Long Island Retreat Completely Restructured by Lake Flato Architects

October 11, 2017 / Contemporary Houses, Lake Flato Architects

Built in the late 70s, Long Island Retreat began as a 1,600-square-foot, three bedroom structure that had been in the family for many years. To preserve the original home, the structure of the existing house was converted into bedrooms and a game room for the children.

Ocean Pond Residence in Long Island, New York

August 16, 2017 / Contemporary Houses, SheltonMindel

The Ocean Pond Residence is neither the retro modern, upside down house nor a McMansion. In fact its footprint is less than 3,500 square feet on a 42-acre site. It is organized in section like a Fibonacci spiral utilizing five continuous levels of activity culminating in a roof top point look out across the sea, farmlands and pond.
