bridge house/studio
project: Sagaponac House location: Sagaponac, NY client: The Brown Companies, Inc. size: 3.500 s.f. contact: The Brown Companies, Inc. Our design for the development in Sagaponac, New York, is a three or four bedroom courtyard house that emphasizes transparency and a connection to the site at the lower level. The house is 3,400 square feet with one bedroom that is entered as a separate suite. hMa was recently contacted by Richard Reinhardt, who took over the Houses at Sagaponac Development, and asked to revisit their design for the original development. hMa's new house design is a modernist glass box poised on top of an artificial 'ground plane' (the lower level of the house housing the bedrooms, garage, and swimming pool). hMa's house design is scheduled for construction in 2009. About the Houses at Sagaponac project (http://www.housesatsagaponac.com/) : "Houses at Sagaponac is an acclaimed development by the late Harry J. Brown with the assistance of Richard Meier. The project features 34 summer houses designed by internationally recognized architects to acheive design excellence on a modest budget and scale, leading to a community by and for thinking people. The houses represent an appreciation of artistic vision and sensiblity, challenging the current standards of gradiosity and repetition."
American Dream: Houses at Sagaponac was published by Rizzoli NY in 2003.
