Program: On a two-acre waterfront lot in North Haven, New York, the clients wanted a home that would provide expansive views across Sag Harbor Bay, multiple outdoor spaces for entertaining, and extensive natural light even deep within the structure.
Location: North Haven, New York
Solution: The main entry corridor of the house, which runs perpendicular to the second-floor bedroom wing above it, leads to a 1 ½ story open-air courtyard glazed with 13-foot glass panels. The glass cube opens to a patio, creating an extended outdoor entertaining space. On the second floor, a roof deck and outdoor fireplace form a second living room, which connects to the backyard via hidden stairs. Inside, a sculptural plaster and glass spiral stair rises in front of a double-height window.

ProductsStructural System Steel moment frame system with engineered wood infill. Use of large expanses of glass required that the steel frame be hidden within the narrow wall cavity while providing adequate vertical and lateral resistance to the required load combinations set forth by local building code. Slender tie rods were utilized in select locations to minimize deflections on cantilevers while remaining hidden inside the wall cavity.

Consistency of the color temperature was paramount. Downlights: MR-16 down lights were utilized. These are fully trimless with conical trims and a deep recess of the aperture, providing the least amount of glare. All fixtures are 45-degree adjustable with softening lenses. Tasklighting: For more task-oriented spaces, Orsman Design specified flush LED linear fixtures in order to ensure the ability to adequately brighten the space. High output, dimmability, and again the correct color temperature were crucial. Exterior: The design had a focus on the architecture, plantings and other specific details. Orman Design avoided over lighting, but instead created warmth, intrigue and depth while respecting the scale of the residence in its surroundings. Dimming system or other lighting controls: The Lutron system allows for absolute flexibility. Orsman Design allowed for more circuits per room to give the ability to add more drama through individual light settings. Conveyance Elevators/escalators: N/A Accessibility provisions: N/A Plumbing
