East Hampton shingle-style saltbox festooned with hydrangeas.

In one family’s Long Island compound, where two hallmarks of Hamptons architecture stand side by side – a 19th-century Shingle Style saltbox festooned with hydrangeas (they call it the farmhouse) and its super-modern foil, heavy on the glass-classic meets contemporary.

For this project, @nealbeckstedt recalls “the client wanted something that was understated and livable-not stuffy. A new approach to the Hamptons.” And most importantly, “they were not afraid of color.”
