Shingle Style

— Lloyd Harbor, NY —

Set along the shores of Long Island Sound, this Shingle-style residence was designed for a young family seeking both the ease of informal living and the generosity to entertain. The house presents a traditional face to the street and unfolds toward the water through a long enfilade of den, breakfast room, kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Oriented to gather southern light and expansive northern views, the sequence culminates in a vaulted loggia overlooking the waters of the pool and Sound, creating a graceful continuum between family life, landscape, and horizon.

The front façade of this Lloyd Harbor waterfront home uses dormers, shutters, a cupola, and a centered entry to create a composed Shingle-style presence. The exterior gives the residence a traditional neighborhood character while the interiors open toward a more contemporary family plan.
