Seaside Muse
I drew inspiration from Montauk, New York’s wild and salt-weathered coastline, and the casual elegance of Europe’s seaside towns that exude rich color and pattern. I’m an avid surfer and have a strong connection to the area, having designed other projects like the Surf Lodge and Ruschmeyers, and drew on that when designing this space.
Modern Makeover
The bungalow was originally a 1970s ranch house. We opened up the floorplan and overhauled much of the property.
Top Marks
The den is my favorite of all the rooms, with its dramatic rust-colored Domingue finish walls. There is an inviting Moroccan daybed lined with graphic pillows where we love to hang out. The rest of the house has a very clean palette, so this room is a bit of a departure.
Rapid Results
In Montauk, it’s important to be ready for Memorial Day weekend, so we had to push to get everything [done] for guests by then.
