Hollyhock was built on four acres near the ocean in Southampton for powerhouse New York commercial real-estate broker Mary Ann Tighe and her husband Dr. David Hidalgo. It is located on the site of a former estate known as Red Maples, a 1908 Italianate villa that was razed in the 1940s. Historic reference abounds at Hollyhock, including a stucco exterior and Mission-tile roof that pay homage to the original estate.
Interior features were inspired by the iconic architecture of David Adler, which architect Michael Dwyer was commissioned to duplicate. The legendary Bunny Williams decorated the interiors with classic chintz, well-bred antiques, and a living room inspired by Pride & Prejudice.The curving staircase was inspired by a David Adler adaptation of a design by John Russell Pope.
The 1920s chairs are covered in a pink Cowtan & Tout fabric, and the Murano chandelier adds a pop of glamour.Custom Peter Fasano blue-and-green-striped fabric for the walls and curtains are paired with romantic floral linen from Lee Jofa for the upholstered bed.
