Long Island House
Designed in direct response to its coastal setting on Long Island’s eastern shore, this beach house is composed of two volumes—a main living area and a separate recreation pavilion—set on a base that extends into the dunes. The northern approach presents a solid, stone-clad façade with carefully placed openings, while the southern elevation opens fully to the ocean with floor-to-ceiling glazing. At the heart of the home, a double-height gathering space anchors the interior, with private family areas positioned along the edges for a balance of openness and retreat.
