Georgica Bluff

Bellwether Architects led the complete renovation and expansion of this 1891 East Hampton home perched between the Atlantic Ocean and Georgica Pond. With a legacy that includes former owners Juan Trippe and Calvin Klein, the house was redesigned to honor its storied past while crafting a livable, layered future. The architectural scope included two new additions, a reimagined entry sequence, and meticulous restoration of key historic elements. Parisian interior designer Tristan Auer joined the team for his first U.S. residential project, bringing a refined European sensibility to the interiors. Highlights include a sculptural stair tower with a Klein Blue-painted dome, a metal-clad fireplace nodding to aviation history, and a new “keyhole” portal framing the pond and many thoughtful touches throughout. The result is a legacy estate transformed for modern life—deeply rooted in memory, craftsmanship, and a serene coastal context.
