This tranquil beach house offers a fabulous family getaway destination that was designed by Wettling Architects, located on Shelter Island in New York. This seaside property is nestled the far eastern edge of Shelter Island, across the bay from the Mashomack Nature Preserve, offering a relaxing vacation retreat from the bustle of New York City.
“Design harmonizes with the serenity of the natural space through the use of low sweeping roof lines, soft natural materials, and ethereal colors,” states the architects. The home was designed to maximize the views towards the water from just about every room. Interior and exterior living spaces were designed to accomodate family living and entertaining.
The interior palette is comprised of soft organic materials of stone, wood beams and wooden flooring mixed with beautiful furnishings. The residence opens in the direction of the water to provide the inhabitants sensational seaside views from every room. The residents are an active young family who enjoys entertaining frequent guests, so the interiors needed to be functional and withstand wear and tear. Both interior and exterior spaces are very bright, spacious, inviting, cozy and super beach friendly.
This cozy living room is very bright with all of the windows, offering slip covered sofas for easy cleaning and a cozy seating arrangement for great conversation. Furnishings are centrally situated around a stunning stone fireplace with a wood beamed mantel, grounded by a textured area rug that separates the space from the kitchen and living areas.
