A study in industrial craft and quiet coastal living.
Located within a private island community on Long Island Sound, this industrial-style beach house draws inspiration from 19th-century New England factories. Exposed steel trusses, spiral ductwork, plank ceilings, and a dramatic catwalk balcony speak to the home’s raw elegance. The defining feature, a pair of 50-foot bifurcated chimneys—anchors the structure and is visible from miles away. Charcoal brick, board-formed concrete, and Shou Sugi Ban cedar create a bold exterior palette.
The client, an avid entertainer and culinary enthusiast, envisioned a home that pairs durability with refined industrial aesthetics. Programmatically, the house centers on hospitality: the kitchen is outfitted with restaurant-grade appliances and multiple workstations to support large-scale gatherings. A two-story wine silo, clad in patinated steel, stores 2,000 bottles and features a rotating ladder and bronze-ringed hoist. The adjacent 3,000-square-foot terrace includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a mechanized pass-through window to facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor service.
The 12,500-square-foot residence accommodates six bedrooms, a theater, game room, gym, steam room, and massage area. A turbine-inspired spiral stair links the primary suite to its wellness spaces below.
The core design goal was to create a home that felt both personal and powerful—eschewing coastal clichés in favor of a factory-inspired language reinterpreted through craftsmanship. Robust materials like concrete and steel are softened by layered textures, warm lighting, and connection to landscape.
Large-scale bronze windows pivot open, dissolving boundaries between inside and out. Bespoke details, like the wine silo, spiral stair, and dual kitchens, reflect the client’s passion for precision and permanence.
More than a beach house, the result is a deeply customized, statement-making retreat: a celebration of material honesty, spatial generosity, and purposeful living.
