Residence on Gin Beach

Douglas C. Wright Architects

Nestled in the artist’s colony along the dunes in Southampton, this house is a modern take on the Arts & Crafts and Queen Anne approaches to the Shingle Style. The welcoming, over-scaled front gable introduces the house while protecting all within. Lantern-like windows punctuate the front, and classic details such as the white eaves and columns, and geometric shingle patterns knit together the facade. Designed for a compact site, the house is a series of rooms from the garden to the interior. Oversized windows bring in light and open the connection between house and garden. Stewart Manger’s elegant decorating continues the theme of a modern interpretation of a classic shingle-style house.

In collaboration with D. Wright, C. Ricart, A. Walton, G. Bayhan, Stewart Manger Interior Design, Landscape Details, and KSI Professional Engineers; construction by John Hummel and Associates; photography by Francesco Lagnese. I provided 3D modeling, renderings, virtual reality experience, consultant coordination, and construction documents.
