Our clients, a couple with 3 children, had purchased a triangular, wooded, corner lot on high ground in Amagansett, NY and contacted us to explore means of building a house for their summer and year-round-weekend use.
This Juniper House is located in the Seaview community of Fire Island. Our concept for the architecture was to create a corner building to frame outside space, as an extension of the inside.
BIG has just announced Bjarke built an triangular shape tiny house. Called A45, the first prototype already in place in the Catskills, in upstate New York, was constructed by Klein. The idea behind the project was to create a house that could be fully customisable both inside and outside, with the small structure having the ability to be fully built on a functional site within just four – six months.
An existing three story house perched in the trees of Amagansett was in dire need of repair. Breathtaking views from the roof deck made the decision to renovate rather than replace the structure an easy decision.
The ‘lanes’ in Amagansett, New York, offer a nearly idyllic village life: adjacent to Main street, walking distance to ocean, but far enough to feel protected from it, walkable and dotted with a diverse range of houses and styles.
This full renovation of a single-family Manhattan residence creates and intimate and modern home for a family with three young boys.
A sensitive dune and steep topography define the possibilities for this multi-generational house. Taking cues from both, privacy and views are established with recreation in mind. While children occupy the lower level, guest suites open up to the pool on the main floor above, leaving the upper level and roof deck with open views and plenty of space for entertaining.
