At the beach
From the white-painted wood ceiling to the cabinet
design and the view out the window, this kitchen
recalls traditional Hamptons architecture

Casual, yet sophisticated – that was
the challenging design brief given to the
architect of this new beach house.
Craig Steere of Craig Steere Architects says that on the one hand there was
a call for a relaxed, beach aesthetic, but
there was also a desire for a touch of the
Hamptons.
“The project was all about achieving
a balance between these two ideals,” he
says. “At the same time we had to accommodate a long, narrow site and maximise
the views from all areas of the house.”
