This dark and moody pied-a-terre designed by Adam Jordan sits on coveted shoreline overlooking Three Mile Harbor in East Hampton, New York. The dark tones, natural materials, and rich textures are brought out by soft light. The residence is chiefly oriented toward the water, organized around a courtyard that allows views to the water from nearly every point in the house. This connection and bringing out the rich, dark materials were priorities in the documentation of this unique Hampton residence.

Absorbed in the affluence and activity of the Hamptons, Adam Jordan Architecture is located in Water Mill with a portfolio of contextually responsive residences that allow founder Adam Jordan’s clients a countering balance from the bustle of nearby Manhattan. Founded in 2014, the practice links the traditional and rural vernacular through local materiality and craft, to propose homes of resonance; appropriately befitting of their coastal context. Shagwong Residence is one such place, where light and contrast inject a sense of drama and theatre, while still being mindful of a unique natural connection.
