We designed this renovation of a seminal Charles Gwathmey house from the 1970’s in Amagansett, New York. The project carefully implemented upgrades and subtle modifications to create a more functional and useful home to meet the needs of the new owner. The exterior scope of the project included a full replacement of the building envelope including the roof, cedar siding, doors and windows, skylights, and pool deck—all designed and detailed to preserve the essence of the original design. The interior scope involved a considered rethinking of the kitchen area and living spaces, reinterpreting the original sculptural elements.

With Gwathmey’s original drawings in hand, which served as a guide, we carefully implemented upgrades and subtle modifications to create a more functional and useful home while maintaining the integrity of the original design.
