“For the house to become personal, the architecture has to get out of the way”

- James Merrell, Principal

This may not be the typical or expected design philosophy for an architecture firm, but James Merrell Architects is anything but typical. Led by the company’s namesake, James Merrell, this talented team is transforming the industry with their unique approach to residential design and construction. While others may disagree, Merrell believes that involving the client in the design process is integral to the success of a project. “Houses aren’t commodities – they’re personal. The client’s contribution to the conversation about the design is so important, and leads to the elements that make the house meaningful not only to the homeowner, but to the world.” Merrell’s unique philosophy may be attributed to his background in history and the arts, but has undoubtedly guided him throughout his 30+ year awardwinning career. Today, James Merrell Architects boasts an impressive portfolio of incredible residences imagined from the firm’s home-base in Sag Harbor, NY. A true testament to his success, Merrell adds, “Clients never sell our houses.” James Merrell Architects has accomplished the perfect balance between hearing their clients and creating noteworthy architecture. “We design things that you don’t even know you want, but by being a part of the process, you discover the realm of what is possible.” jamesmerrellarchitects.com | 631.725.9842 | Sag Harbor, NY

LE T TE R E D ITO R ’ S

Restorative Nature One of my favorite reads in our Hamptons issue is an article on modernist architecture and its conservation out East, a timely and important topic. We spoke with three stewards of historic homes, two designers and an architect, who each hold an affection for the vernacular, what came before and why it matters today. Ingenuity and a sense of creative expression is at the core of these early homes, which were built by pioneering modernist architects. Their quirkiness and abstract expressionism, writ large on the landscape, make them curious and compelling: the oddly shaped windows on an Andrew Geller home or the angular, slanted walls of a Norman Jaffe residence. These works of art—in built form— are worthy of study and preservation. If you are interested in learning more, I recommend starting with Alastair Gordon’s 2001 tome, Weekend Utopia: Modern Living in the Hamptons. This captivating read explores the region’s modernist architecture and interiors as a manner of shaping the meaning of place.

Rooms of Their Own DON’T TRY DEFINING THE 1818 COLLECTIVE—IT’S A UNICORN BY DESIGN. W R I T T E N B Y G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

In a bustling corner of Sag Harbor village, designer Kristin Fine and ALT for Living founder Analisse Taft-Gersten have opened a shop that questions its designation as such. Housed in a 19th-century Greek Revival Colonial, the 1818 Collective gets its name from the era of the building, Fine and Taft-Gersten’s birthdays and the number’s association with abundance. Abundant is an apt qualifier for the sunlit space, which the pair have lovingly restored, reinspirited and filled with design discoveries from a growing list of vendors represented exclusively for the Hamptons market. Take the walls and millwork, which are swathed in Ressource Paints and outfitted with Blanche Jelly and Studio Henry Wilson hardware. Or the tactile, ceramic lighting fixtures by artist Olivia Cognet that softly illuminate a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings. The common thread is simply “an element of surprise,” notes Fine. “The friction is what makes things cool,” adds Taft-Gersten. “We’re like a Bon Iver song— there’s a lot of instruments coming in!” While the ladies see the showroom as their “tether to the ground,” in Fine’s words, the collective is intended as a creative incubator: a place for exhibitions, book signings, parties, artist visits and more. They’ve even managed to tuck two charming sleeping lofts in the second-story eaves. Crucially, they hope to provide a home out East for the local design community, as well as “design-curious” passersby, per Taft-Gersten. In its nascent summer, the 1818 Collective is poised to evolve with the times. “There’s rigidity in traditional brick-and-mortar. If we sell out the floor, we want to be able to close the drapes and hang a sign on the door that says ‘Gone shopping in Paris,’ ” shares Fine. Adds Taft-Gersten, “Making this ‘The House of No Rules’ is how we want to live now.” the1818collective.com

PETER MARINO

WRIT T EN BY ADRIAN MADLENER

When viewing one of Peter Marino’s recent projects—say, the Dior flagship in Paris—one might not realize the architect is a maximalist. Accumulated over more than 40 years, his vast art collection includes everything from Roman antiquities to Basquiats. Housed in Southampton’s former Rogers Memorial Library, the new Peter Marino Art Foundation brings this eclectic selection under one roof to be enjoyed by all. Luxe caught up with Marino to chat restoration, roses and what’s in store on Jobs Lane. petermarinoartfoundation.org You’ve lived in Southampton for over 25 years. How does the foundation fit within the town’s cultural evolution? Hauser & Wirth, Phillips, and Christie’s all moved in recently. They’re perfectly positioned for the sophisticated summer crowd. I established

