The site is located on a coastal area on the Long Island, a coastal pond lies to the west, Long Island Sound fills the northern horizon. Both water bodies are quite close to the site, but due to the surrounding terrain, they are not visible at ground level on the site. A sandy gravel hill rises beside the site, which invites you to the wider views. Corresponding to the gravel hill, this project explores spaces to invite climbing and the discovery of vistas. Lifted places, rooms and decks are branching out to reach views and sky. Experiences of vertical movement are provided.
PROGRAM: Maser bedroom plus two or three subdividable children’s area. Deck as exterior dining room. DEC requirements restrict the footprint. Flood Plain requires pile foundation.
