Located on Fire Island, NY, this 1,440 sq. ft. compact home from Bates Masi Architects, is a two level ‘tree house’, as the owner likes to call it, situated in a beautiful dense grove of pines and hollies with large glass openings overlooking the bay from the second level.
The house is structured like a wooden box, where the blank east and west walls offer privacy from close proximity public walkway and neighbors.
The first floor includes two guest bedrooms, bath and guest deck. A steel stair leads to the second floor where the living, dining, kitchen and master suite are located.
I love the way the rough cut cypress decorates the exterior and interior wall surfaces and cabinets, beautifully combined with the bleached oak flooring and the exposed fir ceiling.
