Situated on one of the most high-end streets in Long Island, NY, is a private residence that took a very specific design goal and transformed it into one of the most unique homes the island has ever seen. The beach house, located on a street that is home to handfuls of multi-million-dollar properties, was designed to look like it “emerges from the landscape,” providing 180-degree oceanic views and customized features that truly make it one of a kind.

The house is composed of two elements: the main house and an adjacent pavilion positioned on a base that extends to the landscape. From the driveway entrance on the northern side, the house appears as a largely solid, stone-clad box-like structure with rectangular perforations as windows, but as you walk around to the back of the home, the more private facade is composed almost entirely of glass to showcase the oceanfront views.
