HAMPTONS MODERN - DAVID SOKOL GEBUNDEN

Long known as an enclave for the wealthy and glamorous  today the Hamptons and nearby coastal
communities have become a haven of seaside modernism. New Hamptons Houses showcases houses that
reflect the area's design history and strong affinity for its landscape. There are few places
in the United States that have experienced as many waves of American modernism as Long Island's
East End. In New Hamptons Houses  author David Sokol explores the latest architectural
experiments taking place in New York's legendary summer retreat. With contemporary design
increasingly mainstream in the region  the seventeen residences featured here reflect
modernism's spread across not just the Hamptons but up-and-coming destinations like Bellport
and Montauk  Greenport and Mattituck. Yet perhaps more important  the houses featured here
represent a shift away from the image of conspicuously sprawling properties for the elite 
these projects return to modernism's founding principles  shun Instagrammable spectacle  and
steward the East End's increasingly fragile landscape. These houses interface with the seaside
landscape in ways that that reference the Hamptons' rich design history and sensitively
highlight Long Island's famed natural beauty. Some are renovations and additions to houses by
famed twentieth century modernists like Andrew Geller  Charles Gwathmey  and Norman Jaffe  and
leading offices such as Bates + Masi  Young Projects  and Ryall Sheridan Architects represent
the contemporary approach to twenty-first century regionalism. New Hamptons Houses presents
these and numerous other examples of design-forward residences that are responsive to terrain 
building vernacular  and cultural legacy.
