Located on Long Island’s North Fork, this house with modernist lines needed a facelift.

We conceived a salvage kit of parts aiming towards some key aspects: Making the North side more usable and lively by introducing upper and lower decks with a staircase, and adding a soffit to emphasize a wrapping relationship between roof overhang and new deck, complemented with new Juliet balconies; placing a new frame-like return wall with a balcony on the East façade to strengthen engagement with surrounding nature; replacing the gloomy 1970’s board & batten with lighter cedar wood siding; improving the main entry at South by extending its cropped-looking porch; adding a new canopy for the garage at West, adding new fiber-cement cladding on upper level walls and porch, and, finally, re-coating the old beige stucco with an off-white tone.
