BFB Architect teamed up with interior designer Harry Schnaper, for the renovation of this Hamptons residence that combines both traditional and modern design elements.
“The clients came to us with a simple brief: they wanted big, comfortable rooms and open-plan entertaining spaces,” says Brian Billings, BFB Architect’s founder. “The only hitch was that the husband wanted a traditional shingle-style house while the wife wanted something much more modern.”

The house, meant to be a weekend retreat for a family of four and their steady stream of guests, sits on a long, narrow lot terminating at a tall bluff with expansive views of the North shore of Long Island.

Inside the house, the windows, like in the living room, are framed with pilasters, while plaster crown moldings and wide-plank Oak floors can be found throughout.

The furniture and lighting choices add the modern touch that was required.
