Situated in Hither Hills, a rolling topography of dunes between
Montauk and Amagansett, this house provides a year-round retreat for a New York
family. With a design that cohesively melds architecture, interiors, and landscape,
RYA worked with the site’s steep topography, using it to configure a series of
spaces that cascade down the hillside. Resolved like a three-dimensional
puzzle, the layout creates a series of outdoor terraces that amplify the home’s
indoor/outdoor atmosphere. Clad in charred and natural cedar and glass, the
house is designed to integrate into its coastal environment. Inside, wood
finishes create a casual and comfortable environment suitable for the beach and
centered on the human experience of space and landscape.
