  - Location: Bridgehampton, NY
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: Reinterpreting Norman Jaffe Adding on to, and updating, the house of a noted architect raises interesting questions. In the end, however, success seems to lie in an area between disregard and mimicry, where respect for the past does not preclude expression in the present.

- [Fowler Lane House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fowler-lane-house-pj-vj~562989)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: At its center, full height glass doors disappear into thick exterior walls. This opens the house to both ocean and wetland views, and allows ocean air and wetland breezes to mingle in the living/dining spaces. "Weathered" oak paneling throughout extends this metaphor to the interior.
- [Coecles Harbor House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coecles-harbor-house-pj-vj~480359)
  - Location: Shelter Island, NY
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: This 8,000 Square Foot house is a not a stage set, but a calm backdrop for natural light, water views and all the activities of a complex extended family. Bedrooms are grouped in pairs at the extremities of the house for maximum privacy.
- [Gibson Farm House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gibson-farm-house-pj-vj~480028)
  - Location: Sagaponack, NY
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: Early modernists responded to Sagaponack’s infinite horizon with simple glassy beach houses hovering just above the dunes, capturing the expansive views of the Atlantic over active farmland. The land has since been punctuated by shingled mansions and many of the distant views have been taken away. We were determined to take them back. This “upside-down” house was designed as a complex system of floor plates and staircases, optimizing views from every level. The main living spaces are centered in…
- [Mitchell Lane House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mitchell-lane-house-pj-vj~566115)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This house occupies the center of a 4-acre parcel in the middle of Hamptons horse country. Its one-story courtyard design began with a simple structural idea: a series of great trusses, as in a stable. These trusses organize the spaces of house, studio and garage.
- [Fairfield Pond House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairfield-pond-house-pj-vj~566832)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This design brings a classical sensibility to a 10-acre Sagaponack meadow. Concrete columns and concrete floors recall the ruggedness of area potato barns, while the waxed oak floors and fir paneling bring a contrasting elegance to the interior walls and cabinetry. Awards - 1999 Archi Award from Long Island Chapter of The American Institute of Architects Publications - Ocean Home, Summer 2007 - Dream Homes, Published 2006 by Panache Partners LLC - Homes of the Hamptons Magazine, July/August 2004…
- [Daniel's Lane House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/daniel-s-lane-house-pj-vj~480218)
  - Location: Sagaponack, NY
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: Most would call this a modern house, but its upside-down organization and grounded forms actually have more in common with the villas of Palladio, deconstructed. Monumental stone entry stairs and two-story exterior stone walls recall the villa. The glass walls to the ocean side suggest a villa cracked open, to allow for 21st century lifestyles.
- [Amagansett Lanes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amagansett-lanes-pj-vj~568716)
  - Location: Amagansett, NY
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: The Lanes in Amagansett have historically been a cottage-scaled community; however, recent residential development has begun to overshadow the local vernacular. Positioning the house perpendicular to the street allows the home to meet the client’s needs while maintaining a modest facade towards the Lanes. Covered porches extend from the circulation path, allowing for abundant natural light in the winter while providing necessary shade from the hot summer heat. At the center, the porch overhang b…
- [Halsey Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/halsey-lane-pj-vj~570655)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: This prominent 17-acre parcel on Water Mill farmland suggested an architecture of restraint. The house is composed of simple white volumes, carefully combined. The house and outer buildings are deployed around a new farm pond. The driveway approach is from the side of the house, as is common with regional farm structures, defeating any association with the villa.
- [Hempstead Street House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hempstead-street-house-pj-vj~562975)

- [1106 Mecox](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1106-mecox-pj-vj~1420452)
