There are few places in the United States that have experienced as many
waves of American modernism as Long Island's East End, long known as a
haven for the wealthy and glamorous. In Hamptons Modern, author David
Sokol explores the latest architectural experiments taking place in New
York's legendary summer retreat. With contemporary design increasingly
favored in the region, the eighteen residences featured here reflect
modernism's spread across both forks (and as far west as Bellport, which
has become a cultural gateway to the Hamptons).
Yet perhaps more important, these houses
represent a shift away from the image of conspicuously sprawling
properties for the elite; these projects return to modernism's founding
principles, shun Instagrammable spectacle, and steward the East End's
increasingly fragile landscape.
