EDITOR’S LETTER

new construction landscape renovation seasonal containers lawn management property maintenance masonry

Master Plan Who knew that one could wake up in the morning to a failed backlight on his computer? I’ve heard of other things happening to computers, but I didn’t even know what a backlight was until a Genius Bar employee held his smartphone flashlight to my laptop to show me that there was still a faint heartbeat, but not much more, amid all the darkness on my screen. I had done a first edit on “Deeds & Don’ts” the night before and thought I would look at it with fresh eyes the following day, but that was impossible because my screen was completely black. Unresponsive. Not working. A brief rundown of the nauseating blur that followed: frantic trip to Apple store, diagnostics, bad news, repair needed, replaced logic board, new battery installed, all data lost, start over. ■ Surely not a recipe for summertime fun. But the ensuing reboot made me think of all that bigger-picture stuff, like not holding anything too dear and being thankful for what really matters and keeping the cobwebs clear. And as I got caught up to speed, I remembered the photo shoot for this issue’s “Sharp Focus” (page 92) and the picture I took of a guy paddleboarding on Great Peconic Bay. It was such a beautiful day, and I remember feeling just slightly jealous—I wanted to be that guy. But I had a job to do. One of these days, though, I’m going paddleboarding.

On A Clear Day Some Hamptons vistas really can give you a new perspective on life.

LETTER FROM THE CEO

Architecture in the Hamptons is always on the move. Adventurous homeowners and daring experiments with volume and scale have produced a cornucopia of houses unmatched by any other small villages in the world. Fortunately, the most soughtafter architects of the day live and work here, many of them featured in HC&G’s annual architecture issue, and there are always surprises within our pages. Thatch, a centuries-old material that defines the picturesque cottages in my home countries of Scotland and Ireland, is alive and well on the East End, but not in the ye-olde-English-cottage sense. For the project featured in this issue’s “Stony Hill” (page 62), a spectacular new build in Amagansett, the always innovative Bates Masi + Architects has tucked thatch into the siding and used it as insulation on the walls and gable ends. Masses of grasses throughout the property further illuminate the theme. Architect Paul Masi—who designed the home for builder Jon Hummel, a friend and longtime collaborator—knew that his client was up to the task of incorporating thatch in an exciting, brand-new way. Along with Hummel’s decorator wife, Janice, it was a marriage made in homebuilding heaven. Enjoy their story and all the other creative collaborations featured in this special issue.

HISTORIC MODERN MASTERPIECE

NILAY OZA

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS

This issue’s “Pike & Pond” (page 84) showcases the Sag Harbor home that architect Nilay Oza built for himself and his family. Originally from India, Oza began his studies in Ahmedabad, which he describes as “a fascinating city, home to pivotal buildings by Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn.” As for architecture in the Hamptons, he says, “There are great examples from every decade of the previous century. This history is still alive and unfolding under the same sky that has always drawn artists out East. What’s not to like about that?”

“Water has always been a theme in my life,” says photographer Isabel Parra, who lived in Venezuela and Mexico until she was six, then moved to Florida and spent the summers at her family’s house on Cape Cod. After taking a photography class when she was a teenager, Parra “got hooked and started making pinhole cameras and Polaroid transfers—all the fun, nerdy things I love.” In this issue’s “Sharp Focus” (page 92), she captures the staggering water views and sparkling interiors of a home on Great Peconic Bay.

“I’ve wanted to be an architect since I was four,” says Jonathan Marvel, who cut his teeth working with renowned heavyweights such as Emilio Ambasz, Peter Eisenman, and Richard Meier. Dividing his time between New York and Puerto Rico, he adds, allows him to “stay in tune with socioeconomic and weather extremes in the tropics and the Northeast, which heightens my sensitivity and improves my design awareness.” Marvel masterminded the stunning home featured in this issue’s “Sharp Focus” (page 92). —Shannon Assenza

for continuous blooms. Good fillers to mix in are Orlaya grandiflora, Alchemilla mollis, and Queen Anne’s lace. How can you make it look pretty and well organized?

A fenced-in cutting garden always looks really charming, as do various structures, like tuteurs, that can support taller, unwieldy plants. Even tall flowers themselves, such as Filipendula, can be used as stakes. And delicate blooms like sweet peas look great on a trellis or lattice obelisk. Plus, they’re perfect in little julep cups after you cut them.

