Surf House is shaped by the raw beauty of its context. Located in the small beach enclave of Ditch Plains, long a favorite of surfers and bohemians, the house seeks to capture the warm otherworldly spirit that fills the salt air.
Designed for a young West Village family drawn to the area in part because of the similarity to their native Ireland, the house embraces the natural materials, finishes and landscape traditional to the area. The monochromatic black exterior blends with the shadows of the natural
landscape, while opening into an ethereal light-filled interior. Clear forms and subtle detailing define a primitive yet contemporary architecture.
