This inviting shingle style beach house was designed by Smiros & Smiros Architects, located in Quogue, a village in Suffolk County, New York. Encompassing 8,175 square feet of living space, this impressive waterfront home is the perfect retreat for summertime getaways, making lifetime memories with family and friends.
Here is the architect’s statement about the design of this home, “there is power in a broader perspective, whether it refers merely to the visual scope of the considerations about the infinite universe. Situated on a small inlet, a 1970s house stood with questionable motives, facing a willfully narrow perspective of a breathtaking panoramic view along a generously proportioned bay.”

“Impossible to build beyond the existing footprint, we rotated the orientation for a new shingle home and elevated it to suddenly gain a radically expanded perspective – views revealing that the house was on a peninsula, not just a quaint inlet. Along a generously fenestrated wall facing the water, we placed an enfilade of the primary living spaces, facilitating flow for gathering and entertaining. It is an entirely different outlook on the family’s immediate world.”
What We Love: This sprawling beach house maximizes views from every room, offering breathtaking vistas over the coastal waters. A beautiful exterior welcomes one into this gorgeous abode, where living spaces offer an abundance of natural light. Crisp white walls serve as a backdrop to artwork, while not detracting from the views outside. Outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining all summer long. Who would ever want to leave this place?
