ANTENNAE UP! I’ve always felt that summer is the season where creative pursuits are ripest to blossom. It may seem counterintuitive that at a time of year when the pace slackens, a colliding of ideas would swell. Yet, it’s precisely the mind-wandering lazy days of summer, when many of us are traveling to far-flung destinations or simply puttering around in the garden on a “Summer Friday,” that the path to inspiration clears. An aha moment can lead you anywhere; hopefully, on a journey of new surroundings and experiences: from a fresh coat of paint on your living room walls to an impromptu dinner party under the stars. Creativity is a spark, best ignited with a large dose of passion, a slice of relaxation and a bit of imagination. This summer, be open to what’s new and refreshing. Hover through these days with your antennae up… sense what is possible. Let this special Hamptons 50 edition, dedicated to exploring architecture, design and inspirations out East, be the trigger that kicks it all off.

INTERIOR DESIGNER KATHRYN IRELAND’S LATEST BOOK HONORS THE ART OF ENTERTAINING AT HOME: SURRENDER YOUR EGO, CELEBRATE SIMPLE LUXURIES AND EMBRACE IMPROVISATION. WRITTEN BY JULIE BALTER
The Hamptons, brimming with beauty and simmering in social activity, is both a haven and hub for home entertaining. Ever the consummate hostess, interior designer Kathryn Ireland infuses a free-spirited approach into the famous fetes held at her homes in Los Angeles and the South of France, and her newly released book, Kathryn at Home: A Guide to Simple Entertaining, captures the essence of Hamptons’ laid-back style. We asked the designer to share her summer entertaining essentials. Be ready for visitors. I shop at the markets every week so that I’m always prepared for people who drop by. It’s best to stick with the basics. You can never go wrong with serving a big salad, and the Hamptons are resplendent with garden ingredients. Dress your table with casual linens and lots of candles to set the stage and show you made an effort. Get your table on the best-dressed list. Give your table personality and make it your own. I love combing through the Hamptons’ flea markets for mix-and-match plates, old crystal and antique linens. Look for unusual
containers to hold silverware. Jugs are brilliant as vases that can be loaded with hydrangeas. Give the best hostess gift. I prefer to give something that money can’t buy. Make a playlist or create a book of favorite photos from your evening. If you prefer to purchase something, a wonderful present is a spiralizer for turning zucchini into spaghetti. Create a well-considered guest room. Make it a comfortable, uncluttered retreat. I suggest adding lavender bags; a carafe of water; lush, luxurious linens; and, always, a new bar of soap—nobody wants used soap! Set flowers by the bedside, as well as a selection of interesting books. Set the mood. The minute the sun sets, light tons of candles; the lighting in the Hamptons is spectacular and romantic ambience is key. Also, make guests feel relaxed. The party’s tone and direction is up to you and the energy you bring. It takes courage and a leap of faith to entertain. Mishaps are expected and great things often come of mistakes. Anything goes!

Designer Kathryn Ireland (below) knows that casual entertaining doesn’t mean lacking in style, as she illustrates in her new book, Kathryn at Home: A Guide to Simple Entertaining (far left). For the perfect summer Hamptons party, consider the many offerings of the area: Serve local food atop a table dressed with seasonal flowers, antique linens and mix-and-match dishes acquired from a flea market.

QUEEN
Ever since Marie Eiffel opened her chic boutique on Shelter Island, she has established herself as someone who thinks big. She then opened a second shop in Sag Harbor and, in 2013, transformed the former Reddings Market into Marie Eiffel Market, a local culinary paradise. This year, she is launching her own jewelry line, which is as bold as Eiffel herself— featuring large and organically inspired statement pieces. “Everybody right now is going small and delicate,” says Eiffel. “I do the opposite; I always go bigger.” 8 Grand Ave., Shelter Island Heights, 631.749.0707; 2 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 631.899.4332; 184 N. Ferry Rd., Shelter Island, 631.749.0003; marieeiffel.com 044 / LUXESOURCE.COM
we are able to do it—organic and locally sourced produce prepared and delivered ready to eat. What items on your menu do your customers seem to fi nd most delightful? Our barbeque pulled pork dumplings are a favorite. We also do a lot with local tuna, which we love being playful with: Tuna BLT sliders and tuna maki rolls are just a couple of examples. 631.488.0581; hamptonsaristocrat.com

