SHINGLE-STYLE HOUSE ON THE HAMPTON DUNES
East Quogue, New York
Press Features
This Shingle-style house on a dune overlooking the Atlantic Ocean offers sweeping views of the water from all major rooms. The gambrel roof, gray-stained fancy-cut shingles, slender Doric columns at the porches, and blue shutters recall earlier shingled Dutch Revival houses typical of Eastern Long Island. The attention to detail is carried through to the interior architecture, where elegant proportions, beadboard ceilings, antique wood floors, and an inspired vocabulary of casings and fretwork make for distinguished yet casual interior spaces, creating a perfect setting for furnishings by interior designer Steven Gambrel. The open plan organizes the living room, dining room, and library around a central hall for distinguished yet casual summer living; a living room porch and circular dining porch allow for beachfront entertaining.
