Artist’s Residence and Studio

An artist commissioned this house and studio on 17 acres on eastern Long Island. Inspired by typical New England farm structures, the house, studio, garage, and pool pavilion form a quartet of taut, shingled and gabled volumes arranged around a central courtyard. The structures are positioned to provide a series of outdoor rooms emphasizing the spatial relationships between the buildings. Materials mirror the traditional vernacular, including cedar siding. While the façade has conventional punched openings, large in-opening casement windows were used.
