Three Mile Harbor House / Bates Masi + Architects

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Scenic shorelines tend to be subdivided finely, maximizing water access to the greatest number of inhabitants. The lots in this neighborhood take that principle to an extreme with small slivers of land ten times deeper than their width. Given that new construction must retreat from the shoreline, this leads to houses stacked closely side-by-side along a common setback line, each reaching for optimal views. These factors create challenges for privacy, daylight access, and air circulation. Accordingly, zoning laws prohibit each structure’s height from exceeding its horizontal distance to the property line, further narrowing the building envelope. In this context a builder and mariner sought to create a home with the efficiency of the boat he once lived on, creatively adapted to address the site’s challenges.

Andreas Luco — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 02:00:00 +0000

Completed in 1978, Norman Jaffe's Gruss House is a representative example of his self-described "Zeus style". Referencing the mythological god of the sky, Jaffe found formal inspiration in the sky, clouds, and coastal dunes of the Eastern Long Island.

Northwest Harbor / Bates Masi + Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 15:00:00 +0000

Straddling freshwater wetlands and a tidal estuary just six feet above sea level, this house’s site demands extraordinary sensitivity to environmental concerns. Local zoning restricts the structure’s maximum coverage and proximity to wetlands areas, while Fema requirements set the first-floor structure above the base flood elevation. The house’s basic massing is therefore predetermined, limited to a one-story, 1,900 square foot design, raised eight feet above the ground. The spaces within this envelope are arranged, articulated, and fenestrated based on an innovative structural system that infuses the house’s inner areas with light and circulating air.

Georgica Close / Bates Masi Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 09:00:00 +0000

The clients of this new home had been living in a house built in the 1960’s designed by a disciple of Marcel Breuer, one of the “modernist masters”. The site is situated along the shore of a coastal lagoon, and became a victim of the storm surge from Hurricane Sandy. Distraught by the destruction of their home, the clients sought to rebuild in an effort to restore the strong emotional connection they had to the previous dwelling.

C+S House / AE Superlab

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 21 May 2018 13:00:00 +0000

Georgica Cove / Bates Masi + Architects

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 15 May 2018 13:12:00 +0000

A couple with property on a cove overlooking the ocean asked for a house that would be comfortable for just the two of them the majority of the time. However, with their love of entertaining, the house had to grow on busy weekends to accommodate their children, grandchildren, and guests. To instill the desired sense of comfort and peace, it was also important that the design blend with the pastoral setting and vernacular building traditions: predominantly shingle style homes and barns that are often built and added to over time. Historic precedent studies revealed that referencing New England connected farms in an innovative way could achieve both goals.

Further Lane Pool House / Robert Young Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 12:00:00 +0000

The goal for this Hamptons pool house was to create a maximum variety of experiences within a relatively small set of indoor and outdoor spaces, all within eyeshot and earshot of each other. Moving through the space reveals a range of dedicated areas: a seating area with fireplace, trellised sections that frame the sky, enclosed areas for storage and food prep, and a changing room and bathroom. Elements of nature abound, from cedar louvers to bluestone floors to a natural zinc roof, which will patina over time. Plenty of trees and foliage surrounding the structure give it a feeling of enclosure, so that you can’t tell where the architecture ends and landscape design begins. A chimney made of handmade Petersen bricks from Denmark rises above, anchoring the composition of spaces with a place to gather.

Old Orchard / BMA Architects

Sabrina Leiva — Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:00:00 +0000

One year after purchasing Old Orchard, a 10,000 square foot modern spec house, the homeowners brought on Blaze Makoid Architecture to give the residence a complete redo. The original structure was configured as a linear, single story, glass and metal box with grade carved down to basement level at both ends. This provided below-grade access to a garage at one end and a small courtyard for two lower level bedrooms at the other.

Pierson’s Way / Bates Masi Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 09:00:00 +0000

Located within a private oceanfront community established in the 19th century, this residence is for a young couple looking for a home that would accommodate their growing family and reflect their modern lifestyle. Due to its history, most houses in the neighborhood are more conservative in design and scale than surrounding contemporary oceanfront communities. As a result, the clients desired a modern home that would fit within it’s historic context while embracing the modest scale of the property.

AD Classics: Saltzman House / Richard Meier & Partners Architects

Denim Pascucci — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 01:00:00 +0000

One of the earliest built works of Richard Meier, The Saltzman House, completed in 1969, is one of several Meier-designed residences that exhibits his signature style: absolute whiteness, geometric composition, and the prominence of light. With a heavy early-Modernist influence, the Saltzman House captures the purity of form and space seen in the projects of Le Corbusier.

Stone Houses / LSS

Megan Jett — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Re-cover Residence / Bates Masi Architects

Nico Saieh — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Thirty-five years after the firm originally designed this vacation residence, its new owners sought to rejuvenate the house while preserving its spaces, seasoned tones, and texture. Clad inside and out almost entirely in twelve-inch wide cypress boards, the original house exuded a straightforward simplicity the owners wished to maintain. By constraining the palette of materials and reusing salvaged parts of the existing house, the line between new and old becomes nearly imperceptible, limited only to minimal inflections in finish.

Northwest Peach Farm / Bates Masi Architects

Nico Saieh — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000

This residence is primarily used when the clients’ extended family comes from England for long visits. They come to relax and to reconnect with their family and with nature, away from city crowds and traffic, at a retreat they neither want nor need to leave for a month. The design objective was to make every day of that month unique by providing a range of destinations within the site with diverse scales, functions, and views: from gathering in the expansive living room overlooking the fields of the former peach orchard to reading alone on a shaded bench between the library and the edge of the forest. Multiple paths and hallways connect each destination, further increasing variety. Finally, each detail and custom furnishing is designed to make mundane rituals into thoughtful events.
