Local studio Garnett DePasquale Projects has settled a compact, black-stained cedar<\/a> house on a tree-lined Sag Harbor lot in the Hamptons<\/a>\u00a0in New York.<\/p>\n

Known as Meadowlark, the 3,853-square-foot (358-square-metre) house was originally intended to be an extension of the clients’ neighbouring property, but turned into a standalone residence.<\/p>\n

\"HouseGarnett DePasquale Projects has completed a cedar-clad house in Sag Harbor<\/p>\n

Garnett DePasquale Projects<\/a>, which has offices in New York City<\/a> and Sag Harbor, worked to fit the four-bedroom, two-bath house on a 45-degree section of the small site due to local zoning restrictions, which also pushed the house further from the street, due to its height.<\/p>\n

Completed in 2023, Meadowlark took four years to design and build.<\/p>\n

\"MeadowlarkThe back of the house features a full wall of glass on both levels<\/p>\n

“It started with something that looked like a faux whaling museum,” principal Pete DePasquale said, explaining that the traditional gabled design morphed into a large, singular box articulated with modernist details.<\/p>\n

The house is clad in stained cedar, “but with a nuanced, warm, sensitive approach to livability and texture”.<\/p>\n

\"GreenVarious shades of green appear throughout the house<\/p>\n

It has an almost-completely opaque front with a single door and window. Meanwhile, the rear facade is wide open with a full wall of glass on both levels.<\/p>\n

The horizontal blackened cedar<\/a> lap siding is broken into small segments with vertical battens that run from the foundation to the parapet.<\/p>\n

“There was a lot of investigation into how stairs could work, how we could make the floor plates make sense,” principal Rebecca Garnett said, noting the balance between the open, accessible back and the private front facade.<\/p>\n

\"KitchenBlack and white stone in the kitchen contrasts the light wood floors<\/p>\n

The simple form and modularity expressed in the window mullions carry through to the interior.<\/p>\n

The program was laid out with “a real emphasis on both platonic and rational form”, according to the studio.<\/p>\n

The entrance is centred in the plan, but the staircase<\/a> completely separates the floors and divides the program in a way that orients and reorients views between the interior and the rolling landscape outside.<\/p>\n

Various shades of green \u2013 from tile around the fireplace to a velvet sofa to a sunken lightwell \u2013 appear throughout the house, softening the modernist interiors with visual and tactile textures, while floor-to-ceiling curtains mitigate light and heat through the expansive glass.<\/p>\n

\"HamptonsAn upper-floor bedroom looks out over a pool<\/p>\n

Soft natural wooden floors contrast black metal columns and window frames, and black and white stone adds a flat, marbled pattern to the sleek counters in the kitchen and bathrooms.<\/p>\n

Blackened cedar siding<\/a> is found often in this area, especially in the nearby Hamptons, appearing in other recent residential projects including a renovated, multigenerational house<\/a> by BarlisWedlick, a home studio extension<\/a> by Worrell Yeung and a “villain’s hideout” home<\/a> that interior designer Timothy Godbold designed for himself.<\/p>\n
