Article source: Blaze Makoid Architecture Designed by Blaze Makoid Architecture, Ferry Road is a 7,500 square foot home on a two acre, waterfront lot in North Haven. The goal was to create a design that would take full advantage of the views across Sag Harbor to the southeast, while drawing late day sun through the house and onto multiple outdoor entertaining spaces as long as possible.

Entry to the house is gained by passing under a second-floor bedroom wing – the ceremonial ‘threshold’ – into an open air courtyard, at which point the first views through a 1 ½ story glass great room reveal the patio spaces, pool and the harbor beyond.

The covered outdoor living room, replete with a television, heater and fireplace for a chilly evening, allows for late day/early evening sunsets without interrupting views from any second-floor spaces. Multiple seating and dining areas create numerous options for enjoying the home at different times of the day.

For privacy and to allow natural light inside, Blaze Makoid Architecture employed slats of rich teak over some of the windows for a screened effect, playing with the spacing of the louvers, allowing the outside to be seen from inside, but not vice versa. The screens create a beautiful effect indoors, with soft light bouncing off the walls.

He selected limestone with a matte powdered finish, rather than a veined look. The limestone was sliced and laminated repeatedly, allowing for a flexible material which exceeds the area’s hurricane codes. The 8 bedroom, eight and a half bath house includes a gym, office, family room and multiple outdoor spaces and is clad in a combination of limestone panels, mahogany and glass.
