Rosen Residence, Sagaponeck, NY
Built on an agricultural reserve, this grand home boasts 9,200 square feet of precise handwork and bespoke luxuries. Exposed beams of reclaimed wood punctuate the ceilings of the large country kitchen, with its warm, brick hearth and natural stone finishes. Upstairs bedrooms soar with vaulted ceilings decorated with plasterwork detailing, and an upstairs play area serves the needs of the family’s children. To celebrate the owners’ extensive art collection, special display walls were built for flat art, while customized “art nooks” house specific sculptures. A dedicated stair tower provides a strong architectural and visual element even as it leaves living spaces free and expansive. The final touch: a porte-couchere allows for discreet entry into the garage. This home design won first place in Architectural Digest’s New York, 2008 open audition.
