Southampton Saltbox Redux

This award winning project is a kinetic renovation for a family to revel in the weekend. Asked by her client to review a typically mundane Southhampton ‘50s saltbox. Ms. Cohen approached the renovation with precision considering the client’s budget and the project timeline. To refine the existing building footprint, precise architectural gestures were used with a series of finely calibrated moments, making the space more gracious and light filled. Architectural acts were bold in concept; such as capturing the car garage to add a hyper modern media room by reconfiguring one side of the house’s roofline to manipulate the space. Another result was a sensational master suite that occupies the north side of the house utilizing an otherwise un-useful attic space. All these refinements make for a crafted, articulate result rather than bowing to the bigger is better theme, which is more prevalent in the Hamptons.
