A study in shingles on a Sagaponack waterfront residence. Fully expressed shingle classicism outside, borrowing details from historic architecture, paired with a spare, cool modernity within.

The garden side of the house was designed as a continuation of the architecture, shaped through a close dialogue between house and landscape. Brick paths, terraces, clipped hedges, and layered plantings create a sequence of outdoor rooms that feel both structured and deeply connected to the surrounding property.

Inspired by the historic relationship between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, the landscape by Deborah Nevins extends the experience of the home beyond its walls, softening the scale of the architecture while creating places to gather, walk, and spend time outdoors throughout the day.

A powder room that does more. Designed for entertaining, the shower is fully concealed within the wall paneling, disappearing when not in use. When needed, it unfolds into a full bath, adding flexibility without compromising the experience of the room. A thoughtful solution that balances beauty, function, and long term value.

Custom designed and hand crafted iron balusters by David DeSantis alongside a vintage marble console and 1940s Gio Ponti vessels. The kind of detail and craftsmanship that gives a new house the weight and character of one that has stood for a hundred years.

Two paneled openings, each concealing something entirely different. On one side, a fully equipped bar with integrated storage, a refrigerator, and high gloss lacquer with brass inlay and a coin edge toe kick. On the other, a private desk, designed for work, with a similar profile and detailing, but expressed in wood. Function, tailored and hidden in plain sight.

Designed for a young family on Nantucket, this beach house draws from the island’s shingle style traditions while creating a more relaxed and contemporary way of living by the water. Gardens, porches, and paths connect the house to the surrounding landscape, with views unfolding gradually toward the ocean.

Inside and out, the materials were chosen to feel familiar and enduring, weathered shingles, painted wood, soft textiles, and a palette shaped by sand, sky, and sea. The result is a house designed less around formality and more around the rhythms of summer living, and the wildlife that passes through it.

At Nushka Hoo, the living room was designed around the experience of being there, windows open to the salt air, a fire going in the evening, wood surfaces that gather wear and character over time. The materials were chosen as much for their texture and scent as for their appearance, drawing from the old seaside cottages of Rhode Island that shaped our understanding of what a house by the water should feel like.

Built for our family in Weekapaug, the house reflects a long tradition of coastal New England living, informal, durable, and meant to be used every day.

Drawing light deep into the apartment, the dining room opens off the hallway with east facing windows beyond. Just alongside, the butler’s pantry brings order to the everyday, with everything in its place, down to the silver.

A house that extends beyond its walls. Paths, gardens, and shaded spaces create places to walk, pause, and spend time outdoors, moving easily between landscape and home. Open and modern in its planning, yet grounded in the traditions of the Hamptons, it offers a way of living that feels connected and considered.

Honored to see this Hamptons home featured in Architectural Digest. Thank you to the entire AD team for telling its story so beautifully.

From the very first sketch, this house was a true collaboration. Thank you to our client, whose vision and rigor shaped each of the many decisions a project like this asks for. To Bryan O'Sullivan Studio, whose interiors gave the rooms their warmth and character. And to Deborah Nevins, whose landscape carries forward the spirit of Sir Edwin Lutyens through a quiet dialogue between house and garden.

Inspired by the legacy of Lutyens, the home draws on steeply pitched rooflines, weighty chimneys, brick and local stone, and carefully composed windows. As our partner Joe Carline puts it, it reflects the belief that “true luxury resides in the quiet perfection of proportion and the honest expression of materials.”

Deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this home to life.
