Addition

The goal for this addition was to build two new generous guest rooms, each with full baths, above the renovated two car garage.

The design sequence started long before I was hired to do the addition. Diane Sjohom was contacted by the original speculation builders to do a complete site plan design. The subsequent buyer of the property maintained Diane to go ahead and implement these ideas and then worked with her jointly for another 30 years. I was brought in 5 years after the completed construction to design a substantial north wing addition to complement the original design.

Exterior & Grounds

This home boasts a traditional village shingle design, a hallmark aesthetic for the Hamptons. I integrated the new addition to match the existing roof forms, details and materials. The new columned “bridge” created a real entry to the pool entertaining area and tennis court. This feature serves as a lantern at night for arriving guests. Some street side gable end window groupings were replaced with larger double hung units to be more in scale with the original design intent.
