Residential
The Greenport Summer Residence connects its owners’ Mediterranean origins with the landscape and climate of Long Island’s North Fork. Familiar architectural types—the atrium, basilica, tower, and cupola—are reinterpreted as parts of a contemporary home, giving cultural memory a spatial expression within a different setting.
01 / Architectural Strategy
Spaces for gathering adopt a more urban architectural character, while family rooms draw on a rural vocabulary. Their relationship gives the residence a varied identity within a coordinated composition.
02 / Spatial Experience and Light
At its intersections with perpendicular axes, vertical connections introduce another dimension to the plan. The stair hall links levels physically, while skylights connect the interiors with light from above.
03 / Landscape and Cultural Expression
Views and the sequence of rooms connect domestic life with the site. The project treats Mediterranean precedents as a source of spatial relationships, adapting them to a Northeastern context through the arrangement of volumes, movement, and light.