LUXESOURCE.COM

the foundation to showcase my collection and mount rotating exhibitions of the contemporary talent I collect. It’s a house museum that reflects my tastes. Take us through the renovation. The building is significant for the time it represents. I think we need to be more respectful of architectural heritage. Nobody would treat a painting from 1895 badly, yet it’s okay to misuse architecture for some reason. I wanted to find an adaptive reuse for this building, so I put my money where my mouth was and preserved the exterior. The interior, however, is a personal architectural statement complete with Venetian stucco and leather-clad walls. Given your love of gardens, how did you address the grounds? We planted five rose varieties—hundreds of them—along the building’s brick façade to create a real wow moment for passersby. All are dark red roses, the official flower of Southampton. What do you have programmed this summer? After a quiet season in 2021, we have a lot planned. Following Vik Muniz and Anselm Kiefer in May, we’re opening a Sanford Biggers show on July 16. He is creating new works based on my Renaissance and Baroque-era bronzes. It’s fun to see the

endless connections that exist between works from different periods. Back by popular demand, Bob Colacello will also be hosting a series of informal artist talks. How are you hoping to involve the community and what do you want audiences to experience? We are creating connections and sharing resources with institutions in the area, such as Dia Bridgehampton and Guild Hall in East Hampton. We’ve also worked with a town trustee to bring in local students to engage with the exhibitions. Overall, I aim to demonstrate that art can express individuality and doesn’t need to represent a specific typology or period to be good.

Into The Woods—the brainchild of Catherine Woods, a Hamptons resident by way of Ireland—is fast expanding. What started in 2018 as a collection of bright woven bags adorned with names of East End villages has since blossomed into a full-fledged lifestyle brand spanning hats, jewelry, tabletop accessories and more. Here, Woods shares the scoop for summer ’22. into-thewoods.com Give us your elevator pitch. Into The Woods makes and sells one-of-a-kind woven and handmade pieces that bring joy and happiness. Our bags are made from palms by artisans in Colombia and Bali. What are you excited to introduce this season? We have fun, colorful shell-shaped bags that are perfect for summer, as well as large picnic baskets for boaters and beachgoers.

MEET THE MAKER BOB GOLDEN

W R I T T E N BY C L É M E N C E S FA D J

Observe Bob Golden’s ceramics and you will find throwing lines reminiscent of waves and feel a connection to the windswept vistas of Springs, where he lives and works. Rather than aim for sleek perfection, the artist is happy when his pieces speak to their owners, who might grow attached to the bold textured surface of a plate or to a characterful dent in a mug. Take his latest collection for Michael Del Piero—a suite of clean-lined porcelain tableware which displays surprising thinness while showing traces of the artist’s process. That thinness is the result, Golden says, of clay “reaching the point before collapse.” Each piece is a love letter to the Hamptons’ landscape and community—and an opportunity to bring unique organicism to the dining table. bobgoldenceramics.com

BEHIND THE BRAND

Beach gear gets a stylish upgrade this summer, thanks to the towel gurus at Weezie and designer Peter Dunham, who have collaborated on a limitededition collection that brings together Weezie’s extra-plush terry cloth and Dunham’s signature prints. The result is a capsule of three designs with eye-catching motifs, such as Fig Leaf, a botanical print inspired by Salvador Dalí, and Kashmir Paisley, a charming pattern in contrasting shades of blue (both shown at right). Better still, the towels can be personalized in an array of fonts and colors—a perfect summer hostess gift, if you ask us. weezietowels.com

Salt House Mercantile: For timeless wares inspired by a coastal lifestyle, look no further than Salt House Mercantile in Sag Harbor Village (below). With a location on Bainbridge Island, Washington, founder Carrie Schei decided to grow the brand when she put down roots on the East End in 2018. On what’s in store, she hints to “elements reminiscent of the understated beauty of living by the sea”—think Heather Taylor Home linens, Farmhouse Pottery pieces, framed photography by Dean Isidro, Sabre flatware and blue-and-white splatterware. For gift-giving or building one’s own collection, there’s reason to come again and again. salthousemercantile.com

