Gin Beach
Southampton, NY, United States
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.
This house was the proud winner of the 2023 McKim, Mead & White Award from the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art in the category of Residential Architecture – New Construction Over 5,000 SF.
“Wright Architects’ Gin Beach House is a Long Island project that embraces the early, exploratory vocabulary of McKim Mead and White and other foundational Shingle Style and Queen Anne firms, back when idiosyncrasy was the goal. In terms of shapeshifting, there is the primary facade’s broad and dramatically off-center gable, set on axis with the entrance gate and the main walk that traverses a parterre garden. The gable shelters an angular staircase bay that stretches three stories, from ground to sky. Rhythmically glazed and flanked by small pert oriel windows, the bay is a head-turning focal point. The front door, on the other hand, is discreetly tucked to one side of that towering feature and beneath a half dome, partly hidden from view and giving a Narnian effect, like a portal to another world. From the street, Gin Beach House offers a dynamic synthesis of sloping rooflines and curious protuberances: picturesque yet organizing, visible expressions of the floor plan behind the shingles. Add to that charms such as Chinese Chippendale railings, ogee curves, Richardsonian arches, and a Colonial Revival rear porch that is a miniaturized echo of Mount Vernon’s influential piazza, and Douglas Wright Architects’ Gin Beach House delivers a lively and engaging exploration of Classicism and its dialects.” — Mitch Owen
