“In renovating multiple interiors of this family home, Workstead celebrated the enduring building and its surrounding landscape. Rooms’ colors and textures draw inspiration from the coastal environment, while ample open space keeps users’ attention focused on outdoor living and multigenerational gatherings. Select elements, such as kitchen cabinets and a bar niche, reference the whalers and plein air painters who once intermingled on Long Island’s South Fork. Antiques and next-generation collectibles meld the homeowner’s respect for the past with the desire for contemporary expression.”

Respect for the past and an understanding of contemporary living. It’s a heady experience when the designers get it just right. Atmospheric, inviting, intriguing yet comforting. Hook Pond Residence in East Hampton, NY by Workstead.
