‘The design of this house by L.E.F.T. starts from the idea of a modern barn, a hybrid that can adhere to the rigid stylistic concerns of the Hamptons Architecture Review Board (ARB) and offer a modern aesthetic paradigm at the same time. Facing un-interrupted views of an agricultural reserve in Bridgehampton, the design of the house mediates between an ideal orientation towards the reserve and an inevitable shadow on the landscape that this orientation creates.

Shifting the second floor of the house, the house cast shadow on itself hence limiting it on the landscape.

Composed of 5 bedrooms, the house is clad with a board and batten siding that joins roof and walls into a continuous monolith.’
