HOUSE RENOVATION ON THE NORTH FORK, LONG ISLAND
Project in collaboration with Eisner Design, NY / Role: Senior Designer
Situated on Long Island's North Fork, this modernist house underwent a comprehensive revitalization.
Key enhancements included: optimizing the North side with upper and lower decks connected by a staircase and introducing a soffit to integrate roof overhang with the new deck, alongside new Juliet balconies; reinforcing engagement with surrounding nature by adding a frame-like return wall with a balcony on the East façade; replacing dated 1970s board & batten siding with lighter cedar wood siding; extending and enhancing the main entry porch at the South; installing a new canopy for the garage at the West; applying fiber-cement cladding on upper level walls and porch; and refinishing the old beige stucco with an off-white tone.