HISTORY
This summer, gallery owner Tripoli Patterson reveals two very different exhibitions. From July 8 to August 8, the work of mixed-media artist Ashley Bickerton—whom Patterson has known since his teen years in Bali—will be on view. Then, on August 20, the gallery debuts an exhibition of local painter Susan Tepper’s work, such as Untitled (left); the gallery’s first posthumous solo show, it will run until September 19. “It’s important to look at what has contributed to the artistic culture here,” says Patterson of the exhibits. “It puts the artists in context with the history of the art scene.” 30A Jobs Ln., Southampton, 631.377.3715; 87 Newtown Ln., East Hampton, 631.324.0149; tripoligallery.com

Hamptons Aristocrat is not just about the food, but also the aesthetic and farm-to-table connection. Could you elaborate on this? We believe eating should start with your eyes fi rst, then fl irt with your taste buds and support your local farms and the planet.

Which plants grow best in the Hamptons? Things have warmed over the past 20 years, and typical southern plants, such as crepe myrtles, are flourishing now. Our customers prefer summer flowering plants like hibiscus and hydrangeas. Current gardening trends: Families who want to grow their own organic veggies and herbs. What should be kept in mind when planting in the Hamptons? Plant deer-resistant vegetation. Also, observe what is growing well in your neighborhood and borrow those ideas.
Preferred indigenous plant: Rhododendron viscosum, better known as swamp azalea. What plants flourish best in the area? Everything flourishes in the Hamptons; hydrangeas, Lagerstroemia and shrub roses arew summer seasonal favorites. Best Hamptons landscapes: Our beaches are spectacular. Other places include LongHouse Reserve, Madoo Conservancy and Bridge Gardens. Favorite local garden: The Southampton Rose Garden is a masterpiece.

Favorite indigenous plant: Shadblow serviceberry, with its twisted branches and large canopy. Take a ride to Montauk in late April and you will see a forest of them from the highway. Current trend: Grass meadows have become a popular alternative to irrigated mowed lawns. They are more ecofriendly. Where can we see the most beautiful landscapes in the Hamptons? Take advantage of summer garden tours, such as the Parrish Art Museum’s Landscape Pleasures symposium.
What type of flower is popular for Hamptons events? Dutch hydrangeas. These are the most perfect hydrangeas you have ever seen and come in so many colors. Combine them with garden roses, cut orchids, tweedia or dusty millers for an all-out “Southampton” look. Which flowers do you prefer? Tweedia, as well as lilacs, lily of the valley and peonies; their seasons are short but intoxicating! Favorite type of event to design for: A Southampton dinner party, which can range from informal to totally formal.
Trending Hamptons landscape style: Formal and open with outdoor patios. What plants should be used more? Boxwoods and Ilex crenatas mixed with lavender bushes. I love the rich green background created by the boxwoods and crenatas and its contrast with the lavender. Favorite indigenous flowers: Russian sage, black-eyed Susans and coneflowers. Which local nurseries do you prefer? Eastlands Nursery & Farms in Water Mill and Lynch’s Garden Center in Southampton.

10 What’s trending locally now? The preservation of the environment is not just a responsibility, but also a growing trend. Native trees, shrubs and flowers with a mixture of colors, heights and textures are both beautiful and ecologically respectful. Favorite plants: Clethra and arrowwood viburnum are my favorite; their flowers are scented and attract wildlife. Also, Veronicastrum and Verbena hastata because of the delicate flowers and pale colors. Describe the Hamptons in three words. The ultimate paradise. -FREDERICO AZEVEDO UNLIMITED EARTH CARE
11MYSTIQE FEMININE
AWARD-WINNING, BRIDGEHAMPTON-BASED ARTIST BASTIENNE SCHMIDT HAS JUST RELEASED HER LATEST BOOK, TYPOLOGY OF WOMEN, WHICH FINDS INSPIRATION IN THE FEMALE FORM.
This is your sixth book. How did it come to be? In my previous book, I used myself as the character in the role of the housewife. I separated silhouettes, and they became characters: a typology of women. I kept collecting these womanly figures, which stayed in my mind as silhouettes. What’s the significance of the silhouettes? It’s a poignant way of seeing things, and I express them with layers. Orange cutouts are not just orange; there are layers of paint with intuitive messages in them. When 046 / LUXESOURCE.COM
women see the work, there are often two or three characters they relate to. It’s a part of them they see expressed. There’s also an aspect of “Where else could we be in life?” The possibilities are endless. Tell us about the types of materials you worked with in this particular book. It’s collage: I mix my own types of pigment and hand-paint the paper, a technique of layering. I also fabricate my own little stencils, finding the fit in terms of patterns of paper and specific models. The size varies. Scale has an impact. It’s inescapable if you see a nearly humansize cutout of a woman. It has a very powerful impact. In all your work, themes of womanhood, motherhood, solitude and interconnection are present.

