More About This Book

Overview

A luxurious look at nineteen private houses in the Hamptons, Long Island’s exclusive summer retreat—with architecture, interiors, and gardens from celebrity designers including Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan, John Barman, Fox-Nahem, Thad Hayes, Tony Ingrao, Todd Merrill, Roman & Williams, and Joe d’Urso.
 
These architects and interior designers are inspired by the island’s renowned natural beauty to create houses that set the global standards for oceanfront style. Today, that means thoughtful, modern, highly personalized structures that reference the East End’s rich history and are designed to enhance appreciation of the fabled seaside landscape.
 
The properties range from shingled beach cottages to a redesigned 1840s barn and a sustainable, glass-walled guesthouse on pilings. They display a curated blend of traditional references with cutting-edge architecture and enviable art collections, finished by the South Fork’s famous light and ocean views.
 
In some houses, a sense of calm pervades, and cozily appointed dining terraces with neutral color schemes look out over peaceful docks, while in others, vibrant midcentury modern accessories and outsize outdoor fireplaces point to frequent and exuberant pool parties. Whether they are decorated with natural materials and iconic 1950s and 1960s furniture from Charles Eames and Hans Wegner, or eighteenth-century antiques and industrial objects—all have been carefully selected to demonstrate the possibilities of authentic design in the Hamptons today.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
10/15/2014
The Hamptons continues to be the place for the elite to spend the summer or take up permanent residence. Journalist and editor Iannacci visits 19 homes on that section of Long Island, NY, in this work. He presents newly constructed and renovated dwellings professionally handled by architects and interior designers, illustrating, in almost 250 photographs, a restraint in design that accommodates rather than overwhelms the residents. Many of the interiors and gardens featured are from the homes of professional interior designers such as Joe D'Urso, Jonathan Adler, and Simon Doonan. VERDICT A refreshing, divergent look at luxurious residences that stand apart from the typical megamansions.
