Fire Island Pines New York Fire Island is one of several barrier islands that run along Long Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern shore. It consists of a handful of small communities that locals and tourists have flocked to for generations during the warm summer months. Part of the allure is that these communities are free of automobiles and only accessible by boat or ferry. Instead of streets, there are charming wooden boardwalks inches above the sand and sea grass, reminding us of a simpler time. Fire Island Pines is one of these special communities, where just off the ferry dock is a corral for dozens of red wagons that are used to transport groceries and luggage. Designer Carlos Otero restored this 1965 Horace Gifford home in the Pines over a two-year period. Gifford had designed and built this bungalow as his personal residence, and Carlos wanted to preserve the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical significance. Carlos painstakingly restored the original cedar paneling, removing coats of paint that a previous owner had applied. He also designed and installed an elegant yet simple pool that is the focal point of the front entry courtyard. A roof deck was added to maximize the water view, and functional outdoor furniture was custom built out of mahogany. Upon entry, guests are greeted with the aroma of cedar. The home has a relaxed vibe, decorated with modernist furniture, some of which was designed and built by Horace Gifford himself.

plywood forms used to set the concrete. This is not the case with the Razor House, as all the wooden forms were coated with a smooth fiberglass resin, creating a finish surface resembling Venetian plaster. Its current owner refers to the property as a sculpture rather than a house. When businessman Don Burns bought the home recently, it was still unfinished by the original owner, creating a unique opportunity to add intimate living spaces without compromising the original form of the house. The home, designed by architect Wallace Cunningham, could be a case study in both engineering and art form. When Cunningham conceived the house, his choice of materials and the view from the building siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were the driving factors in its design. He wanted to communicate both a permanence and sense of infinity. The sunbeams, shadows, reflections, and varying shades of the ocean make this residence a spectacular statement in seaside living.