TEMIDRA WILLOCK, FOUNDER OF THE EAST HAMPTON APPAREL COMPANY VIVID BLUEPRINT, ADDS CUSTOM RUGS TO HER REPERTOIRE.
Why custom rugs? There’s something about working with a client—collaborating and creating a piece for their space—that I love. It becomes a work of art. What is it about a rug that can make or break a room? A rug sets the mood. It’s a piece of artwork on your floor. Customization allows you to establish a concept for the space. Most important things to consider in the design and execution of a great rug: Material, color, design and the space as a whole; there isn’t just one aspect. The rug should tie everything in the room together. Can you tell us about how these particular rugs are created? I draw the designs by hand, then scan them, or I design them right on the computer. Then, I send that information to Nepal, where the weavers handcraft them— I actually went to Nepal and India and saw firsthand how they make these rugs. We’ve lost a lot with mass-produced items. It’s important to take a look at where and how your things are being made and how it contributes to the world. vividblueprint.com 048 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Lynda Sylvester gives her Sag Harbor general store, Sylvester & Co., a facelift every three years, but this year she did reconstructive surgery. While she still offers weekend warriors everything they need—from the strongest coffee to the comfiest slippers—the space has become more of a luxury showroom. “I wanted a modern general store that has a sense of humor,” says Sylvester, “but raises the stakes in terms of design.” An exploration of the store reveals some surprises: The back wall looks like faded wood, but upon closer examination, one discovers it’s wallpaper, designed by Sylvester; a dining room table and chairs looks to be made of privet, while cork and flannel armchairs are departures from the expected. “People have had it with commercial things,” says the shop owner. “It’s not a point-and-click life my customers want.” Sylvester is also making room for her own designs, including an indoor/outdoor fabric that looks delicate but withstands storms. “It gives you permission to live,” she says, “to be relaxed.” 103 Main St., Sag Harbor, 631.725.5012; sylvesterandco.com

Martha Stewart returns to judge LongHouse Reserve’s 25th-annual competition of “Planters: On + Off the Ground,” on view from June 25 through July 30. This invitational features the work of landscape designers, artists, and architects, chosen by LongHouse’s Garden Committee. This year, in honor of the silver anniversary, designers must incorporate the theme of silver. The likes of celebrity chef Ina Garten and artist April Gornik have served as judges in the past, but LongHouse Reserve’s executive director, Matko Tomicic, says Stewart is the ultimate authority. “She is probably the most highly qualified person to judge,” he says. “When she gives a blue ribbon, people jump for joy.” 133 Hands Creek Rd., East Hampton, 631.329.3568; longhouse.org

The historic John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor reopens this summer after years of renovation, and visitors are being rewarded with not just a feast for the eyes but one for the nose, as well: A Jo Malone London fragrance garden designed by landscape architect Beth Franz is being unveiled. Meant to evoke a sense of solitude in a public domain, the garden provides an unexpected escape for readers. “I try to incorporate smaller nooks that draw people away from larger gathering areas,” says Franz. “This can be done with seating, planting or something as simple as a change in paving to create a sense of enclosure.” The plantings were selected to create year-round depth, not only in terms of bloom but also scent. “There will be more than 10 plantings, including rose, thyme and peony that tie back to Jo Malone London fragrances,” Franz says. “Perennial gardens, like the theater, need feature players, bit players and special guest stars to provide three-season blooming and winter interest.” 201 Main St., Sag Harbor, 631.725.0049; johnjermain.org

HAMPTONS’ REAL ESTATE INSIDERS OPEN UP ABOUT THE LATEST DEALS AND TRENDS.
SARAH MINARDI Saunders
There seems to be an increasing trend toward more modern and transitional homes. Are you seeing that, as well? Absolutely—especially in new construction, where the exterior is designed in the traditional cedar Shingle style, but the interior living spaces are free-flowing. Also, no one uses (or wants) a formal dining room anymore. Most over-the-top home you’ve sold this year: A completely done modern box, originally built in the late 1960s and expertly renovated both inside and out—over-the-top because we were able to sell it for more than I thought possible. It was a mere 1,200 square feet, and the sale was the start of what I call the “under-one-million-purchase revolution” that has been making the lower end of the market go bananas. Fill in the blank: Real estate in the Hamptons right now is... Where you should be putting your money. Ditch the stock market ASAP.

