DPAGES – a design publication for lovers of all things cool & beautiful
THE FAMOUS…
light-weight of Extensive Island’s East Conclusion is the standard setting up block of this modern family vacation residence, whose vaulted rooms and abundant home windows had been slipping much brief of their prospective right before Sag Harbor-centered Wintertime McDermott came to the rescue. “Hard to believe, but the residence used to be dark, with incredibly in excess of-scaled home furniture,” recalls Maureen Winter McDermott, the firm’s founder and principal designer, who undertook a partial renovation and all-new furnishings application for a younger household in want of a respite from their frantic New York Metropolis lives. Now, the household, surrounded by native woodlands, exudes a serene radiance, many thanks to the masterful manipulation of that gentle and a staunch motivation to an practically pure white palette. The very first stage was “getting items down to a blank slate,” as the designer places it, which integrated refinishing the present wooden flooring for a pale underlayment, changing occupied fire mantels with simple custom made plaster ones, enlarging the most important bedroom and redoing two baths.
SCULPTURAL…
light fixtures and boldly formed furnishings, many from Italy and Scandinavia, lead to a glance that is anything but cookie-cutter. Anchoring the dwelling room’s temper of casual sophistication is a sensuous, 1970s Gianfranco Frattini Sessan couch, a putting and singularly dark focal position in a encompassing sea of whites. Utrecht chairs from Cassina stand out for their uniquely angled armrests the abnormal carved ash coffee desk is by the French-Brazilian designer Nikolai Lafuge.

Seating consists of Betty eating chairs with woven linen seats from Garde and a caned accent chair by Pierre Jeanneret.
THE DECIDEDLY…
un-dull blend in a windowed corner consists of an egg-formed hanging wicker chair, a walnut and brass custom console desk and a Brutus accent chair of concrete and fiber from Studio Nordhaven that is as a great deal art as furnishings.
WINTER…
McDermott eradicated partitions to integrate room from a tiny-utilized residence business into the principal bedroom. The end result: a commodious space for Tv watching, kitted out with furnishings in pale neutrals and a pure jute rug that keep the glance light-weight.
DISTINCTIVE…
woven wallcovering in the new key bathtub is unexpectedly juxtaposed with the formality of a marble sink.
THE TEXTURE…
story proceeds in the bedrooms, with thickly tufted white wool rugs and a Bloomsbury daybed lined in a nubby bouclé.
IN THE…
skylight shower, shadows participate in on the purely natural irregularities of white-painted brick. “We seriously preferred to build a emotion of serenity and quiet,” the designer claims. With the help of glorious daylight and the indispensable colour white, they did just that.