Il Buco Vita: “What we built was a trading post—for ideas, friends, objects, conviviality,” says Donna Lennard, founder of beloved Manhattan Italian eatery il Buco. That belief has led to an expansion onto Amagansett’s Main Street with il Buco al Mare. And while local seafood lures diners, a shopper’s paradise awaits next door at il Buco Vita (above). There, you’ll find a range of antiques and Italian goods such as colorful glassware and glazed dishes, beeswax candles and linen napkins, many of which are designed in-house. And, of course, artisan pantry staples like olive oil, canned sauces and tinned fish. “It’s all about how you want to live. What makes you feel good?” asks Lennard. Surely, this special selection will bring the il Buco magic home. ilbuco.com

DAY TRIP DESIGNER HADLEY WIGGINS MAPS THE ULTIMATE NORTH FORK DAY TRIP. W R I T T E N BY C L É M E N C E S FA D J

Hadley Wiggins has lived on the North Fork for over a decade, finding it the perfect playground to indulge her love of history and seaside style. Luxe tapped Wiggins to share her recipe for a design lover’s day across Peconic Bay. hadleywiggins.com 10 a.m. Head over to Shelter Island and start with breakfast at Marie Eiffel. Get the croissant, it’s worth it! 10:30 a.m. Sit on the dock and watch the goings-on of Dering Harbor with its beautiful vintage boats and docking drama, which is always fun to witness.

12:30 p.m. Head to the Orient Country Store, a no-frills general store with incredible breakfast and lunch. Say hi to Miriam and tell her Hadley said you can make any substitutions you want (you cannot). After lunch, take a walk around the corner to the Oysterponds Historical Society. 2:30 p.m. Go west to the Northshore Audubon Society walking trail, making a loop from the beach rather than turning back on the same path. 3:30 p.m. Explore Southold village’s design shops! Visit White Flower Farmhouse for all your shabby-chic needs, Pearl on Main for rattan decor and Fez & Ivy for vintage rugs. 5:30 p.m. Stop at Southold General for coffee or gelato (my whole day would be coffee stops if I’m honest). 6 p.m. Make Eight 8 Farm your last visit for sustainably produced groceries. Staples I never do without: butter, eggs, pancetta and the kale sausage!

The exterior of Jayne Michaels’ Springs residence (previous page) is true to its original 1972 design, which is credited to Joseph D’Urso. Architectural designer Sarah Rose Reilly preserved the wood paneling of a 1974 beach house in Amagansett (above), opting for a honey finish in the living room and matte black for the façade.

the kitchen but otherwise preserved the structure, including its original vertical exterior and interior wood paneling. Jayne Michaels, co-principal of design studio 2Michaels, saw similar appeal in the thoughtful simplicity of her 1972 Joseph D’Urso-designed home in nearby Springs—one of the first minimalist projects of its kind. Smitten with the symmetrical box shape, “arresting” light well over the center of the structure and black-painted façade (“before that was cool to do,” she says), Michaels put in an offer 10 minutes into viewing the property. The designer replaced the kitchen and bathrooms but was mindful not to “kill the Bauhaus vibe” in doing so. “Midcentury modern style was intended to provide architecturally interesting housing to the ‘common man,’ and that’s a goal we still believe in,” she says.

There was a time when summering on the East End meant just the essentials. Throughout much of the mid-to-late 20th century, New Yorkers sought informal beach houses that put them in closer contact with nature, and architects responded in kind with modernist dwellings emphasizing quality of experience over quantity of space. “There was real freedom of expression in built form at the time,” notes Sarah Rose Reilly, principal of local firm Studio Rozu. “The money and sophistication were there for designers to experiment, and the beauty of the land was there to inspire. Norman Jaffe deconstructed the house in exquisite conversation with the ground and sky, Charles Gwathmey turned the home into the ultimate playground for living, and Andrew Geller transformed paper airplanes into castles by the sea.” The architectural designer found a perfect specimen for her own experiments in a 1974 beach shack tucked into the dunes in Amagansett. Championing its clean shape and precocious open concept, she expanded

Tasked by design-savvy clients with renovating Andrew Geller’s iconic Antler House in East Hampton, architect Forrest Frazier similarly ushered the 1968 house into all-season, 21st-century living with a gentle hand. Crucially, bringing the dwelling up to current energy codes while maintaining its purest form necessitated heavy investment in an unobtrusive HVAC system that allowed for its owl-eye windows and cedar paneling to remain distinct. Barring the addition of modern appliances and marble countertops in the kitchen, the original structure stands much as it did at its genesis. “Playful beach homes” such as the Antler House, Frazier posits, embody “the real spirit of the Hamptons.” Frazier, Michaels and Reilly comprise a small number of design professionals who have had the opportunity to rehab these dwindling treasures. Without protections (as the National Historic Preservation Act didn’t exist until 1966 and typically reviews homes at least 50 years old), the