From top: The Shingle-style residence at 75 Toilsome Lane, listed by Sarah Minardi, is located at the gateway of East Hampton Village. Another one of Minardi’s listings, 40 Gardiner Drive in Amagansett, boasts a transitional design. Built to take advantage of its south-facing location, the home at 500 Old Town Road in Southampton Village, listed by Harald Grant, has a water view from almost every room. Located in the Amagansett Dunes, 40 Gardiner Drive boasts an openconcept kitchen.

Many Hamptons buyers look forward to hosting guests. What amenities are people looking for to increase their ability to entertain? Finished lower levels can add another complete floor to a residence, and there appears to be no limit to what builders are offering or what customers are requesting. We are currently seeing custom walkouts with patios and water features, oversize home theaters, elaborate wine cellars and superbly appointed guest bedroom suites. Are yearround residents looking for different things than summer residents? More and more, owners are coming out here during the off-season to enjoy homes they purchased originally as summer retreats. There is now a blending between what describes a pure year-round resident and a summer resident. Fill in the blank: Real estate in the Hamptons right now is... Busy!

Curb appeal or waterfront property: Seeing and being able to use whatever water they are on trumps curb appeal 99 percent of the time. What is the most over-the-top home you’ve sold this year? A home in Sagaponack South. Built by the masterful Lifton Green organization, with interiors and furnishings by the übertalented James Michael Howard, this 9,000 square-foot, seven-bedroom house came completely furnished right down to sheets, towels and audio-visual equipment. Which village is the hot new spot right now? Sag Harbor continues to attract buyers whose lives are not dictated by proximity to ocean and who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the area’s warm sultry nights, as well as its various bayfront opportunities. Do you have a favorite hamlet? I like them all, but I live in Sag Harbor. I rest my case.

Three top demands: Waterfront, large acreage with great location, and new construction. Most over-the-top home you’ve sold this year: I sold quite a few amazing properties. There was one on 17 acres with multiple building lots, 13 acres of gardens and a tree farm, a hydro tennis court, outdoor kitchens, a clubhouse, a golf putting green and a spectacular pool house. Do you see different hamlets appealing to different people? The last few years things have changed a bit: Sag Harbor boats world-class boating; Sagaponack, Wainscott and Bridgehampton are more rural, while East Hampton and Southampton are a little more formal; Water Mill is low-key, while Montauk has more of a happening scene; and Amagansett is still a little untouched.

CLASSIC LOCAL ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS ARE BRINGING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT. WRITTEN BY EMILY WEITZ / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL MORAN/OTTO
Harnessing inspiration from the agricultural history of the Hamptons, the modern barn has exploded onto the architecture scene in recent years. “It is a reference to a familiar form of our area and culture,” says Paul Masi of Bates Masi + Architects, who designed what they dubbed the Northwest Peach Farm in East Hampton pictured here. “This agricultural-inspired home is romantic in nature.” The style has now become so popular that it’s expanded beyond boutique architects to large-scale building firms such as Farrell Building Company and Plum Builders, which has devoted an entire arm of the company to the modern barn vernacular. “Once builders are in the game, you know the word is out,” says Nilay Oza of Oza Sabbeth Architecture. “They wouldn’t be executing these designs on a large scale unless they knew the market was hungry for it. It now has a mass-market appeal.”
This movement is part of a change in the feel of modern design—it’s becoming warmer and more organic. “Modern doesn’t just have to mean glass-and-stucco boxes,” says Nick Martin of Martin Architects. “The barnmeets-modern is a transitional archetype that allows people to connect their modern sensibility within the skin of a historic-based, country-based vernacular.” A modern barn fits as much into the landscape today as silos and windmills fit before it. The difference is that, upon closer examination, modern luxuries and sleek finishes are revealed. “In this particular project, as you zoom in on the details you see that it has its own unique aspects,” says Masi. “The articulation of it is something new. While it’s familiar in its shape, it is unique in its execution.” So, whether the plan is for a renovated historic structure or a new building inspired by Hamptons heritage, a good modern barn design is a testament to where we have come from, as well as a celebration of where we are now.

