Art For Living
The entry doubles as a gallery showcasing the clients’ collection of East Hampton painters. Works by John Little and Charlotte Park are hung in a brutalist shell of concrete floors and stucco walls flanked by a Hans Wegner chair upholstered in green leather.
A Fine Foyer
To create a sense of drama in the entry, architect Edward Wendt and designer Eddie Lee introduced an ellipse in the ceiling to show the living room above. The ceilings are high-gloss Farrow and Ball paint and the oak stairs are open to let light in.
Shades of Gray
The open dining, kitchen and living area evokes a masculine, modern aesthetic with concrete floors and a bleached oak ceiling, exposed steel beams and cold-rolled steel cabinetry. An 18th-century Coromandel screen is repurposed as the doors to a recessed china cabinet. The central column evokes a tree trunk rooted in the Zen garden below. A Berman Rosetti dining table from Ferrell Mittman and B&B Italia chairs sit below an Apparatus light fixture.
Bringing The Outside In
The masculine charcoal-and-gray scheme continues in the covered porch and serves as a strong counterpoint to the lush green foliage. A specimen Japanese maple anchors the garden and a Brown Jordan sectional and chairs, coffee table from Stone Yard Inc. and Perennials rug populate the room.
Bathing Beauty
Mosa tile, Vola sink fixtures and a custom-designed vanity in a guest bathroom.
Room With a View
This is the view that sold the clients on the property: a modern scheme juxtaposed with light and dark. The clients wanted it to feel masculine but still inviting and soulful. A B&B Italia sectional, James Devlin Studio coffee table and ottoman, 18th-century wingback chair, Apparatus light fixture and Kyle Bunting rug from Edelman Leather fill the space.
A Natural Mood
Custom-designed laser-cut oak closet doors are based on 19th-century Japanese woodblock prints. The doors, along with the dresser and television cabinet, were fabricated by Trunzo Building.
Artful Autos
The garage doubles as a party shed and houses the clients’ extensive collection of 19th-century portraiture.
Pool Rules
The infinity pool overlooks protected wetlands and Gardiners Bay. Chaise longues are by Brown Jordan, and a custom-designed daybed was fabricated by Trunzo Building with Sebastian upholstery.
