Description from Berg Design Architects:

Seen over the roadside hedge, the house looks like a group of small buildings clustered together. The house is the aggregation of three buildings; an 1800’s salt box moved from Sag Harbor, a 1920’s garage relocated from a previous position on the property, and a 1980’s building connecting the two. For the new owner, maintaining this illusion of a seaside cottage was as important as renovating the entire 3500 square foot house to function both as a comfortable retreat for a young family and a fabulous place to entertain.

Bergdesign linked the discreet volumes with a new elegant entrance for the house which previously had no primary entrance. The Western (Salt box) end of the house was redesigned by combining a number of small rooms to create a large open kitchen/family room. Reworked circulation eases the circuitous connections between the three buildings, and provides visual corridors to further connect different spaces within the elongated house. On the Ocean side of the house, a ribbon of oversized glass doors and windows and a new continuous deck strengthen the connection between indoors and outdoors.