ELEVATED ESSENTIALS USING BOLD FORMS AND A GO-TO COLOR SCHEME, HAMPTONS VETERAN ANTHONY BARATTA CREATES A WARM YET ENERGETIC FOYER IN HORSE COUNTRY. This space is decidedly dynamic. Walk us through the process. The homeowner was a lovely gentleman bachelor with a daughter, so we wanted it to feel warm and inviting yet tailored and not over-the-top alpha male. The concept was to create a quintessential Hamptons home while keeping his family in mind. If you have a grand space that screams, “Make me a showstopper,” always take a step back. A good designer can make any space look beautiful. A great designer achieves that, and makes it very real for the family who lives there.

How do you imbue a high-traffic space with such elegance? The foyer is the one space in the home you almost always have to pass through, so we kept it clean and chic and devoid of gimmicks— classic all-American elegance with an East Coast nautical-chic twist. There are no bells and whistles, just good color saturation, good space planning and great furnishings. On the art, I happen to love this particular piece. It’s museum-quality but still very friendly, like the space itself. I don’t believe in creating gigantic spaces just to have a square footage number behind your home’s definition; I think real Hamptons is about taste, sophistication and a bit of understatement. It says, “Wow,” without saying, “Look at me.” Artwork / Marilyn Henrion / marilynhenrion.com. Custom Rug by Anthony Baratta / countrybraidhouse.com.

The mix of sturdy silhouettes and generous use of color feels at once grounded and punchy. Color drives design choices, and eventually satisfaction in the final result, and my goal here was to create a happy, comfortable home for the client. In terms of materials, most clients think they want to play it safe, but I like to put a few surprises into the mix. For your investment pieces, buy materials you are comfortable with—experiment on the accents. Throw in a piece of Lucite or lacquer in the end and you will end up feeling quite pleased with yourself. Above all, keep your sense of humor.

This room was made for socializing. I always encourage all of my clients to really live and use their spaces, and these clients love to entertain. They also spend holidays out here, and the double-height ceilings make it a lot more fun to decorate during the holidays. The owners, who are young and have two beautiful babies, love to be relaxed and comfortable in their environment, so they wanted it to feel luxurious and chic, but not fussy. What subtle features comprise the design of this space? The black accents bring in a level of
sophistication, while the textures, along with an array of finds from different places around the globe, layer the room to make it feel worldly, which, to me, makes it feel very cozy, as well. Layered textures are so important; they can give any interior a luxurious and elevated feel and look. I love mixing metals and stone together—everything pops off each other in a subtle yet exciting way. I also think monotone palettes always work. When there is minimal contrast in a color scheme, it is very soothing to the eye, especially when you are in a beach home and the main objective is to feel calm and relaxed.
How did you effortlessly infuse the home’s exterior into the interiors? Basically it was achieved by designing a space specifically for the duality of day and night. Natural light is everything. Whenever I can, I design large windows and doors to make the space feel larger and filled with light. I love the contrast of the black-framed windows against the nature that lies behind them; it’s what makes this room so magical. At night, the landscape is lit, and we are able to still bring the outside in. I can’t say it enough: outdoor lighting is essential and can’t be overlooked.

SEATED SERENITY SOFT HUES AND TONED-DOWN PATTERNS CREATE A MOMENT OF TRANQUILITY IN THIS SOPHISTICATED SAGAPONACK RETREAT BY BRADY DESIGN. How did you strike the perfect balance of sophistication and comfort? The style of the Hamptons is casual-chic. Here, we had a young family who wanted casual comfort that was also elegant enough for formal entertaining, something that is typical of the area. It’s really a balance that we have to strike with every project: making things steadily user-friendly, a little durable and as elegant as possible. No matter the space, there has to be some aspect of formality and sophistication that keeps with the rest of the project.
What are your tips for creating such a moment of tranquility? Always use a subtle palette with the occasional punctuation of pillows, lamps or art. Achieve soft plushness with muted fabrics and down cushions. For materials, use natural fibers—mostly linen, cotton and wool. Keep the option of lamplight or sconces alone, then complement them with soft, overhead lighting for a dramatic effect. Lastly, maximize daylight wherever possible by using delicate window treatments. 070 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Tell me about your thoughts behind the soft color scheme. Most of our clients live in Manhattan full-time and are looking for a sense of calm when they go to their summer home, a place to celebrate the natural light and the ocean. Because this is a beach community, the nature aspect of its surroundings is always first and foremost in a client’s mind. Our goal here was to evoke serenity in all the spaces through color: Each guest suite enjoys a soft, serene palette—this one was gray and lavender. We always try to use 100-percent linen, cotton or wool, never synthetics, and we try to transfer that sensibility to clients and get them to appreciate the natural aspect of the pieces that we’re decorating with.

