Barbara and Julian Neski, once architects for Marcel Breuer, transformed their design philosophy after Barbara's dismissal during pregnancy. In the 1960s and beyond, they crafted about 25 distinctive weekend retreats in the Hamptons. Their notable architectures include an L-shaped house in Amagansett that rises above the landscape, blending natural elements with modern living. The interiors focus on openness and views through large windows, promoting a sense of freedom and playfulness, as highlighted by nearby critic David Sokol, who captures the spirit of relaxation inherent in their designs.
"It's signaling to you to let your hair down," said David Sokol, the author of Hamptons Modern. "It's acknowledging that the weekend started, and it's time to reconnect with a bit more of the inner child."
The cantilevered, L-shaped house seems to glide into the woods, like a yacht. A wide deck that wraps around the back is around 900 square feet, enough room for each of three bedrooms to have its own private balcony.
