Sumario:In one of the country's most fashionable vacation spots, the Hamptons, on New York's Long Island, developer Harry Coco Brown has completed the first home of his development, Houses at Sagaponac, and placed it on the market. The building is one of 34 modern, architecturally distinctive vacation homes designed by well-known architects. The home's architects, sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri, designed the four-bedroom, wood-framed structure in a Modernist style. A cantilevered ramp leads to two elevated rectangular volumes with grayish cedar siding that form an L-shape around a large swimming pool. Three other houses under construction are due to be finished by the end of the year. Another, by Shigeru Ban, will be surrounded by a small forest of 12-foot-high bamboo, and is distinguished by structural supports that are made from cabinets, bookcases, and other furniture.