Every Day, Another Bouquet (clockwise from top left) Scabiosas, Echinops, and hollyhocks in myriad colors make great additions

to cutting gardens. A Southampton flower garden lined with brick paths features dahlias (foreground) and alliums. See Resources.

“An ideal place for a cutting garden is within a vegetable garden”

astilbes, Digitalis, Agastache, Monarda, and Echinops are great, too. Which ones are more challenging?

Well, everything in gardening is an experiment. Years ago, I tried hollyhocks and failed, but then realized that they are hollowstemmed, so I burned the cut ends to seal them, and it worked! What foliage would you add for filler?

Try long-stemmed chocolate cosmos or Browallia americana, which has sprays of small blue or white flowers. I also plant Italian white sunflowers against cutting garden fences: They grow up to six feet, and their pale cream blossoms last till it frosts. You can cut Scabiosas at every stage of flowering, from pincushion to fully open and flouncy. Herbs like lemon verbena have good foliage, a wispy flower, and a nice scent. Zinnia ‘Envy’ is an all-time favorite of mine because its chartreuse green complements all other flowers. And who doesn’t love dahlias? Even their buds will eventually open in a vase, giving you a good long show. Dinner-plate dahlias can be difficult to arrange in a vase, but the Karma Collection, cactus, and anemone dahlias are all terrific. Perennials like

august 15, 2021

Do you add spring-blooming bulbs to your cutting gardens?

Of course—and best to order now to avoid delays. I always include daffodils and a mix of early-, mid-, and late-flowering tulip varieties— parrot tulips and tall, graceful French tulips are especially good for cutting. And don’t forget early bulbs like Muscari and Chionodoxa, which brighten up small bouquets. Another tip: Plant Martagon lilies in the fall, near your peonies, so that their midsummer reds and oranges will extend the bloom season further. —Alejandro Saralegui

BOTTOM LEFT: TISH REHILL

Which flowers work best in cutting gardens?

Lysimachia clethroides. Not only is it a great cutting flower, but the greens last forever. And scented geraniums and lady’s mantle. You can plant shrubs like Abelia and Andromeda and use them in your arrangements, too. Grasses are a fleeting moment in a vase, although the flowers last a long time, and Hosta foliage looks amazing.

The Dahlia Lama On the North Fork, a flower grower pursues his passion with rigorous devotion

he bright warm days and cool nights of late summer are ideal for growing dahlias, says Keith Pierpont, whose Pierpont’s Blossom Farm in Baiting Hollow is profuse with them. Cutting the blossoms continuously throughout the season, he adds, “encourages them to push out more flowers.” Pierpont, a.k.a. the “Dahlia Lama,” is no stranger to abundance. After running a special-events company in Manhattan that was known for its grand centerpieces and floral installations, he decided to lease farmland on the North Fork to grow his beloved dahlias, in addition to peonies, French lilacs, and hydrangeas, all of which he sells in brown paper–wrapped bouquets at farmers markets from

Westhampton Beach to Montauk. Back in the day, at the farmers market that used to occupy the parking lot of East Hampton’s Nick & Toni’s restaurant, Pierpont would frequently sell out by 11 a.m. “People didn’t expect my level of taste and quality of flowers,” he recalls. “Customers would buy 30 or 40 bunches at a time.” Creating these bouquets is a labor of love. At the end of the growing season, Pierpont digs up the dahlia tubers and stores them over the winter, then plants them the following May, when the ground temperature reaches 60˚F. More than 25 varieties of dahlia tubers are rowed out, planted, and labeled—many with memorable names such as ‘Brown Sugar’ or ‘Arabian

Night’. Additionally, swaths of polypropylene cloth are laid to deter weeds and to anchor stakes designed to support tall varieties like ‘Shiloh Noelle’, which can climb as high as five and a half feet. In mid-July, the flowers begin to mature. Pierpont cuts them in the morning and quickly places them in buckets of water and Chrysal, a post-harvest solution developed in Holland. After transferring them to his barn, he arranges them in bunches of 10, then neatly wraps them in brown kraft paper and packs them up for shipping to wholesale florists and markets in 45˚F refrigerated trucks. Pierpont also maintains a flower stand just outside the entrance to Pierpont’s Blossom Farm, where he sells freshly cut bouquets daily. (“I recommend that customers give the stems a fresh cut and put them in hot water to preserve the life of the bloom.”) Plans for expansion are in the works, both for an all-weather space that can accommodate custom and premade floral arrangements, in addition to flower-arranging classes. “What inspired me to grow these flowers was their staggering beauty,” Pierpont says of the dahlias, which happen to be the national flower of Mexico. “They even have their own genus. I look forward to them every season.” —Doug Young

