This 12,000 square foot beachfront house in eastern Long Island maximizes views of the ocean while remaining rooted firmly in the local architectural language of wood and stone. Large open rooms with wide expanses of glass are modern in their sensibility without being overtly contemporary. Two outdoor rooms provide the opportunity to enjoy the ocean breeze, and a double-height entry hall can be opened to the outdoors at both ends with massive sliding glass doors. Bedrooms for a family with four children, along with space for guests, fit comfortably in this house, which is both modern and traditional at the same time.
