A Timeless Transitional

Masterpiece

Nestled on a spacious double lot, this property began its transformation with the demolition of an old house, following thorough asbestos mitigation. Capitalizing on the unique topography of the land, the design includes a full-height windowed basement, complete with accessible doors, blending seamlessly with the outdoors. Spanning three stories, this residence is a testament to customized elegance, featuring bespoke windows and doors that bathe each room in natural light. The home is a harmonious blend of high-end millwork and transitional interior finishes, embodying both modern luxury and timeless charm.

At the heart of leisure and entertainment is the pool cabana. This enchanting space, designed to delight, includes a cozy seating area, TVs, a warm fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchenette. It’s more than just a space; it’s an experience in itself. This home is not just a structure but a living narrative of timeless design and luxurious living, designed to evolve gracefully through the years.

The Client’s Home Story

"Prior to our purchase, we rented in Sag Harbor for the summer - the community, proximity to town, and year round services factored into our decision. We knew this was the area we wanted to be in and began searching for a design-build firm that we could trust.

The quality of the build offered by BuildLabs and given our home would be factory built had great appeal to us, however, at the time we were unique in that we were going to be their first project in the U.S. that was factory built. To help address some of our early concerns, BuildLabs hosted us in Germany and showed us many homes in various states of completion. We were blown away by difference in quality, even walking through homes that were 15-20 years old.

When we returned, we sat with BuildLabs’ architects and our project manager in their design lab with our overarching design concepts… starting with a blank sheet of paper. We started thinking of a modern box concept, but through the conversation, and as they listened to our vision for the home, they helped us  transition our design concept to a modern farmhouse.

BuildLabs was able to accommodate all of our design concepts – we have high ceilings on all levels, and a walkout lower level. We used lots of natural wood and stone and a neutral color palette. We also worked with the team to build a pool cabana which is where we spend most of our time. We’re very happy with the end product! The solid construction of the home is very quiet from outside noise and equally quiet from room to room."
