Paul’s Lane Residence, Bridgehampton, NY
This house suits its setting perfectly, with a nod to the surrounding farm fields and the neighboring horse barn—a classic Hamptons shingle style home. But on the inside, it is all style and sophistication to suit the toniest city penthouse.
The eventual homeowners saw it in its framing stage and loved the house and the site. Working with designer Kevin Bergin of Kevin Bergin, Architecture and Interior Design, they brought their preference for modernist forms and lush materials and wove them seamlessly into the ‘beach house’ idiom. It was an explicit objective to keep the interior spaces from feeling disconnected from the design sense of the shingle style exterior. Using simple formal geometries, timeless architectural materials, and hand crafted detailing, they’ve succeeded in giving this otherwise modern interior a warm sense of lived-in elegance that elicits both the calm of a Zen retreat and the intrigue of a boutique hotel.
