Pretty Little Green Things

Okay, I’ll admit it, my husband and I are totally addicted to the TV show Royal Pains.  I know it’s not the most intelligent show but we love it (and in our defense it could be MUCH worse).  One of the reasons I love it is for the Hamptons setting and the over the top houses.  So it was with great excitement that I found this house in the New York Magazine.  While not as grand as the mansions in Royal Pains, the indoor/outdoor plan is absolutely wonderful and the materials they used are organic and beautiful.  I’d much rather a house like this than a grand mansion any day!

The house was built by the owner’s brother, Paul Masi, of Bates Masi Architects.  You can read the full article from the New York Magazine here.  Enjoy the pictures!

Modern, natural and gorgeous!

Here’s the pool on the east side of the house.  I love that the placement of the pool extends the long line of the house.

Here’s a peek at the landscaping that was planted with native grasses and locally found bluestone.  Gorgeous.

You can see how open this house is to the outside.  I can just imagine the ocean breezes coming through.

This is the master bedroom on the second floor.  It opens to it’s own little terrace/breezeway.

This is the guestroom, which has it’s own entrance (and complete sliding door of course).

The stairs are located at the center of the house so as not to take up valuable exterior real-estate.  They used the same outdoor shading mesh here as they did on the outside.

Here’s the breezeway from the master bedroom.  You can also see the same outdoor mesh that they used on the staircase.
