THE LONG ISLAND ACTOR’S HOME INCLUDES THE KITCHEN, LAUNDRY AND ENTRANCE RENOVATION OF THE BRIDGE BETWEEN ONE OF THE OLDEST STANDING HOMES IN SOUTHOLD, NY AND AN EXISTING NEW ADDITION. THE INTERIOR FINISHES CONNECT BOTH SPACES, WITH NODS TO THE ORIGINAL HISTORIC HOME AND THE LUXURY LIVING NEW YORKERS REQUEST OF THE NORTH FORK. THE ENTRANCE SPACES PROVIDE A CALM RETREAT AWAY FROM THE BUSYNESS OF THEATRE IN NEW YORK CITY.
THE SOUTHOLD RESIDENCE IS AN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR RENOVATION OF A TRADITIONAL NORTH FORK HOME, WITHOUT EXPANDING THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT. THE DESIGN EXERCISE REQUIRED A CLOSE REVIEW WITH THE CLIENT TO ENSURE THE NEW LAYOUT WOULD PROVIDE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY FOR THEIR ROUTINES AND RITUALS. WE ACHIEVED A MODERN LOOK WHILE EXPOSING AND REFINING ELEMENTS THAT REFLECT TRADITIONAL NORTH FORK STRUCTURES.
