Set in an open field, this 15,000 square foot house is just a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean. The property is buffered by a five-acre land-trust parcel from the street, with a tall garden wall and square courtyard organizing the layout. The design separates service areas from the main house, pool and tennis court. The horizontal design reflects the flat Long Island landscape and features a two-car garage, workrooms, and a recreation area adjacent to the pool and garden. Energy-efficient features include a geothermal heat pump, radiant floors, and triple-insulated glass.

The east side features a large kitchen, breakfast, and laundry rooms on the ground floor, with children’s and guest rooms above. The second floor is cantilevered on two sides, with shaded terraces that provide solar shading for the ground floor. The ground level uses fiber-reinforced concrete panels, while the second floor has cedar siding
