In Sag Harbor, we took on an ambitious project: a large traditional house cleverly designed to embrace the natural slope of the site. This unique setup allowed us to create three fully finished stories, with a basement floor that elegantly opens out to an infinity pool, leading down to private docks. It’s a home where every level invites the outdoors in, blending the boundaries between indoor luxury and the natural beauty of the waterfront.
Inside, the house exudes classic charm and warmth. Fireplaces in key living spaces create cozy gathering points, while wainscoting and paneling add layers of sophisticated detail. The heart of the home is the custom kitchen, tailored for both function and style, ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. Each room is designed to offer stunning water views, creating a serene backdrop to every moment spent indoors.With oak flooring throughout and custom millwork, this house isn't just a dwelling; it's a warm, inviting home. Every inch speaks of quality and care, making it not just a magnificent residence but a true Sag Harbor gem.
"Having a background in real estate development, I tend to have a natural instinct for challenging properties. This made working with BuildLabs was a no brainer, because they are used to tackling complex projects.
For the design, I let the site inspire me. I worked with my architect for the schematic, and then from that point on BuildLabs was able to handle everything until completion. The design-build process was efficient with BuildLabs taking full accountability for the project, cost, and construction that I have not experienced with anyone else. I found great comfort in the BuildLabs team right from the start as I had to manage the project from Palm Beach. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I never left town with their real-time reporting, daily photos, logs, and schedule updates.
I love the open plan and the water views as soon as you enter the house. The level of detail in the coffered ceilings, panel work, and architectural staircase turned out beautifully.
The entire experience was excellent! We developed a friendship during the build that was collaborative, respectful, and transparent. BuildLabs built a beautiful home with care and passion, leaving no stone unturned to receive my recommendation. I am looking forward to working with them again on another project."
