Taking up about 8,000 square feet on one of the top floors of the city’s third-tallest building, the condo’s focal point isn't the panoramic city views but the clients’ expansive art collection.

The Watermill House is a beautiful example of a classic Hamptons wood shingle style home. The design and renovation would maintain the character of the exterior while transforming the interiors to create an open and airy getaway for a busy and active family. The house comfortably sits within its one acre lot surrounded by tall hedges, old growth trees, and beautiful hydrangeas. The landscape influenced the design approach of the main floor interiors. Walls were removed and the kitchen was relocated to the front of the house to create an open plan for better flow and views to both the front and rear yards. The kitchen was designed to be both practical and beautiful. The u-shape design features modern appliances, white cabinetry and Corian countertops, and is anchored by a beautiful island with a knife-edge marble countertop. The island and the dining room table create a strong axis to the living room at the rear of the house. To further strengthen the connection to the outdoor decks and pool area of the rear yard, a full height sliding glass window system was installed. The clean lines and modern profiles of the window frames create unobstructed views and virtually remove the barrier between the interior and exterior spaces. The open plan allowed a new sitting area to be created between the dining room and stair. A screen, comprised of vertical fins, allows for a degree of openness, while creating enough separation to make the sitting area feel comfortable and nestled in its own area. The stair at the entry of the house was redesigned to match the new elegant and sophisticated spaces connected to it. New treads were installed to articulate and contrast the soft palette of finishes of the floors, walls, and ceilings. The new metal and glass handrail was intended to reduce visual noise and create subtle reflections of light. Photo by Guillaume Gaudet

Articulating the contrast of the soft white lighting and white elements within the room, the bathrooms hardware utilizes crisp and vibrant honey bronze brushed components to further accentuate the light. With similar warm tones, the metal absorbs the warmth of the pendant lighting, strengthening the intensity of both.

Replacing the original tile to wood flooring and running it through the adjoining rooms helped strengthen the open concept. Trying to match new wood with old was a bit of a challenge but laying the wood on a diagonal as the other rooms where horizontal let the rooms join effortlessly.

In a fully automated home, water sensors can be installed to detect leaks at sinks, dishwashers, washers, and ice makers, etc. When water is detected, sensors signal and automatic valve that turns off the water supply to prevent flooding.