DEEDS DON’TS The Inside Scoop on East End Real Estate

LITTLE HOUSE IN THE HOLLOW

In Wainscott, a piece of the East End’s agricultural past has just been saved from the wrecking ball. Built in the 1920s on the grounds of the Strong family potato farm on

Wainscott Hollow Road, a 224-square-foot shingled cottage long known as the “Little House” has narrowly escaped demolition, thanks to preservation efforts led by Esperanza León, a member of East Hampton Town’s Architectural Review Board. The

single-room structure, which once housed migrant workers from the South, had sat neglected since the 1980s, but León caught wind that new owners of the farm property had plans to tear it down in May, so she

The Hamptons market is hot. RC Atlee and Adrianna Nava answer the big question that every East End buyer and seller is dying to know...

WHEN WILL IT

COOL DOWN?

Our market always shifts going into the Fall ‘hunting season.’ With an increase in inventory and availability for showings as tenants leave, you can expect more trades. But more options make buyers confident negotiators; I’m seeing concessions after inspections for the first time since early 2020 - until recently, buyers were sheepish about anything that could make sellers consider backup offers. Pricing a listing competitively and negotiating with realistic expectations is the best way to take advantage of the market before a major adjustment occurs. RC Atlee, Agent and Luxury Market Specialist Licensed as Robert C. Atlee-Hodgson, Salesperson rc@compass.com | 610.742.4080 The number of days from list to contract signed is at an all time low, as is available inventory. New listings started increasing early in 2021, while contract activity has been in decline. The market is moving toward normal activity levels, but it’s not the case with pricing. Prices are still at historic highs and certain types of properties are still going for 2-6% above the asking price. I collect accurate real-time data about the market climate, and the numbers will continue to tell the story of rising inventory and how it affects buyer behavior.

on Hummel was a kid when he met his wife, Janice, on Long Island, and although they never dated while attending East Hampton High School, they got together after college, when he was working in his father’s Manhattan office and she was living in the city. The couple eventually returned to the Hamptons, where Jon has followed in the footsteps of his generalcontractor father, John Hummel, building custom houses across the East End.

Meanwhile, Janice became a real estate broker and then pivoted toward interior decorating, after a buyer of a former home of theirs had admired the design work she had done on it and recommended her to a friend. “Our kids are in school full time, and it’s nice to do something creative,” explains Janice, today the principal of JL Hummel Interiors.

build on two and a half magnificent acres of raw land, but he grew impatient with the timeline for approvals and construction and opted for a different, finished house instead. Janice and Jon snagged the property, even though it was wildly overgrown. “You definitely had to have imagination,” Janice recalls, but her husband recognized the potential in “such a large, open lot, with enough room for a big lawn.” Peconic Land Trust protects the surrounding pastures and horse paddocks (as well as the farm

views), and the couple even brought in a scissor lift to assess whether they’d be able to see the ocean from the building site. But the sun setting over nearby fields proved more alluring, which led their architect, Paul Masi, to propose grasses in their many forms as an overall design motif. Masi’s scheme called for neatly clipped lawns framed by borders of unclipped grasses nodding in the breeze. Most unusual was his suggestion to use grass architecturally. Jon jumped onboard, having recently august 15, 2021