Hamptons’ modernist housing stock is free to be razed for the new—and has been for decades. So, why is it worth saving peculiar, often modest structures when there’s monetary incentive not to? The recent denial by the Southampton Architectural Review Board of a permit to demolish a Norman Jaffe residence on Meadow Lane suggests a reckoning around their

importance in the American design cannon. Historical significance aside, “there seems to be a growing appreciation for how cool these homes are,” Reilly concludes. “They’re unselfconscious in their quirkiness, naive in the risks they took architecturally, and elemental in their connection to nature. Those things can be hard to find these days—especially in the Hamptons.”

The Hamptons have a long tradition of inspiring great artists and artisans. Enter Elizabeth Dow. For 30 years, Dow has been creating unique works of art as well as handmade fabrics and wallcoverings from her East Hampton studio. She has also assembled an award-winning team who help source unique furnishings and accessories for her showroom and assist in the design of her custom interiors. “While our flagship showroom and studio is located at 14 Gingerbread Lane, our projects extend well past East Hampton to New York City, Florida and beyond,” Dow says. “In addition, Elizabeth Dow Wallcovering and Textile collections are represented by 12 national and international showrooms.” With so much artistry under one roof, one wonders what ties it all together? Dow’s response: “Our focus on the handmade and handcrafted as well as our belief in reclaiming and reimagining exceptional pieces from the past.”

CREATIVE CONFESSIONS •S hare a professional highlight. 127 Jermain in Sag Harbor was special to me because I was able to save a historic property, while working closely with the town’s zoning and architectural boards to connect the project to the community. •W hat previous experience inspires you still? I spent years restoring ceilings and wall paintings in historic homes. This gave me a respect for preservation as well as the patience to spend 10 hours repairing a wall. •W hat’s next? To continue working hand-in-hand with artists, designers and tech experts to provide our clients with exciting new ways to achieve their goals.

Although the Hamptons-based landscape architecture firm will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, a second office in the city and decision to shift focus promises an enticingly fresh chapter. “Today, I’m striving to grow the firm alongside my two partners, Ian Hanbach and Daniel Thorp,” Christopher says. “Our goal is to expand to other building types, with my keen interest being in public and institutional work.

One might think a landscape architect would spend free time escaping indoors. Not so for Christopher. “The mornings are busy, with a long walk, golf, or tennis followed by lunch and some reading,” he says of weekend days. “Then comes an evening cocktail cruise either on Lake George or in Sag Harbor.

rsmannino

When architectural expertise meets design-build skills, great homes are the result. As the principal at RS Mannino Architects + Builders, Rosario Mannino, AIA, specializes in distinctive new home building and whole-house remodeling with a focus on luxury residences and custom kitchens and baths. A traditionalist at heart, Mannino prefers classical architecture, studying the likes of Andrea Palladio and Edwin Lutyens. “Most of our projects begin with a strong historical reference,” Mannino says. “We believe in taking inspiration from the past and researching what makes something enduringly beautiful.” Thankfully, this architect’s practice is inspired by its proximity to New York City, a place brimming with history and culture, where a stroll around the block can turn into a frenzy of ideas. “It’s amazing just how many times I can walk the same New York street and see things differently.”

A TOUCH OF MODERNITY Combining a lifelong respect for classic architecture with a strong focus on the future, Mannino has been bringing innovation and sustainability to his enduring designs since 2015. “People often ask if we are adapting to sustainable design,” Mannino says. “We have been practicing sustainable design since before it was labeled as such. Good architecture starts with an understanding of the local climate and an area’s resources. I don’t think there is any other way to conceive a successful project.” Blending old and new is a skill, and Mannino’s commitment to both is truly something to celebrate.

Look into the background of anyone who truly excels in their field, and you may find that they understand their work so well because they once stood on another side of it. Enter, Melissa Fenigstein. Before founding The Final Touch, a trade-only showroom beloved for the sense of community it creates, she owned an interior design firm. She also came from a family of furniture manufacturers and case goods designers. “I understand the services a trade showroom needs to provide to help designers do what they do best,” she says. “My goal is to provide a diverse and extensive group of vendors in an environment that is inspiring and conducive to productivity.” And indeed, she’s done it. Halfway between New York City and the Hamptons, The Final Touch has become known as a design hub for many of the world’s most illustrious industry pros, who flock to its doors for comradery, a robust furniture selection, unique treasures, original art and bespoke products.