Walk me through your vision when dreaming up this space. The owners live in the city so they wanted this house to be a place they could relax and feel comfortable in but that would also be modern and elegant. With the home being so close to the water, the owners wanted this space to reflect that, so we designed the master bathroom with the ocean’s tranquil elements in mind. Stepping into your bathroom, you should feel a pause, a moment of calm and quiet that allows you to relax. Tranquil and spa-like were the goals for this room, which features
a freestanding soaker tub and crisp white accents set against chiseledlimestone and Venetian plaster walls. It looks like texture was also key. I am a big fan of layering. It’s fun to include multiple textures, patterns and fabrics within a space; a balance of high and low helps make a room feel more comfortable and creates a livable elegance. The textures in this space were crucial to setting the scene. We paired the cool stone texture of the limestone wall with warmer wood tones while keeping the palette light and airy.
The natural light seems to flood the room with a dreamy energy. Lighting is a big factor when setting the mood of a space, and natural light tends to create a warm, gently glowing tone that can’t always be reproduced with a bulb. There should always be a mixture of both natural and decorative lighting, such as chandeliers and sconces, to play off of the standard overhead recessed lighting. Here, the whole house is very light and airy, and in the master bathroom especially. In the Hamptons, the natural light is very unique and beautiful—it’s almost too hard to describe.

In the living room, designer Timothy Brown mixed dressy and informal elements.

he more the merrier. Words to live by—and design by. At least when you’re a vibrant Manhattan couple with adult children and grandchildren looking to escape from a fast-paced life in the city to a place that the entire family can visit. A 10-bedroom house newly finished in Bridgehampton by builder Michael Paul D’Alessio of Michael Paul Enterprises filled with seaside charm fit the bill perfectly—plus, it was close to transportation and the shopping strip, and just a bike ride away from the beach. So, the couple turned to their trusted interior designer, Timothy Brown, to plan a casually elegant space “that didn’t feel like a beach house,” he says. “The idea behind the home was to have the family together and to be comfortable year-round.” The two-story house was already well-organized to suit a big family. The main living areas (including a piano room) and the kitchen are on the main floor, with the master suite, guest bedrooms and a combined office-bedroom
upstairs. Rooms are formally delineated rather than wide-open spaces, which lends a surprisingly cozy feel. “Even though the main house is 16,000 square feet with a basement,” says Brown, “it doesn’t feel large, as the rooms aren’t cavernous.” With such a large family, the owners really wanted to maximize seating. “ ‘One more chair, let’s do one more chair,’ ” Brown says with a laugh, recalling the wife’s repeated requests for accommodations. “They really do go out there every weekend, and they like to have their holidays there, too.” As a result, large areas such as the living room feature “zones” of various groupings: two custom rectangular low tables made of timber run the length of the sofa, which carves out its own space. A separate section is formed by an adjacent circular low table made of stainless steel and glass flanked by a pair of swiveling barrel chairs on one side and two upholstered rectilinear armchairs on the other. The piano room’s seating arrangements include a shapely

aubergine sofa and a few vintage armchairs, as well as a game table for bridge or casual conversation. “The wife wanted it to feel comfortable and refined to entertain friends,” says the designer. To this end, the dining room seats 14 people, and the choice of steel for the table reflects the wife’s easygoing personality. Custom-designed and based on a table she admired at a restaurant, it is treated to withstand heat and scratches. Upstairs, the bedrooms are “designed to grow,” says the designer, who planned flexibility to accommodate the need for additional nurseries. To help fulfill the owners’ desire for a house that didn’t feel too beachy, Brown chose a masterful mix of texture and color to help play up unexpected pieces or lend a casual air to dressier ones. “We decided to keep the overall look more like a comfortable yet refined beach
house, which meant softening the rug and using mohair instead of sisals,” Brown says about his living room decisions. “We used linens on the sofa and chairs to keep it feeling beachy, but we incorporated color instead of beige or white.” The wife loves green, so shades of the color are found throughout the house. In the entry, for example, a French 1920s green Holophane pendant hangs over a sleek, sculptural Eros marble table. “It’s an old element over something new,” says Brown. “The pendant is an antique fixture from an old factory, and it is a nice mix with the newer marble table.” All of these counterbalances create a home that is at once warm and welcoming, sophisticated and stylish. The effect is that the residence isn’t part-time at all, but that it’s lived in and in use—weekends and weekdays, all year-round—with plenty of room for everyone.

