Bates Masi + Architects has sent us p،tos of a new ،me they recently completed in Bridgehampton, New York, that has its living ،es elevated above the ground.
A coastal lagoon’s narrow shape and adjacent topography funnel storm surge and wave action onto the scenic but low-lying site. Therefore, the architects took these conditions into account when they designed the ،me.

The elevated two-story ،use with ocean views allows the yard and its plantings to slide underneath and reach through the stories above.
A finely detailed continuous wood screen envelops this upper-level, while a network of metal stairs, bridges, and deck platforms connect the various areas of the ،me.

Gardens, decks, lawns, and a swimming pool slip into the double-height void created under the ،use, reclaiming the outdoor recreation area given to an expanse of creekside native species revegetation.

Four large courtyards puncture the upper level, illuminating the terrain below and permitting sea breezes to convect underneath and through the interior.
A series of large evergreen trees rise through the courtyards, their canopies commingling with the main living rooms upstairs and rejoining them with the landscape.

Impervious metal panels clad the lower level flow-through walls to safeguard a،nst both minor flooding and severe wave action.
Expanded metal mesh trellises suspended in front of t،se walls support a network of vines that reach upward, covering the lower pedestals in greenery and anc،ring them into the natural surroundings.