LASTING INFLUENCE “Many years ago, there was a sales representative from whom I purchased my first line,” Fenigstein shares. “He spent a great deal of time educating me and made me realize the importance of understanding the industry as a whole. He helped me connect design with the business that is the furniture industry and taught me so much more. It was all paramount to bringing The Final Touch to life.”

In the main stairwell of this Southampton retreat, the warmth of tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings is juxtaposed with a sleek metal railing. The designers put a fresh spin on nautical decor, pairing Lindsey Adelman’s blown-glass Knotty Bubbles pendant with an oil painting by Joseph Richards through Carrie Haddad Gallery.

or years, a classic shingle-style vacation house on a windswept bay in Southampton had been the ideal escape for a family of five. But as the homeowners’ children grew up and brought their spouses and babies in on the fun, the living spaces and sleeping arrangements started feeling tighter, and the floors got sandier. Then, serendipity: A sun-dappled double lot just across the street came up for sale. Soon after, architect Joseph Cerami and designer Michael Cox—who together had conceived the aforementioned waterfront retreat—were tasked with imagining the transformation of this vacant property into a getaway befitting the family’s youngest generations. “The new house functions almost as an addition to the primary residence,” Cerami says of the resulting structure. Its three-level floor plan includes a gym and massage room, as well as a billiards room and outdoor sport court, plus plenty of space for indoor and outdoor relaxation. “We tried to imagine every element of a self-contained oasis,” Cox explains. Because the new dwelling would be part of a family compound, the design team also endeavored to create connections between the two houses—“as well as a sense of evolution,” Cox notes. “Certain fundamental elements are repeated in subtle ways, while others represent a natural progression.” The strong yet simple structure that landscape designer Joseph W. Tyree created with hedges, hornbeams and stone walls, for example, gave the new house an immediate sense of belonging. The cedar shake roof that Cerami designed nods to the waterfront home’s shingled façade, but punctuating the roofline with dormers topped with standingseam metal made it “more modern looking,” the architect says of this effect created in collaboration with general contractor Brian Kuck. Inside, Cox and colleagues Zunilda Madera and Stephanie Daniels incorporated the same wideplank white oak floors and coffered ceilings used

in the primary home, but traded traditional trim for simpler, beefier profiles, “so everything was in a bolder scale,” explains Cox. This paved the way for visually impactful moments, such as the dining room’s gigantic, Ingo Maurer–designed pendant, the interior of which is painted an intense ultramarine hue. “When we were installing it, we got a picture of five team members standing underneath the dome—it’s that large,” Cox recalls. In the main stairwell, the designers suspended a 14-foot-long light comprising ropebound, hand-blown glass globes—a sculptural take on Japanese buoys. And for the living room, they chose a large, woven-rattan pendant. “It’s ‘go bold or go home,’ ” Cox says of their approach. “We think of lighting as sculpture hanging from the ceiling.” Fixtures this daring beg the question, “What do you put underneath?” Cox admits. For the dining room, he designed a Corian-topped table whose impact comes from its massive scale, while, in the living room, it’s the diptych painting’s “color shock” that makes a statement, he notes. The art collection the designers gathered for the house covers a wide swath of creative expression, from watercolors to block prints, paintings and photographs. And, throughout the house, eyecatching furnishings double as artwork, from a voluptuous Gaetano Pesce–designed chair to the foyer’s custom cabinet inspired by Piet Mondrian’s primary-colored paintings. “That was a very specific client request,” Cox says of the latter. “When the homeowner suggested, ‘How about something that feels like Mondrian?’ I was so happy to see him getting excited about referencing art as inspiration.” Eighteen years ago, when Cox embarked upon the first of numerous homes he would design for this family, their taste “leaned more traditional,” he recalls. “But through the years, we pushed the envelope and started to introduce them to more contemporary furniture shapes and artists.” This house is the payoff. “Here, they gave us the ability to bring in surprises in terms of color and scale,” Cox says—and in return, they’re treated to design as fun as the freewheeling vacation vibe it fosters.

