Westhampton Beach, NY
Located on a narrow strip between the Atlantic Ocean and Moriches Bay, this weekend retreat was designed for three (now four) generations of a large, active family, providing comfort for quiet moments, as well as dinnertime meals for twenty people.
The spaces enjoy light-filled vistas, the ocean’s briny fragrance, and ample proportions. A tall living space is the house's focal point and is paired with an outdoor living area which doubles its size. A sail-cloth roof and slatted screen walls frame views and provide sunbathing privacy.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are organized in an adjacent, two-story volume. Each bedroom enjoys a private deck and ocean views. A hot-tub room with sliding glass walls lets the steam mix with cooler ocean airs.
