This john pawson-designed house in long island exemplifies his recognized minimalist aesthetic. Named the ‘montauk house’, away from the ocean and  property faces the atlantic ocean and towards a small valley running along the west side of the plot.The building form flexes to follow this topographical line, allowing the lower deck to engage naturally with the flow of the dune. 

The material palette reinforces the intimacy of the relationship between architecture and context, with walls finished in sandy render. Using light, space and materials, the architecture instills precision with its clean lines, refined finishes all the while blending with its surroundings.

A distinctive feature of the structure is the series of pristine vertical planes that rise from the upper deck, forming Spaces and views,each one framing the space and views, while providing counterpoint to the structure’s low horizontal mass.