ucked between the Pollock-Krasner House and Napeague State Park is the East Hampton home and studio—make that two studios—of multimedia artist Sydney Albertini. Relocating to Springs from New York City some 20 years ago, the Paris-born artist immediately felt a connection. “I didn’t need to be in the city anymore, and I’d always wanted to live by the ocean,” she recalls. The move not only gave her space to create a “dry studio” in the main house for fiber work and a “wet studio” for her paintings just a few yards away, but also the chance to develop a rich artistic practice while raising three boys. “I didn’t have the luxury of taking myself away from family to work, so I had to bring work into our family space,” the artist says. Her

home and work life are as symbiotic as her textile and painting practices, which she considers parallel processes. “The relationship between them is like the leaf and the tree,” Albertini explains. “One can’t live without the other.” A self-taught textile artist, she uses quilting, embroidery and weaving techniques to create works that range from wall-mounted canvases to freestanding sculptures. These pieces are emotional, examining connections between individuals and society. Her paintings (done on paper with oils and charcoal), and especially the “Woman Movement” and “Mother and Child” series, also explore femininity. In the former, she depicts female figures with “a chaos between movement, fabrics and the body,” which she organizes “with patterns like geometrics, stripes or cherries.” The latter gathers “reflections on my relationship

with my children—how you meld together but you’re separate,” the artist says. Sometimes the mother and child’s patterns are the same, other times they differ. But it’s her “Botanical” series, sparked by a recent trip to Costa Rica, that has opened Albertini—who has two shows this fall, one at Trois-Cinq Friedland, Sisley’s Paris-based cultural program, and one with her gallerist, Tristan Hoare, in London—to new visions. “I was overwhelmed by what I saw in the jungle. I came back and started painting botanicals,” she recalls. “It’s been such a rush, I haven’t stopped!” Bike rides through the Hamptons have proved similarly influential, from observing branches and flowers to blades of grass blowing in the wind. When composing her abstract “mind landscapes,” as the artist calls them, Albertini intentionally eschews ground and sky. “I want the botanicals to encircle you,” she says. “I don’t want reality.”

Contemporary art and playful furnishings create a singularly stylish family home by the sea.

FUNKY FRESH

Interior Design: Monica Fried, Monica Fried Design

very designer dreams of clients who simply get it. For Monica Fried, those clients were Joanne Diamond and Michael Bass. Keen collectors with an ever-expanding roster of contemporary artworks (by the likes of figurative painter Jonathan Wateridge, multimedia artist Mindy Shapero and sculptor and painter Yoshitomo Nara), the couple desired an art-forward yet approachable beach home—an irresistible brief for the designer. For years, Joanne and Michael had sought a place out East to comfortably accommodate their blended family of five children plus grandchildren. Eventually, they found their answer in a newconstruction residence in Southampton. Behind the classic shingled facade, the dwelling offered plenty of bedrooms, a pleasing open floor plan, ample windows providing an abundance of sunlight, and a clean, modern canvas to showcase art. Upon viewing it for the first time, Fried intuited that the house had potential to transform into a haven at once personal and made for hosting, elevated but still casual. In essence, a home that captures the many facets of who this family is and how they live. Naturally, art was at the core of that transformation. The couple—who works closely with Los Angeles-based consultant Cardiff Loy— saw the project as an opportunity to acquire new pieces that would celebrate the interiors. Fried refers to the den as a primary example. To make it a space where the family would want to curl up together and watch movies, the designer employed a warm orange palette for a cozy atmosphere. “We went for a yummy pumpkin mohair sectional, bringing in an almost retro, 1970s color,” she notes. Pointing to the vibrant metallic artwork that hangs on the wall, Fried adds, “I think the couch inspired Joanne’s selection of the Mindy Shapero piece above it.”

In the living room, another artwork—a verdant painting by Jonathan Wateridge—was similarly deployed to make conversation with the greenery beyond the windows. Furnishings were curated to converse with the surroundings, too. Take the living room’s Christophe Delcourt sofa, whose sinuous shape draws visitors into the room and toward its wall of windows in a welcoming embrace. Fried found this piece, as well as the free-form wooden cocktail table that nestles in its curvature, on a sourcing trip to Paris. Thankfully, her gutsy clients were game, even from afar. “Some people would never purchase an item they haven’t seen in person, but Joanne and Michael were excited to,” notes the designer of that table—a find from the Paul Bert Serpette antiques market. “Monica and I had the same vision,” adds Joanne. “So when she said that the coffee table and sofa were standout pieces that we needed, I trusted her.” Yet beneath the pedigree of the home’s hero acquisitions, the designer never lost sight of the fact that this is, at heart, a house by the sea for a lively, social family. As such, comfort and utility thread through each decision. “Everything is wipeable and usable,” Joanne affirms. “Monica chose fabrics and furnishings that are beautiful but work for constant use.” Which means that no one lives in fear of upholstery getting ruined by wet bathing suits or of cocktails being spilled on rugs—both key considerations for this family of entertainers. As Fried points out, the dining room, with its table that seats 14, is especially ideal for languid summer evenings in the company of friends. “Can’t you see dinner parties in there lasting well into the night?” Fried muses. “The chairs are so comfortable and relaxing. It’s a space you want to sit in for hours.” That room, like every other, evokes a spirit of easy yet sophisticated living. “That’s exactly what we wanted,” concludes Joanne. “An everyday house with style.”

