This is a modern home design but still carry the rural atmosphere in structuring the environment. Kowalewski Residence designed by Belmont Freeman Architects in Atlantic Beach, New York. Kowalewski’s residence is a clear attempt to insert a modern house in the village context in a way that respects the scale and architectural traditions of the community. The house is not good or a lot of bulk to maximize the coverage allowed by zoning. It is oriented with a narrow face – only slightly wider than the home of former parking lot – into the street, with traditional side driveway and rear garage.
The ground floor has an open plan for living a relaxed and maximum connection to the outdoors. The second floor hallway with skylights continue to cause four bedrooms and three bathrooms. A sun room / guest suite on the third floor opens onto a large roof terrace with panoramic views of the island and the ocean. The structure is steel, with light-gauge metal framed floors and walls and energy-efficient EIS envelope. Principal exterior materials are stucco, black slate, stainless steel and glass. The steel and wood stair floats in a tower glazed in shingled panels of frosted glass, like an over-scaled jalousie window.