here are moments in life when one sees something and in an instant knows it’s right. That is what happened when a couple with three children was shown a North Haven property overlooking the sea. The location could not have been more perfect for their family, and as they arrived at the top of the driveway, a spectacular view appeared. But no project comes without its challenges and the owners, along with their architect, Blaze Makoid, faced a significant one: Local regulations limited the footprint of a house on the water. With room for family and friends a top priority, the couple needed plenty of space for their children and a plethora of guests. “Blaze really listened to me when I said, ‘This is our family dynamic. This is the way we live,’ ” says the wife. “He just understood what we wanted out of a summer home.” Indeed, Makoid went to work right away to create a home conducive to his clients’ way of life. “Their weekends revolve around socializing,” says the architect. “Their kids have friends over. Their friends come over with their kids. Their parents come out quite a bit. It’s not uncommon for there to be 20 people there for breakfast on a Saturday morning.” In response, Makoid proposed creating an indoor/outdoor space that would serve as one giant living area. To achieve this natural flow,

one of the most important aspects the architect considered was materials—beginning with glass walls with 14-foot sliders on either side of the living room. “The thought was when you walk toward the house, it opens up into an outdoor courtyard, then the living room, and then the back property,” he explains. “When they’re entertaining, they can open up the glass and create one continuous very large space.” Upstairs in the master suite, Makoid upped the ante of this concept, designing a room with glass walls that also open up in two directions. “Because of the cantilever, you feel like you’re floating,” says the architect. “You don’t see the ground below you. All your views are to the distance.” The interior and landscape designs also served as important factors in the transitional space, so Makoid brought interior designer David Scott and landscape architect Edmund Hollander to the team, along with general contractor Joseph Kelley. “When Blaze came to me, he had a strong concept of the sculpture of the house,” says Scott. “It was clear that we were going to have this wonderful collaboration.” The designer found inspiration for the décor in an aerial photograph he had taken when he was flying over Patagonia. “I looked down and saw a beige and golden landscape with this incredibly aqua river flowing through it,” he says. “It embodied the feeling of the
house.” To this end, Scott used a white-and-beige palette throughout the home and then injected hints of a strong blue, such as in the living room, where he contrasted a stunning teal-glass-topped cocktail table against the neutral sofa, chairs and rug. Hollander took his cues from Makoid and Scott. “This was a collaboration, where Blaze’s architecture, David’s furniture and our landscape had to seem as it was three hands attached to one arm,” says Hollander. “Because of the transparency, it is the quintessentially perfect Hamptons house. So much of the living in the houses of this area takes place in semi-indoor, semi-outdoor areas, in places where you smell the sea breezes, where you hear the birds, but you’re also protected from the hot sun.” The seaside location wasn’t just a factor in the aesthetics of the structure, however. Hollander also took it into consideration when choosing the foliage, planting native species, such as swamp maples and bluestem grass, that could withstand its effects. The final result is a home that feels twice as big as its actual square footage. And although the house has an easy, laid-back vibe, it is still sophisticated enough for the couple to host spectacular parties, such as fund-raising events and a Fourth of July soiree with a perfect view of the fireworks in Sag Harbor.
Designed as the ultimate oasis, the master bedroom features doors that open at two sides and reveal stunning views of the water and Sag Harbor. To reflect the view, Scott chose to use bronze glass on the wardrobe behind the custom wood-bronze-and-leather bed from DLV. The white Calvin Klein sheets, Suri alpaca rug from Holland & Sherry and subtle animal print on the Maxwell Blake chair add to the calming nature of the room.
“BECAUSE OF THE CANTILEVER OF THE MASTER SUITE, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE FLOATING.” -BLAZE MAKOID
The backyard provides a multitude of areas to dine and relax. For large meals, family and friends can gather around the Sutherland dining table, which is surrounded by Richard Schultz 1966 chairs for Knoll.