With its classic shingled exterior, this Southampton vacation home was the perfect fit for homeowners looking for a sophisticated yet family-friendly beach house. RH planters frame the entry.

Furnishings in neutral tones, such as the Merida rug, Cuff Studio pendant and leather chair from Studio Twenty Seven, allow artwork throughout the home to sing. Above the Vonnegut/Kraft bench in the living room hangs a painting by Alex Eagleton.

Happy Hour Midcentury style meets the English countryside in a Bridgehampton farmhouse built for merriment. W R I T T E N BY K A M A L A N A I R | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY T I M L E N Z

Interior Design: Augusta Hoffman, Augusta Hoffman Studio Home Builder: Stephen Sisca and Vitaly Katsnelson, Renovation Partners and Carlos Mendoza, Eastern Chateau Landscape Architecture: Michael Donnellan, Summerhill Landscapes

fter years of long-distance dating, the owners of this Bridgehampton residence were eager to live in the same place. The young woman relocated from London to New York, and, together, they began hunting for a home of their own. A 1990s farmhouse set in a grassy lot with majestic mature trees quickly captured their imagination. Every inch of the property needed work, but who better to imbue some much-needed TLC than a pair of transcontinental sweethearts? Enter Augusta Hoffman, a New York-based designer and longtime friend of the couple, whom they confidently tasked with reconceiving the abode as a happy, all-season retreat. For these owners, happiness meant “the juxtaposition of an elegant, traditional home that felt youthful and edgy at the same time,” notes Hoffman. It also meant a space designed for entertaining as, on the weekends, they regularly host upwards of 40 guests for lunches and cocktail parties. Joined by general contractors Stephen Sisca and Vitaly Katsnelson of Renovation Partners in collaboration with locally based Carlos Mendoza of Eastern Chateau, the designer set about delivering their wish list with a series of clever, impactful updates. In addition to fresh millwork throughout, a new lighting program was installed to elevate the interior canvas. “We brought in a lot of thoughtful elements from traditional Georgian homes, which add to the refinement of the space,” Hoffman says. “One of the best decisions was to replace all the outlet covers and light switches with unlacquered brass so the rooms would feel much more architectural and considered.” She also gave the downstairs guest suites a hospitable feel by removing closets in favor of breathing room, and converted the former den into an expansive dining room replete with a built-in bar and French doors opening onto the garden. Paint, meanwhile, was Hoffman’s secret weapon. Opting for bright palettes in rooms that lacked optimal sunlight, the designer leaned into maximalist jewel tones for the home’s heavily

windowed spaces. To wit, the dining room was given a velvety emerald coat, and the office and den a rich indigo. And instead of gutting the rustic kitchen, Hoffman simply replaced the countertops and painted everything black. “By bringing in a bit of New York edge with dark millwork and new marble counters, we enhanced the space without actually doing much,” she explains. Even the floors were treated to dramatic paint transformations. The entry hall and dining room, for instance, now feature timeless diamond checks, and the sanctuary-like upstairs bedrooms’ wooden boards were painted a beachy white hue. Formalizing the joining of their design sensibilities, the couple became engaged midway through the project, and many of Hoffman’s updates play to this tension. While the man’s taste had always skewed Scandinavian midcentury, his fiancée preferred a more classic British look inspired by her family’s home in the English countryside. And so, Hoffman embraced both influences when it came to fabrics and furnishings, deftly balancing notes of modern masculinity with Cotswold flair. Take the dining room, where a set of teak midcentury dining chairs surrounding a steelbased table effortlessly mingle with an English George II-style server dating to the 1750s. Or the living room, where a medley of European and Scandinavian pieces gather around a fireplace composed of manganese Delft tiles. Twentiethcentury furnishings with sleek lines similarly break up the unabashedly British spirit of the bedrooms, courtesy of elaborately canopied beds and layers of dainty floral and block prints. Completing the transformation of this residence was a sweeping exterior overhaul. “We reoriented the entrance, moved the pool, highlighted the front door and shutters with black paint and beautiful brass hardware, and removed decaying trellises,” the designer recalls. And, imperatively, to create a grand lawn for parties, landscape designer Michael Donnellan opened up the parcel, pushing out the existing perimeter of hedges and accentuating it with classic hydrangeas. Those young plants have since blossomed and Hoffman’s clients are now newlyweds. As for their very first home together, it’s the toast of the town.

