PRIVATE RESIDENCE AND CERAMIC STUDIO
Wainscott, NY
Situated on an estuary close to the ocean in Wainscott, NY, this home and studio compound was designed to meet the personal and professional needs of a renowned artist. The main house with attached guest wing, a free-standing sculpture studio and kiln, a pool and cabana with shade pavilion, and a variety of outdoor areas provide spaces for living, working, making, relaxing, entertaining, and being in nature.

JAPANESE DESIGN INSPIRATION
Set amidst a unique landscape of indigenous grasses and other plantings, the home exudes a casual elegance and a Zen-like calm. The architectural forms are modest, reflecting the influences of local Wainscott farmhouses and Japanese design. The interiors facilitate indoor-outdoor enjoyment and the framed views of the landscape inspire a deep appreciation for the timeless beauty of nature.
ARTIST’S STUDIO
A very serious creative outlet for the owner is ceramic arts. To address this need, a free-standing ceramics studio with indoor (electric) and outdoor (gas-fired) kilns was also incorporated into the site.
