This beach house getaway was designed with a fresh, modern vibe by James Merrell Architects in collaboration with Flatiron 27, located in Amagansett, New York. A getaway home for a young family of five from Manhattan, this dwelling offers a relaxed living environment with a simple palette of natural woods throughout.

On the exterior facade of this two-story home, the cedar shingles and gabled roof provide a breezy beach house aesthetic that invites you inside. Ample walls of glazing help to bathe the interiors with natural light, making living spaces feel bright and airy. Interior spaces were created to have a sophisticated modern vibe, yet laid back enough to feel warm and welcoming.
