This 70’s era ranch home on Shelter Island’s West Neck Bay was transformed with a two-story design that simplifies the existing rooflines and creates expansive views of the bay.
Southold Bay
On the water side, we created a great room with an open kitchen, dining and living areas that have access to the deck and rear yard.
For energy efficiency, a louvered shading system on the southwest-facing wall preserves bay views while limiting afternoon heat gain. Electricity is provided by solar panels on the roof.
In the light-filled double height entry space, a sculptural open riser stair creates transparency.
Simple built-in millwork throughout the home offers ample storage. A skylit dressing room with custom cabinetry creates a moment of calm.
Built-in exterior lounge seating on the deck faces the bay for sunset viewing.
