NOYACK

A weekend retreat for an artist and his family sits on a forested acre of land near Sag Harbor. Not unlike historic homes and barns of the area that grew overtime, the project is a formal aggregation of three house-shaped volumes, each dedicated to a separate function of the program: public life, private life, and art studio. The wood shingle façade responds to the vernacular building language, however, slight variations in the roof geometry provide a more evolved expression. While the natural landscape is left largely untouched to allow its appreciation, a courtyard provides a tamed outdoor experience.
