For a private client in East Hampton, AMPOPS let sun's path across the sky guide the design. Windows along the southern facade gather daylight and feed a passive solar heating strategy that warms the interior through the colder months. Deep overhangs block the high summer sun while letting low winter light reach inside, balancing comfort and efficiency. The north and street-facing walls stay solid for privacy, turning the home inward. Rather than opening outward, the house wraps a private courtyard with a pool, framing views of water, plants, and sky. Where outside views are limited, skylights pull light from above. Inside, natural finishes and measured light shape a calm interior, a retreat removed from the city by intention rather than isolation.
