House at Ninevah Beach

SAG HARBOR, NEW YORK

This residence has its roots in the African-American tradition of Sag harbor, New York and its soul in the contemporary California beachfront towns located on the Pacific coast Highway. Set upon the highest elevation in the town, this beachfront home projects out over the bluff like a perched animal ready to spring forward toward Long Island Sound. Its slightly angled yet continuous roof, reinforced by its four and one half foot overhang, gently moves upward and outward toward the water, creating an ever-present relationship with the sea..