In the back entrance hall, designer Augusta Hoffman used organic textures to create a welcoming vibe. Under a rattan globe pendant, a brass lamp and wabi-sabi-style reclaimed teak bench join a framed Gracie hand-painted chinoiserie silk panel.

“We peeled back the layers and focused on special pieces,” notes Hoffman. This approach is seen in the living room, where a TMBO settee in a Dedar fabric, midcentury Scandinavian lounge chairs and a Calacatta Viola marble table from Design & That surround a fireplace outfitted with Delft tiles.

From its stunning beaches to its picturesque villages, rolling farmland, award-winning vineyards, world-class restaurants and exclusive clubs, The Hamptons offer an outstanding quality of life. But achieving that quintessential Hamptons lifestyle begins with finding the right home. That is where Michaela Keszler comes in. One of Douglas Elliman’s premium brokers, Keszler uses her nearly 20 years of expertise to locate the perfect property for her each of her valued clients—most of whom are repeats and referrals. “The quality of life in Hampton is just unbeatable,” she says. “However it comes with challenges. The fact is, we are still in a sellers’ market with very low inventory, which means that placing my clients into their dream homes requires an extra bit effort. Fortunately, I have the experience, the savvy and the network of contacts to exceed my clients’ expectations.”

“My unique ability is to connect the right people with the right property in every price range.”

For buyers, understanding the historical data when purchasing in today’s market is key. “2019 was the softest year this market had seen in decades, and 2020 is compared directly to that,” she says. “When you look earlier than 2019, you’ll see the margins aren’t as steep and this market continues to remain strong as an overall asset.”

AERONAUTIC AMAZEMENT “Giving buyers a bird’s-eye view of Greenwich from a plane is a value that the Claroni & Perry Team provides,” the partners share. “Our clients get a very good grasp of the back country, mid-country, downtown and Greenwich’s stunning coastline. Most importantly, the proximity to NYC becomes very apparent from the air.”

Buying or selling a home has always been a big milestone that brings its fair share of challenges to navigate. But in recent years, it has evolved into a process that demands unmatched strategy and expertise. That’s where Danielle Claroni and Christian Perry come in. With more than 40 years of combined real estate experience, a specialty in the luxury market and knowledge of building and development, the Greenwich-based Sotheby’s International Realty agents bring the value of insight to their clients. Whether they are looking to buy and remodel, purchase land to build a new home or settle into a turnkey beauty, those exploring the market can turn to Claroni and Perry for the best advice. They offer some now: “Although we are in a seller’s market, sellers must be intentional about pricing properly and having a strong marketing component. Miss one of those two, and you could miss the opportunity to sell at the best price.”

“A strong team is key to buying or selling successfully, and its members should be local— the Greenwich market is nuanced.”

STRIKE GOLD IN GREENWICH Asked what they find so special about Greenwich, Claroni and Perry point to the ability for one to have a little bit of everything. “Its proximity to New York City, low taxes, a diverse community and educational opportunities are main attractions,” they say. “Buyers have the option of living in town, experiencing the serenity of the waterfront or having horses in the backyard. Privacy is a main attribute of living in Greenwich, and our exclusive public beaches are pristine and manicured. The boating culture here attracts people from around the world.” As should the food. Claroni and Perry deem Miku Sushi and Polpo “must-try stops.”

Few real estate markets are more demanding and intense than New York City. That makes it all the more impressive to review the accolades of someone like Steven Cohen.

Well-versed in both luxury resales and the most exciting new developments, he frequently sets sales records. So, what is his expert take on the city that never sleep’s mood? “Even in a shifting market, for a terrific property that is priced right we’re still experiencing a quick sale and the occasional bidding war,” he says. “Pricing always matters in every market, but even more so today.”

Offered at $16,950,000.
