Article source: Elmslie Osler Architect An existing cedar singled ranch house from the sixties, set on a hill overlooking Shinnecock Bay was completely renovated to extend and connect the residence to the site. The exterior has been transformed by sheathing the house in cement board panels and integrating a lap pool into the master plan. The plan, section, elevations and material applications all serve the house’s relationship with its dramatic surroundings.  Image Courtesy © EOA/Elmslie Osler Architect

The fusion of inside and outside is emphasized through continuity of materials; the chimney that runs through the entire house is encased in the same cement board used on the exterior façade; horizontally the connection is made by continuing tile from the kitchen floor onto the exterior terrace.

Exposed trusses slip over structure, tying the front to the back and vertically expanding the interior space. The house embraces the landscape by dematerializing the line between the inside and outside, enriching the experience of the site. The Alexander Residence has received a Design Award of Honor from the New York Council Society of Registered Architects.
