Long Island House
This private residence is located on the southern coast of Long Island. The design of the home is inspired by its surroundings of ocean and beach. The vaulted form is composed of a continuous wall and roof structure in two perpendicular directions, touching down on the dunes at only a few points.
An elegant, modernist retreat

Long Island House
Rendered in either a thin, concrete shell or fabric on aluminium frames, the building enclosure rests lightly on the landscape. The design of the roof is driven by the work of Felix Candela and other Latin American structural innovators. Natural light permeates the tent-like home through several skylights in the roof. The sporadic placement of the skylights is juxtaposed by a precise, orthogonal floor plan. The design of the Long Island house is an exercise in balance between contrasting forces like the interaction between the natural elements of water and sand at the building threshold.
