Guest blogger  Jane Jagger is no stranger to LI architect Andrew Geller's work.  Having restored a Geller-designed home with her husband, Steven, in Huntington Bay, NY, Jagger was gracious enough to photograph Geller's Westhampton gem for me-- the Pearlroth house. While celebrating the release of a new book by Jake Gorst,  Andrew Geller: Deconstructed, Jagger captured the angles and geometry of this iconic beach house.  As luck would have it, Bouler Pfluger Architects has been commissioned to design a beach house right next door. Certainly Dune Road has changed since Geller designed this pure, minimal geometric design; however the spirited architecture remains a tradition.

Dune Road Update

James went out to Dune Road in Westhampton for a site visit. With the exterior almost complete, the sheet rock in place, and flooring underfoot, this weekend residence looks as if it will be up and running in time for a Memorial Day cookout.

Westhampton Update

James went out to Westhampton's Dune Road for a site visit and found the framing on the project just about complete. Pulling in shingle-style details, this weekend house looks right at home along the beach.

Westhampton's Dune Road

One of the most noteable waterfront addresses has to be Dune Road in Westhampton, NY. With the Atlantic on one side and the bay on the other, its connection to the landscape is breathtaking, but it's without the pretentions of some of the other Hamptons. Bouler Architecture designed this weekend residence with that relaxed air in mind.
