Stratton Square, East Hampton +
William Beeton and Michael Derrig collaborated on designing and constructing this exceptional residence nestled in the heart of East Hampton Village. The primary objective was to reimagine traditional village living with a refined and accentuated touch. Every detail, from the architecture to the landscaping, was meticulously crafted to achieve a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality.
The house is a testament to timeless design, seamlessly integrating historic charm with modern comforts. Its exterior is adorned with layered hedges and carefully selected trees, not merely as decorations but as elements that form a natural barrier, creating a serene and private sanctuary. This deliberate landscaping choice enhances the aesthetic appeal and contributes to the space’s tranquility.
The plant palette surrounding the house and its outbuilding is intentionally simplified, chosen to complement the historic character of the architecture. This thoughtful selection ensures that the landscape remains in harmony with the property’s traditional charm, enhancing rather than overpowering its inherent beauty.
In addition to its visual appeal, the property features practical elements designed to enrich daily life. Herb and vegetable boxes dot the landscape, providing a ready source of fresh ingredients for seasonal cooking—an invitation to engage with the land and its bounty meaningfully.
Beyond functionality, the property offers ample space for various activities, from quiet reflection to gatherings with loved ones and areas for playful enjoyment. These spaces are strategically designed to encourage a balanced lifestyle, where every corner of the property serves a purpose: relaxation, entertainment, or connection with nature.
Completed in 2015, this residence stands as a testament to the collaborative vision of William Beeton and Michael Derrig, showcasing their dedication to creating a home that honors tradition and embraces contemporary living in an idyllic village setting.
