n the heart of the Hamptons, down a
winding driveway lined with thick hedges
sits a house that sets itself apart from the
vernacular of the cedar shingle-style home.
With its gabled roof, stucco walls, and rose-
toned cobblestone courtyard, this home is very
much at ease not speaking the local architectural
language. Welcome to a vision of European style
by way of Mecox Bay.
is project in Water Mill was driven by the
owners' impeccable sense of style and vision.
e wife initially visited the home and thought
it was dreadful, but when she stepped onto the
back patio, the shimmering bay views changed
her mind. She and her husband called upon
architect Brian E. Boyle and the interior design
firm Solis Betancourt & Sherrill to transform
the home into a quietly luxurious retreat
that was casual enough to be inviting for the
sandy feet and wet bathing suits that define
summertime family gatherings. e couple's
travels to France and Italy and their deep
appreciation of European history and antiques
informed the aesthetic.