Jon recognized the potential in “such a large, open lot, with enough room for a big lawn” thatched the roof on an outbuilding at a traditional estate. “There’s some level of risk in doing thatch, but as a builder, Jon was able to understand how it’s put together,” says Masi, whose firm, Bates Masi + Architects, began collaborating with John Hummel and Associates in the 1980s. The thatch cloaks the walls and the gable ends of the house— not just outside, but indoors as well—and can withstand two or three dozen years’ worth of sea air, just like the Alaskan yellow cedar shingles on the roof. Other textural elements include terra-cotta shingles in a blend of earth tones on the fireplace surround, low garden walls of weathering steel cloaked in a coating of red rust, and ceilings and millwork made from factory-fumed oak planks that still sport bandsaw marks from the mill. The house is organized around a central living, dining, and kitchen pavilion, with a garage wing and a family wing on either side. Janice describes the A-frame rooflines as “Nordic,” although the design palette leans toward “a moody feel, with no white anywhere.” Unpainted gypsum wall plaster is a soothing pale beige, and wallboard appears only in the basement gym and playroom—also painted beige to match. “This isn’t the type of house where you do light marble with veins,” Janice adds, and the kitchen follows suit, sheathed in misty Grigio Billiemi marble, a Sicilian sedimentary stone embedded with fossils. She and her husband are still adding furniture to fill a bare spot here and there, but what’s the rush? “It’s fun to live in a project that you love.” ✹ 70

or his first project in the Hamptons, architect Brian Mac considered local barn vernacular and the East End’s low-lying farmland before even lifting a shovel. The principal of Birdseye, a design-build firm based in Richmond, Vermont, he was keen on staying true to the pastoral site—a slightly sloping plot of land in Sagaponack—and traditional agrarian architectural conceits. Lathhouse, the home he built for his London-based clients, now sprawls resplendently across the property, looking thoroughly modern, but wise beyond its years. HC&G: What was the inspiration behind your design? BRIAN MAC: Lathhouse has its roots in the eponymous

lath house, a traditionally gabled farm structure made primarily of wood laths or slats spaced to reduce sunlight while permitting ventilation. Such detailing is typically used in corn cribs, drying barns, and livestock shelters. august 15, 2021

In this modern iteration, how is lath employed?

The slats are both contextual and purposeful, reimagined as siding that functions to provide privacy screening and limit interior light emittance. The slatting extends over windows and skylights and wraps around the bedrooms’ windows, delineating Juliet balconies off each. On the south elevation, on the cantilevered pergola, it also functions as a solar shading scrim. Where did you source the material? It certainly doesn’t look brand-new.

It’s repurposed Douglas fir from corrals and snow fencing that we found in Big Sky, Montana. It has a patina reminiscent of barns and outbuildings in rural landscapes. It not only gives the house a captivating sheath, but also a seamless look.

The entirety of the house is a purposeful, regimented composition of repetitive details that physically and emotionally connect the form to the place. There are no chimneys, no gutters, and no downspouts.

We always try to get at the essence of pure form and expression. The house looks simple, but it’s a lot of work 78

to hide things that would otherwise pop out and distract from the purity of the form. How did you accomplish this?

A gutter and downspout system is concealed under the roof. Water is collected and evenly dispersed to mitigate erosion on the property. Your employee-owned firm, with 65 people, is organized like a co-op, with architects, builders, excavators, woodworkers, and metal and glass craftsmen. What a novel concept.

It’s a great advantage because all my ideas can get executed in-house—it’s like a family business. Speaking of, your wife, Brooke Michelsen, was responsible for the luminous, airy interiors, which are fascinating to behold as the sun creates ever-changing shadows through the slatted skylights.

Yes, that’s true. The sun keeps the architecture and design alive because the light is always moving. ✹ 82

ike many architects, Bridgehampton-based Nilay Oza never dreamed that he could live in his own design, since “building a new house,” as he well knows, “is no small thing.” Not to mention the often larger challenge of finding the perfect plot of buildable land in the competitive East End market. But Oza, who was born in India and earned a master’s degree from MIT, refused to abandon his search for an affordable waterside lot. “My wife says I’m a Pisces who has to live on the water,” he explains, “and I just couldn’t give that up.” While cruising down the Bridgehampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike a number of years ago, Oza happened upon a for sale sign in the snow, near the edge of little-known Lily Pond. The listing’s developer-owner, it turns out, was eager to pass the torch, so Oza and his wife took over the property, after selling their apartment in Harlem. The lot was “dumpy” and difficult, according to Oza, who remembers it as one of the most challenging he has ever encountered, buffeted by noise from 45-miles-per-hour traffic and awash with road runoff that inches toward the pond. During construction, he reports, his crew found themselves “dancing around big piles of sand in order to build.” The developer’s approved plan called for a façade that would essentially be level with the road, but Oza was on his own from there, obtaining permits to dig down six feet below for a sunken outdoor entry forecourt and main level. One level deeper, he also swapped out what would have been a windowless foundation for a basement with guest quarters, a bathroom, and walk-out access to a backyard swimming pool and hot tub. The home’s provocative, windowless façade—it’s lined in vertical planks of solid mahogany—acts as a buffer against the street traffic. These planks in turn angle up to the roof ridge and back down, in lieu of shingles. Underneath each mahogany plank lies a black rubber membrane that waterproofs the plywood shell, although in some areas, Oza has left it exposed because he likes its high-tech look. 86

