We designed this Hamptons compound when the property’s existing, beloved Norman Jaffe house no longer fit our client’s needs. We began by designing a master plan for the 7.6 acre site for a series of buildings, varied in scale and use, that prioritize connecting with the land. Within this masterplan, we designed five compact, strategically placed new buildings – the Main House, North House, Pool Pavilion, Greenhouse, and Cottage. Their warm modernism complements the Jaffe house, which we renovated and moved to another area on the property.

We designed a master plan for the 7.6 acre site, organizing the layout to accommodate the future needs of the client.
The site’s existing house – designed by Norman Jaffe, who popularized rustic Modernist houses in the 1960’s and 70’s – was renovated and moved to another area on the property.
The compound consists of five buildings, each zoned as a single family home. We studied and prioritized view, solar and wind orientation, connectivity and privacy to form a cohesive collection. The houses, varied in scale and use, are carefully positioned to connect with the surrounding landscape and to relate to one another.
With a refined material palette and timeless design language, the five new buildings embody a warm modernism, resembling and complementing the elegant rusticity of the Norman Jaffe house.
