Sag Harbor Residence, NY
The clients for this 3000 sqft residence requested that the design take into consideration not only the wonderful views of Sag Harbor but address the idea of casual living with minimal discrimination between inside and outside. At the kick off design meeting they said “Build the future into the house.” The site is a southerly facing 1.3 acre flat lot on a modestly developed street whose rear yard is bulk-headed to the Sag Harbor Channel.
The Ziggurat form of the structure was a response to the local pyramid set back codes. In the rear, the plan unfolds in a “U” shape to define an outdoor courtyard and increase view exposures. A front garden wall defines a private area for the master bedroom suites. The program includes: 1st floor open living areas and master bedroom suites; 2nd floor guest rooms (cabins) and tv viewing room.
The third floor becomes a widows watch (map room). All roofs are established to be green and accessible to increase available outdoor areas, and also to improve the homes energy efficiency. A pre-existing garage in non-conformity to zoning codes was allowed to remain and incorporated into the design. We created a glazed-over breezeway between the existing garage and new structure. The garage was rehabilitated into a mechanical, laundry room and cabin bath. Lastly, the breezeway allows for the direct access to the rear patios without passing through the house.
In the back, an overhead canopy creates the feeling of an outdoor room while providing shade for the rear patio and rear facade and a platform for a 7.2 kw P.V. solar system.
Other sustainable systems used are a geothermal heat and cooling and hot water solar pool heater. Open and closed cell insulation, use of steel and reclaimed beam for structure and no/low maintenance materials as well as LED lighting and other Energy Star rated efficient appliances were incorporated. Interior finishes: marine grade FCS plywood was used for ceilings and walls.
Furthermore, electrically operable windows in clerestory’s and widows watch are utilized to draft and naturally ventilate the home. The southern overhand and shade canopy w/ minimum use of west windows has minimized the need for use of AC except for extremely hot and humid conditions. As a result the first three months of use the owner’s bills were $20 – $30 per month.
An infinity edge pool adjacent to the rear patio gives the illusion that the house connects to the Harbor. The pool also reflects sunlight into the ceiling of the living space.
What are the sustainability features?
We used sustainable systems such as geothermal. heating and cooling and a hot water solar pool heater. Furthermore, electrically operable windows in clerestory’s and widow’s watch are utilized to draft and naturally ventilate the home. The southern overhang and shade canopy w/ minimum use of west windows has minimized the need for use of AC except for extremely hot and humid conditions. As a result the first three months of use the owner’s bills were $20 – $30 per month.
The project was awarded the 2012 AIA Long Island Archi Award for Sustainable Architecture.