To passing cars, the bold structure reads like a pair of oversize Monopoly houses made from popsicle sticks. Peter Sabbeth, Oza’s partner at Oza Sabbeth Architects, deems it “a sculpture” and praises its aura of mystery and anticipation. “Everyone asks what’s happening on the other side,” he says. “Most gorgeous modern houses are tucked away, but this one is very much a public work of art.” Visitors approach through a garden gate and proceed down a flight of steps to the sunken forecourt, where the house continues to retain its mysterious allure, save for a lone window in the entry. It’s recessed, so “you can’t see headlights from the turnpike,” Oza notes. The payoff is the main level’s compact, yet spectacular living room, with huge plate-glass windows running the length of the structure and looking out over the pool. If the wind is whipping during a storm, Oza says, the feeling is similar to standing on the edge of a cliff. “Attraction to a little bit of danger,” he muses, “is hard-wired into our lizard brain.” The interior expresses an elemental architectural vibe, with floors of self-leveling concrete and countertops finished during the same pour. Oza painted gypsum-board interior walls a very light gray and followed Sabbeth’s suggestion for natural-finished plywood trim throughout. The kitchen’s mottled paint-grade maple plywoodis also left unpainted, just like the wall paneling upstairs. “We wanted to get away from using Sheetrock,” notes Sabbeth, who also cops jokingly to offering “tons of unsolicited advice” during the home’s construction. Now that the structure is complete, it inadvertently serves as a billboard of sorts, attracting untold inquiries from customers dining at the Mexican-American restaurant located just across the road. The house Oza once only dreamed of building has become his calling card as well. ✹ august 15, 2021

SHARP FOCUS In Hampton Bays, architect Jonathan Marvel designs a home with a distinct point of view BY MICHAEL LASSELL PHOTOGRAPHS BY ISABEL PARRA

he house that architect Jonathan Marvel designed for clients along a lesser-known stretch of Great Peconic Bay is the essence of modernism, boasting sleek lines, a copper roof, and idiosyncratic fenestration. Yet the structure pays subtle homage to more traditional vernacular design in details such as cedar siding, which will weather to the same gray as the shingles that clad untold Hamptons beach houses. And like all the best beach getaways, it invites the outside in. Marvel, who has offices in New York and his native Puerto Rico, was thrilled by the site: 3.64 wooded acres perched high above the bay. Because his clients wanted to be “as close to the water as possible,” he recounts, “we put the pool at the setback limit and then pushed the house as close to the pool as possible. No matter what the architectural style, a family home should speak to the family, and be energized and nourished by a close relationship with nature. That notion is the philosophical underpinning of this project.” The 4,500-square-foot four-bedroom structure, designed in the shape of a slightly distorted V, comprises a straightforward volume containing the garage, an office, and 94

private rooms and, as its counterpart, a showstopping two-story glass pavilion that seems to reach for the sky and stretch toward the beach. The entry to the house lies where the two legs of the V meet: a beautifully proportioned breezeway that frames the view and instantly transports visitors from the woodland to the shore. The design brief from the clients dictated a great room occupying the main floor of the pavilion: The kitchen opens onto the dining area and a soaring two-story living room, a space broken only by a massive two-sided concrete fireplace that was board-formed to echo the 98

