SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
This small 2,800 sq. ft. house was designed for a young couple in the Ditch Planes area of Montauk. The clients are avid surfers and this house’s scale, and vibe are tuned to the surf culture of the 70's and 80's.
A wide-open utilitarian gravel yard separates the house from the street. Other than an existing gnarled tree no other vegetation affords privacy. The house itself does the work of creating privacy for the inhabitants. At night the house gives back with light; At the two-story volume, the monolithic mass of the upper story floats over the lower level accentuated by a cushion of light. At the single-story structure, the rich wood ceiling plane of the main living room, brightly up light, comes alive from the street.
This contrasting approach to the light also speaks to the nature and use of these two volumes. The lower single-story volume is purpose-built for entertaining and gathering. Surfboard storage and entry closets share easy proximity to the entrance. From here the kitchen, dining, and living rooms share a continuous wood ceiling punctuated by maple timber beams and columns, detailed together with steel flitch plates. The general spirit of the space is informal, but not shabby.
One moves into the two-story portion via a short connector. Two simple bedrooms on the ground level leave the floating upper level for the primary bedroom suite. This suite has tall ceilings with skylights and easy access to a deck with a shower. Here vertical louvers provide privacy and shade from the late afternoon sun.
It is fitting that the journey of designing and building this house took our clients from being a couple to getting engaged, then getting married, and to finally moving into the house while welcoming a new life into this world!
