Inside a Magical Holiday Home Like No Other (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
Unlike many coastal homes, East Hampton Modern by Workshop/APD is not defined by its proximity to the beach or sweeping ocean views. Rather, this Hamptons home finds its grounding in an agricultural setting, where abundant wildflowers and swathes of farmland set the bucolic tone.
The client - a New York City-based executive - spent many years holidaying in the preceding home on the property. Having outgrown the residence, he approached Workshop/APD to design a larger home that would not only embrace the surrounding landscape but house friends from New York City and family for weekends and overnight stays. “We started to think about how you develop a house like that, and that’s what brought together this idea of a contained main house with a separate two-bedroom guesthouse all under one roof,” says founding principal Matthew Berman.
The resulting architecture is defined by a series of gabled forms that stretch across the site with an internal courtyard. Clad entirely in shou sugi ban charred timber with a black, standing seam metal roof, the materials and the design reference the barn-like vernacular typical to the area through a bold, contemporary lens. Located at the end of a winding driveway - which contributes to the feeling of a respite from the hubbub of nearby East Hampton village - the home is immediately captivating in this leafy setting.
Though the architecture and overall built form play a heavy hand in this home’s identity, so too does the landscaping. Conceived by Abby Clough Lawless of Farm Landscape Design, wildflowers and natural grasses envelop the home. As the architect Matthew comments, this unruliness is what sets the home apart. “Abby has created an amazing wonderland,” he says, adding that the planting comes “right up to the coping of the pool so you really feel like this home is set in a natural environment that, frankly, has been very untouched or unmanicured in a way that [differs from] a lot of other properties in the area.”
The house tour shows the arrival sequence, which brings guests into a central, covered breezeway separating the main house to the right and the guesthouse to the left. Directly ahead is the pool and garden that unfurl from the timber deck, drawing visitors deeper into the property. “When you walk into this space, you’re underneath this amazing umbrella of a roof - it really contains you but you’re still outside,” explains Matthew.
Stepping inside, guests are greeted by an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Fully glazed walls capture views and the interior design and decor echo the exterior. The kitchen anchors the space, and the powder room, primary bedroom and bathroom are all located deeper into the plan with sophisticated decor. Lastly, a private outdoor shower sits at the tip of the house where a small opening in the full-height timber walls frames a charming vignette of the farmland.
One of this home’s most consistent threads is its distinct connection to landscape. Not only has it been conceived as a response to its context, it effortlessly embraces the site’s natural condition.

Living on Long Island and familiar with typical Hamptons new builds, this is a breath of fresh air. Kudos to Abby Lawless, the landscape designer who is open to transforming the landscape to support the wildlife and the natural landscape.

Can we appreciate that for once, a rich American did not destroy their garden by cutting the grass and actually create a good ecological one? That’s really great! Very nice house.

One Caveat...While appreciating the natural landscape, and overlapping grass into the pool area...I can't help but not thinking about the trillion little vampire ticks waiting to cause misery to whomever they bite. Unfortunately, that is the reality in the NE, especially the coastal communities like East Hampton and Montauk.
The purity of simply watching this video😩 The house, the way the video was made, the environment, it's all just so pleasant
Not normally a fan of the "all black modern farmhouse" look but man, this one is brilliant! Well designed, decorated, edited and narrated. Excellent house, site and video. Bravo!

