Darby Lane — a house that deliberately reveals the landscape

East Hampton, NY
3,400 square feet
Type: Houses

This modern weekend house lies on a small, flat property in East Hampton, Long Island. Beautiful old trees punctuate the landscape, acting as a framework for and motivation behind our design. A square entry-court straddles the boundary between nature and home; it shelters a striking crape myrtle. The house’s exterior stucco, brick, and wood surfaces express intersecting one- and two-story volumes, outlining the courtyard, second floor terrace, and mass of the fireplace.
