THE FAMOUS…

gentle of Very long Island’s East End is the primary creating block of this modern getaway dwelling, whose vaulted rooms and considerable home windows were being falling far limited of their possible prior to Sag Harbor-dependent Winter McDermott came to the rescue. “Hard to think, but the household used to be dark, with quite in excess of-scaled furniture,” recalls Maureen Winter McDermott, the firm’s founder and principal designer, who undertook a partial renovation and all-new furnishings plan for a young household in have to have of a respite from their busy New York City lives. Now, the residence, surrounded by native woodlands, exudes a serene radiance, thanks to the masterful manipulation of that light-weight and a staunch motivation to an nearly pure white palette. The 1st move was “getting factors down to a blank slate,” as the designer puts it, which integrated refinishing the existing wood floors for a pale underlayment, changing chaotic fire mantels with very simple personalized plaster types, enlarging the primary bedroom and redoing two baths.

 

 

SCULPTURAL…

light-weight fixtures and boldly shaped furnishings, quite a few from Italy and Scandinavia, lead to a seem that is anything but cookie-cutter. Anchoring the residing room’s temper of casual sophistication is a sensuous, 1970s Gianfranco Frattini Sessan couch, a striking and singularly darkish focal issue in a encompassing sea of whites.

THE DINING…

room’s French doorways, arched fanlight and higher beamed ceiling only invite the daylight in. A playful parasol-shaped pendant light dances more than a custom made desk of whitewashed maple. Seating involves Betty eating chairs with woven linen seats from Garde and a caned accent chair by Pierre Jeanneret.

 

 

 

THE DECIDEDLY…

DISTINCTIVE…

woven wallcovering in the new most important bathtub is unexpectedly juxtaposed with the formality of a marble sink.

 

 

THE TEXTURE…

story proceeds in the bedrooms, with thickly tufted white wool rugs and a Bloomsbury daybed included in a nubby bouclé.

 

 

 

IN THE…

skylight shower, shadows engage in on the purely natural irregularities of white-painted brick. “We seriously preferred to produce a experience of serenity and serene,” the designer says. With the help of wonderful daylight and the indispensable shade white, they did just that.