Agreed. I think the gorgeous nature surrounding the home helps with the all black look
This house does justice to the beauty of the outside that comes inside through the modern architecture. Modern living in harmony with the natural background. It’s well thought and even better executed. It really feels zen!
Shout out to the beautiful shot at 2:21. Also the simplicity of the pool as a natural extension of the breezeway is just gorgeous.
The artistic cohesion between the design team Architect and Builder is just impeccable!
I love every TLP fearured project. But man this one... this one stands apart. It is the most resonable, clean, practical, mindful yet BEAUTIFUL piece of architecture. Love the landscaping too. Oh my gosh. This house is posh.
Can I move in, please? Love this house and the area. So refreshingly different than all the other new builds out there. The landscaping fits so well
This is a spectacular house, in & out, with a magical landscape. Great job from the architecte and the client who embraced the designer’s vision.
What a luxury to iterate a home and landscape design to utter perfection ... That is all.
Beautiful house but for me it’s the garden and the pool………… Truly magical 💙💚🩵
Stunning house! I can see myself living here very comfortably and happily.
I love the pool concept. It seems so peaceful
I could live here year-round, without an issue.x beautiful.x
the grass added millions to the house value
That landscaping is awesome!
Holy Smokes... That's really beautiful! I can feel the breeze, that welcomes you, as you enter that house! You outdid yourself!
one of the best TLP showcases in a while, what a nice house!
Spectacular! At last a backyard that looks like a meadow with grass and wild flowers. Beautiful house!
that pool with the garden around it was all i needed to see to hit Like. damn
What a spectacular place in a beautiful setting. I could easily live there. Great job. I just love the Local Project. Your production values and quality are second to none on the Internet. Please keep-up the good work.
This feels so … lush? I love it.
Everything about this - inside and out - is stunning.
Exceptional! Serene, elegant, it is timeless.
A very beautiful vision.....exquisitely executed! bravo
It's a nice house but can we have more inside picture and less blabla?
An incredibly beautiful and appropriate home that is completely in harmony with nature.
Absolutely stunning, one of my favourites on this channel. I love the wild garden, really adds to the texture of the home. Well done the whole team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow imagine how glorious this looks in Autumn 🍁🍁🍁
My favorite homes are the ones that bring the outside in and this one does it seemlessly. What a tranquil place in the heart of nature. Not over the top either, every space is practical and utilized. And the black! I’ve been using black in my interior for many years, I’m happy the rest of the world is catching on to its rich beauty. Bravo!
Wow! This is such a gorgeous piece of architecture. The relationship between the landscape and the Shou Sugi siding creates a balance that isn't overwhelming. This home really works with the fields surrounding it while not taking away from the natural beauty. Well done to all of the people who worked on this project! Thank you Local Project for this delightful showcase!
Stunning 🤩 To be able to stay here during all the seasons would be amazing
stunning -- passion project -- so seamless & cool calm & collected -- the landscaping is star!
I was expecting to like the "style" of this modern home, but definitely not expecting to love it! Especially when I saw that it was set in the "Hamptons", where only the super rich snobs can go and/or live. But somehow this home's humble, approachable presence and natural raw beauty comes across as very welcoming, without a care for a guest's financial or social status. Of course the materials and finishes are premium, and in some cases rare, but they're not vulgar or too obvious. To the architect, designer, landscaper, and homeowner: Thank you for the thoughtful design and sharing your beautiful home with the rest of us mere mortals!
One of the best houses of Local Project, this is another level.
Brilliant architect! Amazing architecture! Thank you Matt for sharing your vision!
Very easy on the Eye , and the house is Magnificent
A truly wonderful design.
This is some unreal landscape design right here
This project made me smile. It is top notch
Brilliant, Beautiful just sooooo wow. Love the vibes of the natural space and the inside - outside living and the incredible landscape is just so good. Thank you for sharing.
Love the sawtooth roofline. I’m sure at certain times of day the house just disappears into the background. Well done Workshop/APD!
Well!... As a Mid Century Modernist, a MCM design specialist, and a MCM preservationist I usually feel that new-build contemporary homes often pale in comparison to the glittering heights achieved by the modern masters of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. However, this contemporary home is truly stunning!... Inspired in its conception and elegantly executed: a contemporary take on Modernism ripe with a seamless connection to its environment and a celebratory sense of place! WOW! Wonderful!... and that says a lot coming from an architecture snob like me who abhors the "clean-lined", stark and boxy mansions of recent years. Congratulations on a true work of architectural art! William Cody is smiling today. All the very best, Daniel Krog
Una casa poco común, hermosa en su concepto y composición.
This house is strangely beautiful.
Beautiful home and fantastic narration and detailed description. It’s a miracle when the finances, design & architecture, and construction all come together to create….
I'm not always a big fan of the USA-houses of The Local Project, I usually like the New Zealand houses better, but this was just stunning! Both the architecture and interior design of the house itself and how it sat in its natural environmnet is amazing. Not cutting the grass and letting wildflowers blossom is great for the local ecology. It makes me happy to see at least one American not ruining the garden with a lawn (yawn).
The house looks perfect😊
What a treat. Excellent design and build.
Nice very cool absolutely beautiful looks like a dream very welcoming.
I think it's a really nice open plan . That would be a nice investment.
Finally an architect that deadlifts! haha. Amazing house!

