Elizabeth H Contemporary House Design by Bates Masi Architects

Home » Contemporary House Design » Elizabeth H Contemporary House Design by Bates Masi Architects

Another contemporary home design worth to look is what Bates Masi Architects has designed on Amagansett, New York, USA. The modern house entitled Elizabeth H is specially designed to have the same flexibilaty and range both in its use of space and in its details that would interact with the environment and evolve over time.

A Spanish cedar entrance door, the first object one comes in contact with, is forever changing. This door incorporates a window with a large air space into which small pieces of beach glass are deposited after daily walks on the beach, thus slowly changing the color and intensity of light as the collection increases.

Those distinct materials were selected to span between indoors and out, as well as performed in a diversity of applications. The jatoba floor in the kitchen wraps up the side of the island to double as a countertop. Its natural hardness and water resistant OS Hardwax finish make it equally desirable for both applications.
