Located between Old Montauk Highway and the Atlantic Ocean, this beach house is carefully embedded into the steep, rugged bluff that defines this stretch of coastline. Designed by South African architecture studio SAOTA, the house responds to a desire to preserve the characteristic landscape.

The centerpiece of the space became the staircase—rounded, with smooth, flowing lines. Vilchinskaya Design Bureau designed it as a photo zone: the entire wall, along with the railings of the second level, was clad in mirrors. This solution visually lightened the structure and eliminated unnecessary visual noise.

The growing unaffordability of home ownership in cities has led to the resurgence of models such as rental housing and cooperative apartments. Both models emerged as a response to the long-term unavailability of housing and the high property prices in urban areas. While cooperative apartments offer benefits such as the option to purchase a share.

A contemporary volume of frames which nestles an abode with tweets and chirps. Surrounded in a bustling urban luggage, this 7000 sq.ft. imprint of residence cultivates harmony & grandeur. Since the whole structure opens the flaps of frames to an evident temple, the neutral facade blends in to respect the Shikhara.
