Wainscott, New York
Program: A 6,000-square-foot residence and woodshop set on 2.5 acres on the south shore of Long Island.
Design concept and solution: With a new structure, the architects responded to their client’s passion for barns by incorporating into the design traditional qualities of barns—generous spaces, repetitive timber frame—while creating a complex interior for modern living. They placed public living areas on the second floor and covered them with a wood-and-steel timber-framed ceiling. A skylight brings natural light into the upper level during the day. By night, the louvers and rain screen siding cladding the house causes it to appear like a lantern when the lights are on.
