Sag Harbor Residence +
The house, meticulously constructed by Michael Derrig and architecturally designed by William Beeton, beautifully embodies the rich traditions and distinctive charm of Sag Harbor Village’s esteemed historic district. A thoughtful addition, a separate entrance to the cottage, was incorporated to ensure the comfort and privacy of guests, seamlessly blending functionality with architectural finesse.
Notably, the property features a notable elevation change towards the rear, necessitating a skillfully crafted fieldstone retaining wall and strategically placed architectural slopes. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the landscape but also serve to harmonize and optimize the use of space.
Positioned as a focal point, the pool is a central oasis, perfectly nestled between the main house and the cottage. To enhance connectivity and visual flow, imposing monolith steps were artfully integrated, establishing a clear and satisfying axis that gracefully connects the three principal built elements and spans across the entirety of the property. This thoughtful design approach not only ensures functional coherence but also elevates the overall architectural integrity of the estate, creating a harmonious blend of history, tradition, and contemporary living.
