Sound House

This eccentric loft-like home is located on an unusually narrow site on the Long Island Sound. It is designed to take advantage of the spectacular waterfront views while preserving privacy from adjacent properties, complying with strict land coverage and setback requirements, and adhering to FEMA guidelines. An angled entry wall captures the sunlight and orients views while an interplay of solid stained cypress siding and open and screened glass balance privacy and transparency. The living room and master bedroom occupy the volumes with water views while the kitchen and guest bedroom are set within the angled spaces that are oriented to receive morning sun.
