American architectural firm Blaze Makoid Architecture has created the Daniel’s Lane Residence in Sagaponack, New York. This two story contemporary home on Long Island features a clean and simple wood and travertine facade. Large sliding glass walls ensure unobstructed views of the ocean.
According to the architects: “Our work focuses on creating total built environments that are a modern reflection of our clients while striving for a timeless product that remains fresh, exciting and inspiring. The residence Blaze Makoid Architecture created for a father with three children in Sagaponack on the Eastern Shore of Long Island was inspired by the iconic architect Norman Jaffe’s Perlbinder House(1970) and Tod Williams’ Tarlo House (1979) but with his and his firm’s signature of designing residences that have a quiet elegance that are uniquely suited to each client. As in all of Makoid’s work, there is a cohesiveness that unites the architecture with its interiors and the site. The lines between indoors and out blur as they become the greater part of the whole. The second floor is imagined as a travertine and glass ‘drawer’ floating above the glass floor below. Three identical children’s bedrooms run from west to east, setting a rhythm that is punctuated by a master bedroom with balcony that projects from the wall plane. It is clad in the same afromosia wood as the stair landing. The quiet elegance and clean lines of the house are accentuated by the materials that also include poured-in-place concrete floors, Calcutta marble cladding and afromosia millwork.”