ost stories about buying a new home begin with the usual reasons: starting a family, needing more (or less) space, a job transfer. This one, however, begins with a cappuccino. Although a Manhattan couple had owned summer homes in both Sag Harbor and East Hampton over the years, there was one problem with the locations: the extra travel time required for the wife to pick up her requisite cappuccino and panini at Sant Ambroeus in Southampton on their way out east. So they began looking for a closer house, one that would easily accommodate their children and grandchildren and was within walking distance to the village, beach and train station. A five-month search led them to a house in the perfect locale—but a complete teardown was in order. That’s where designer John Vancheri came in. Working with the architect of record, Robert Ortmann of Zwirko & Ortmann Architects, on the zoning process and builder Phil Pape on the 16-month build, Vancheri designed a stunning 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home inside and out, 110 / LUXESOURCE.COM
including a gym, outdoor kitchen and screened-in dining area with fireplace, as well as a gunite pool, pergola and landscaping. “Modern, clean lines and white, white, white,” is how the wife describes what she and her husband were hoping for. “When we saw what he had created on paper, we were awestruck,” she says. “The vision was for the house to look like it could have been an old structure and to modernize it,” says Vancheri. “I used a lot of weathered woods for the beams and lintels. The paneling was also designed to look weathered, but it runs horizontally for a more contemporary look. Natural finishes, like the concrete floors, were installed without expansion joints so that it cracks naturally.” Pape, who came to Vancheri via a wordof-mouth recommendation, appreciated the designer’s meticulous attention to detail and the couple’s noncookie-cutter vision. “I loved the concept, the idea of quality over quantity,” he says. “Plus, the use of materials and the architecture were different from what we typically see in Southampton Village.”
Along with builder Phil Pape, designer John Vancheri collaborated with a local woodworker to build the stairwell (above, left), which connects the three levels of the home; installation was done by crane, dropped in from a circular skylight above. In the foyer (above, right) is a large custom mirror, 5 feet in diameter, designed by Vancheri and fabricated by Coastal Metals; the black-leather stools are by Holly Hunt.
The casual, sun-flooded living area features a dramatic 20-bulb light fixture by Lindsey Adelman Studio, a couch from Homenature in a Jerry Pair indoor/outdoor fabric and custom chairs by Vancheri in the same Jerry Pair fabric. The dining table is from Holly Hunt, with Maxalto slipcovered chairs from B&B Italia. Polished-concrete floors, fabricated by Pape Construction, dominate the main living space.

Of the couple, with whom he has worked on 10 renovation projects in New Jersey, Manhattan and the Hamptons, Vancheri says, “Aesthetically, they pretty much gave me free rein.” Yet they were very much involved in the planning of the layout. A primary aim was to be able to accommodate children, grandchildren and friends. To this end, Vancheri created an 800-square-foot guest suite on the second floor, as well as a 1,200-square-foot guest apartment on the lower level. Each is connected by a stunning circular staircase, built behind arched doors to create privacy between the guest spaces and main level. Another must-have: a wine cellar to store the husband’s extensive collection—about a thousand bottles; Vancheri designed it in white oak that he had stained a weathered gray. Noting the couple’s wish for openness, and having to contend with a local rule that the house must face the street, the designer got creative: “I wanted to get the best light and also wanted to maximize the look of 114 / LUXESOURCE.COM
the property while keeping it private,” he says. “It has an extra-wide main hall that stretches from the front door to the rear door with wide openings to the adjacent rooms to allow light to filter through.” In the public areas on the first floor, the ceilings peak at 18 feet, creating an astonishing sense of space and light. To maintain this feeling of airiness, the furnishings and décor are almost all white and gray, with the occasional touch of black to add drama—seen in stools in the foyer and the star pendants that hang over one of the dining areas. For Vancheri, when a job is over, it isn’t quite over. He masterfully orchestrates the moving company, as well as the television and phone services, and puts everything in its place once the move is complete. “With John, when you come in for the reveal, it’s turnkey—like being at the Ritz,” the wife says. “You walk into your new home with music playing, flowers on the tables, and often lunch! This one, though, is the most gorgeous house I have ever been in.”
Above: Of the stunning dark gray gunite pool—built by Loebs & Gordon Poolcraft—Vancheri says: “I designed it conceptually. I wanted the water to be level with the surrounding patio.” Opposite: The cabana is situated at the end of the pool to capture the exterior’s longest vista. The draperies—which were custom-made from a Sunbrella fabric—provide a sense of intimacy in the seating area.
