THE PINES BEACH HOUSE 2013, 2021

A renovation to this Fire Island retreat, located adjacent to sand dunes and facing the Atlantic, accentuates the relationship between the house’s volume, the swimming pool & deck. The new pool location and decks correlate with the simplified and upgraded interior spaces and focus on maximizing views toward the ocean. By responding to the original form and function of the original house, the new design provides privacy from beach go-ers and neighbors, while simultaneously allowing plentiful sunlight into the interior.
