nearly three decades the owners decided they didn’t want to renovate, they wanted to start over completely–and of course, they wanted to work with their close friends. Sawyer and Berson brought on H.F. Swanson Construction to build the new house.

The owners desired a timeless house set up for indooroutdoor living with a primary suite on the ground floor and as many bedrooms as they could fit on the second. (The couple loves to host.) They were restricted in how many square feet they could build, but Sawyer and Berson, masterfully fit three ensuite bedrooms and a sitting room with a pullout sofa into

Inspired By History (below) Sawyer and Berson studied local historic houses for architectural inspiration, including the unusual crutch-shaped columns. “It was a delight to use those profiles,” says Sawyer.

See Resources

the second story. The architects also made strategic use of dormers in the roofline, including one which accommodates the handsome stairwell. Downstairs, the living spaces all flow into one another with the primary suite tucked away into one corner.

The H-shaped configuration at the back of the house creates a patio between the primary bedroom and the kitchen, effectively creating an outdoor living room. Careful planning also went into how the house interacts with the patio, lawn terrace, swimming pool, and pool pavilion, all of which feel deeply connected to the house. Sawyer was also responsible for the planting design, which includes a perennial garden, punctuated with arborvitae and witch hazel against a backdrop of clipped hedges and London plane trees.

Sawyer and Berson say their foundation of friendship with the owners helped the project run especially smoothly. “We knew each other so well we were finishing each other’s sentences,” says Sawyer. “We have a similar point of view, similar taste, and the process was very organic and comfortable.”

Sawyer Berson works in a wide range of architectural styles, but in this instance they looked to local historic homes for inspiration. “We like very rigorous, historically-inspired interior and exterior detailing,” says Sawyer of the house’s architectural language, which references 18th and 19th century profiles. The exterior detailing of this house is particularly successful,

Corner Kitchen (left) The kitchen feels larger than its footprint thanks to windows on three sides and a banquette built into the corner. “It is incredibly efficient,” says Sawyer. Just A Pop (below) Painted in Benjamin Moore’s Cottage Red, the island and the Louis Poulson pendants overhead draws focus in the kitchen. Opalescent tile adds richness. See Resources

Geometrically Opposed The gable ends of the two ground floor wings lend a sense of monumentality and contrast with the gambrel roof of the main body of the house. The rear terrace is all rigidly geometric, in contrast to the house’s more traditional silhouettes. See Resources

Arc de Triomphe (this image) The arched opening under the stair adds charm to the interior architecture while providing clear sight lines through the ground floor. Dining In the Round (opposite) Sawyer Berson had the dining table custom made to pair with the vintage Charlotte Perriand chairs. The pendant lamp and metal chairs are also vintage finds. See Resources

including how the pitch of the roof sweeps dramatically down to the front porch. “We exaggerated the rake profile under the eave at the gable side,” explains Sawyer. “These sorts of details become really important–when you get them right, they feel great.” However, that refined architectural detail is counterbalanced by a few moments of architectural levity–including small square windows punched into the house for the stairwell and a shower. “This kind of house needs a little bit of a silly gesture too,” says Sawyer of the quirky openings.

The interior decoration departs from tradition with more modern furnishings, a juxtaposition that helps the house feel fresh. The subdued materials palette feels at home near the beach with light-colored wood floors, creamy paints, and

printed cotton fabrics throughout. But there are a few surprises thrown into the mix, including a media room color-drenched in lavender, a bold red kitchen island, and playful shearling upholstery on the Marco Zanuso chairs in the living room. The mix of new and vintage pieces, including several iconic designs, gives the house the feeling of having been collected over time, even though they had started from scratch with the furnishings.

What Sawyer and Berson love most about the house they designed for their friends has nothing to do with the refinements of the architecture or the very tasteful furnishings–it’s the overall feeling of the place. “The house lives really well,” Sawyer says. “There’s a level of comfort to it that is joyful.” ✹

French Connection

Penny Drue Baird Shares What’s Up in Saint-Tropez.

Saint-Tropez is a unique place. While most resorts in the world have succumbed to brand frenzy, Saint-Tropez has both embraced haute gamme and maintained many of its old-time customs and secrets. I’ve been traveling to the area almost every summer for decades—here’s a mix of both old and new school favorites.

AFRICAN QUEEN

Old school, but new for St. Tropez. Everyone knows the African Queen from Beaulieu. Now your Marché mornings are replete with their delicious coffee, and later with your pasta and pizza until the wee hours.

AREV ST. TROPEZ new school

You can’t be all things to all people, but you can try. And the Arev (right) does. A welcome addition to the St. Tropez hotel scene, this beautifully decorated hotel can be a home away from home. It boasts a padel court, a re-invention of the restaurant The Strand, and one of my favorite bars around, day or night, for drinks with or without a perfect club sandwich.

ASH CONCEPT new school

I have to stop in for my yearly pair of beaded St. Tropez sandals and their other original must-haves.

AUBERGE DE LA MÔLE

old school at its best

I don’t recommend driving in beach rushhour traffic to dine here, but if you go a little later, I wouldn’t miss it. It is impossible to capture in words the atmosphere and the step back in time. It is beyond delicious and reasonable. The wine list has a story all its own, and it’s a must for wine connoisseurs. There is simply nothing else as fun as dining in this old gas station. When you’re reading the wine list, you can’t reconcile the disconnect between the collection available and the setting! (Take cash—does not accept credit cards.)

MARCHÉ PLACE DES LICES very old school

The St. Tropez Marché (left), every Tuesday and Saturday morning, is truly magical. It never gets old. Although many of my favorite antique dealers have long disappeared from the mini area allocated for antiques, I still always manage to find more small items than I can carry. The array of colors, from foutas to placemats to tomatoes, is inspiring. The perfect place for gifts, snacks, and to just have fun. Don’t miss the tartine aux truffes.

ROLLS new school

If you need a quick snack, you can pop into Rolls and pick up a small rolled sandwich or rolled dessert.

SCARLETT / LIBRAIRIE new school

Fabulous bookstore that is not just for beautiful books, but also for great hostess gifts for the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to. And right next door, you can grab a coffee.

SÉNÉQUIER both old school and new school Ancestors would be rolling their eyes seeing white tablecloths, and we can only remember when the bakery opened, through a secret passage, to the Marché aux Herbes, where we got hot croissants at 4 a.m. after a night at Les Caves du Roy. But one can still have Café Granité, otherwise called Café Liégeois in the rest of France, and their renowned nougat, which you can bring home to everyone.

SUBE BAR old school

In the center of the port, you’ll find a statue of François Sibilli. Turn down that alley and see the entrance to Hôtel Sube. Climb to the top of the stairs and you will find yourself in a wonderful wood-clad bar that feels like you are on the inside of a ship. If you are lucky, you can snag one of the few tables on the mini terrace overlooking the port—a real trip to another century.