Right! Hahaha no shade to other architects but the discipline of strength training develops a different kind of character and you can feel that through the vision of this project. 🤌🏻 it sets this architect apart from others within his craft, in a good way, I think.
Love this house, the contrast of the black against the green of the grass and trees pops in such a beautiful way. On a side note, the bots really are fast on a channel that has nothing to do with "thirst" 😒, are they on the prowl for dudes with houses?
stunning home!
It's so cool to hear how much passion and pride the principal has for this project, designing at this level. It gives genuine. Serious enquiry, how does one manage wild grass overtime? The length in these shots is great, but they will need to trim it back eventually, I'm sure? I love the soft look of it, but I've let grass grow out long like that before, and mowing it was quite the project 😅 but it does give off that free, unmanicured, pure, and joyous, flowy flair.
Word of the day: Incredible.
An architect that talks like a real human? Wow!
Absolutely stunning 🎉🎉🎉
Well now..... This is stunning.
absolutely beautiful
This is a really nice one! Amazing work as always.
I really like a build this special to be timeless and I really feel they have achieved this.
It's a very sleek house. Pitches roofs kind of hint at countryside but interiors are very modern and sophisticated, more reminiscent of some posh suburb next to a big city.
Stunning ❤
I usually prefer swimming pools that look more organic and are not straight and square. Planting wildflowers around this one really softens the straight lines. It's a good compromise.

I actually prefer rectangular pools because it is easier to swim in them without worrying. Curved or organically shaped pools, not so much. But yes, I get what you were saying. It was all clean and very well maintained in the video at least. Where I live, I have seen my clients destroy these pools by keeling them unclean and letting leaves and what not fall or get collected in them. Sometimes there are insects too, ruining the pool. But we'll, pool is only for those who really care, and not for the sake of aesthetics. If one can maintain the pools, perfect for them.

@@justmefive20rs98that thought always occurs to me too. And I did some research, and apparently there are ways to avoid them from entering your garden. So, hopefully no snake attack in this pool. XD
Eugene- the film coverage was excellent both in dialog as well as sharing a broad amount of interior footage, right down to that cool closeup of the floor rug weave..beautiful shots of the acreage, driveway & landscaping. Even had a good look at the vintage Chevy Blazer. One of my lessons about my own perceptions is simply different strokes for different folks..also keeping in mind aspects we may not be privy to..such as what level of privacy the owners want protected. For instance leveling the lens upon book titles, inside fridge, or intimate this or that .
Beautiful Space
Lovely!
If "the grass is always greener" was an actual place
Pretty cool home. With my allergies, i'd die :) . But it is a really wonderful home.
This is truly beautiful!
Beautiful. I love the outside wild garden meeting the pool. I personally do not like the black that is throughout as it is far too harsh for me and cold. But its beautiful.
Love everything about this! 😍
The b-roll of the NYC housing blocks used to communicate the class of people that vacation in the Hamptons was comical
Well planned. Well design. The kitchen is my favorite.
Damn, i wont leave the house.
Super chic
love hous style ❤🎉
Ingenious
Inspired!
I love it ❤
Райское местечко ❤!
Mashaallah ❤️
Looks really cool but you need and this will eventually happen if they are practical, some separation between the grass and the pool.
Take a shot everytime they showed a shot of the pool...
Aside from all the beauty from the architecture and spectacular filming, I am also wondering about the music. Does anyone know where to find it so I can put it in my list for relaxation?
love the gingkos
The meadow is stunning, kudos to the lanscaper. The house design is beautiful but the interior and exterior has too much black in my opinion and would have benefitted by some warm wood throughout. I would hesitate building anything on long island these days with the rise of the sea level a constant threat. Overall, great project.
Nice truck.
First thought: Incredible house - Second thought: There are so many mice in the tall grass and soon in that house :D
Interesting
Surrounded by cool farm machinery that pesseants use.
yes
Nice video and description. Lovely house. Could you tell me the name of the bird that appears in the video that seems like a kind of kiwi please?
I love this so much but given the location I would be so worried about tics and getting Lyme disease
