Located on Manhasset Bay in Long Island, this house is designed to maximize the views to the west across the water, especially the sunsets, which are cherished by the owner. After a fire destroyed the existing home, Michielli + Wyetzner Architects redesigned this house on the North Shore with an income-producing tenant apartment on the ground floor and an owner’s two story residence above. A wall of hurricane-resistant glass encloses the double-height living room and adjacent dining and kitchen area.  An open, sculptural fireplace is a focal point of the interior.
Above is a master bedroom suite with the master bath overlooking the two-story volume and sharing the vista across the water. An automatic overhead glass door protects an enclosed porch from the elements in inclement weather. Located off the master bedroom, this indoor/ outdoor space provides a refuge with tremendous vistas year round.
