BFB Architect teamed up with interior designer Harry Schnaper, for the renovation of this Hamptons residence that combines both traditional and modern design elements.

“The clients came to us with a simple brief: they wanted big, comfortable rooms and open-plan entertaining spaces,” says Brian Billings, BFB Architect’s founder. “The only hitch was that the husband wanted a traditional shingle-style house while the wife wanted something much more modern.”

The house, meant to be a weekend retreat for a family of four and their steady stream of guests, sits on a long, narrow lot terminating at a tall bluff with expansive views of the North shore of Long Island.