“No matter the architectural style, a home should be energized by a close relationship with nature” horizontal cedar cladding outside. Accessed by a sculptural staircase, the primary bedroom suite occupies the space above the kitchen and dining room and features the same staggering views, as well as a fireplace of its own. The glass pavilion was designed for both economy and aesthetics. Marvel incorporated the weight-bearing structural support of the wing in the mullions between expanses of glass, and these mullions support the ceiling beams in turn. Rift-cut white oak—on the floors, some walls, and the ceiling between the beams—plays a unifying role. “I wanted to limit the number of materials for a coherent look,” the architect says. “The neutral palette really brings out the highlights of the water and the sky and the greenery.” The interiors take a similarly respectful approach to nature. Decorator Steffani Aarons of New York–based DHD Architecture and Interior Design kept her focus on the clients’ wish for “accommodating family gatherings and taking in the view as much as possible, while embracing the modernism of the house,” she says. A blown-glass light fixture by artist Jeff Zimmerman, stools covered in a perky purple polka-dot fabric by Madeline Weinrib, and vibrantly colored Bisazza mosaic tile in a guest bath are just a few examples of how she steered the house away from becoming too stern—a common shortcoming of modern abodes. “It’s playful and fun. This is a beach house, after all.” Because “the eye just wants to go to the view” in the living room, the designer continues, “we went for organic pieces like a natural wood cocktail table and a few mid-20thcentury classics, including a pair of leather lounge chairs by Finn Juhl. Jonathan made a house that’s not overly formal, so everything is intentionally a little loose and relaxed. Even the driveway that winds through the trees toward the house isn’t paved—it’s just stones and gravel. It feels like you’re going to a beach hideaway—just as it should.” ✹ august 15, 2021

WINE & DINE

What to Drink? For late-summer get-togethers, these local reds are right on WHEN YOU WANT TO IMPRESS YOUR GUESTS

Serve high-scoring wines with a special backstory to tell. Paumanok 2015 Assemblage ($55), a Cabernet Sauvignon– dominant blend aged in French oak, is crafted only during exceptional years and recently took “Best Red Wine” in the 2021 New York Wine Classic. Macari Vineyards 2015 Alexandra ($95), mostly a Merlot–Cabernet Sauvignon blend, explodes with rich aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, along with polished tannins and savory notes of balsam on the finish. And Wölffer Estate 2017 Christian’s Cuvée Merlot ($100), named for winery founder Christian Wölffer, is made only in the great-vintage years from the estate’s oldest Merlot block. With velvety tannins, it’s rich and round, with concentrated black currant fruit.

WHEN YOU’RE HAVING THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME These wines will elevate your meal while adding a conversational spark to the evening. Consider the spicy Channing Daughters 2017 Blaufrankisch ($28), an Austrian varietal that has brambly black raspberry, plum, and peppery notes, ideal with Long Island duck. Barrelaged in French oak, McCall 2015 Pinot Noir ($30) features earthy and spicy flavors that beautifully complement pork, whereas filet mignon calls for a sensuous bottle, such as the full-bodied Lenz 2015 Estate Selection Merlot ($35), which is redolent of luscious black cherry and dark fruit flavors and traces of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

WHEN YOU’RE CHILLING OUT AT THE BEACH

Easy-drinking, un-oaked fruity reds—particularly those from sustainably farmed North Fork vines—are perfect complements to beach barbecues. Boasting violet aromas and blueberry and plum flavors, the wild-fermented Anthony Nappa 2018 La Strega Malbec ($29) is deliciously rustic, whereas the exuberant Bedell Cellars 2020 First Crush Red ($20) is a young-vine blend that’s aged in stainless steel and juicy with bright berry fruit. Hand-harvested, wild-fermented, and unfiltered, Raphael Estate 2018 Merlot ($20) possesses soft tannins and aromas of blackberry and black olive. —Baroness Sheri de Borchgrave

House Rules Architect Kathrine McCoy, who grew up in Bridgehampton and still resides there today, on-site at a new build in East Hampton. See Resources.

KITTY McCOY

“Life in Bridgehampton was much simpler when I was a child. Not only were we free of the technology that pervades our lives today, but also the community was much smaller, and we had tremendous independence. My bicycle was my ticket anywhere: meeting friends at the beach, ice-skating on farm ponds, riding my horse. “I thought I wanted to go to law school until I worked as a paralegal in New York City. As an undergrad, I had taken a few architecture classes, and I ultimately received my master’s degree in architecture from Columbia. Architecture is both left brain and right brain, allowing me to be creative while also being meticulous and quantitative. I have always loved puzzles, and architecture is a three-dimensional one, where you have to solve simultaneous equations. What does it look like, how does it relate to the site, how does it function, what is it made of, how does it stand up? My work as a classical architect is very much informed by historic precedents on the East End and elsewhere, but also balanced with a clear understanding of how people want to live today. It’s exciting to watch what had once existed only on paper come to fruition piece by piece, layer by layer.”
