The sprawling home, built by All Seasons, is currently on the market for $10.995 million with Frank and Dawn Bodenchak of Sotheby’s International Realty.
Textural furnishings and rugs, sculptures, and ancient artifacts energize a beach-inspired, neutral palette in the great room, where designer Mar Silver installed wood paneling on the fireplace wall (originally intended to hold a television) to break up the vast white space. “It’s important to bring some spirit and soul into a newly constructed home,” she says. “I wanted it to feel casual, sophisticated, and eclectic.”
A hulking panel of South American louro preto wood makes a statement in Mar Silver’s great room.
“You’re immediately stimulated upon walking in,” says Michael Del Piero of the dining room she conceived with business partner Lukas Machnik. “Each element is tactile and makes you want to reach out and touch it.” Highlights include a set of 19th-century European worktables, a two-tier candlelit chandelier, and a large-scale monochrome artwork by Machnik.
In the dining room, a chandelier designed by Michael Del Piero hangs above a pair of 19th-century worktables; the wing chair is covered in a Fabricut linen.
Art advisor and decorator Betty Wasserman selected canvases by Anne Raymond, photography from Robin Rice Gallery, and a Joel Perlman sculpture to complement her muted color palette. She also plastered one wall in an iridescent pale gray “to provide depth,” she says. “At night, with the glow of the lamps, it has a sense of movement.”
The living room features a sofa, swivel chair, and cocktail table from Dennis Miller Associates, a pair of Jens Risom chairs from Ralph Pucci International, and a rug from Odegard Carpets.
East Hampton–based artist and designer Elizabeth Dow’s monochromatic scheme incorporates various artisanal touches, such as handmade ceramics, her own Memory of a Perfect Day oil painting, and light fixtures by Manhattan-based Apparatus.

In keeping with the home’s streamlined millwork, Gary Ciuffo designed what he describes as a “modern barn kitchen,” with custom flat-white cabinetry and matte-black pulls from Top Knobs. The hood and 10-foot-long island feature brushed-stainless-steel accents. “There is a lot of open space in this house and minimal detailing,” says Ciuffo, “so less is more in this kitchen.”
Designer and Holiday House founder Iris Dankner created a “zen-like” wellness room that includes indoor and outdoor meditation areas, and an adjacent healing space dedicated to CBD use that’s enveloped—appropriately enough—in a marijuana-print wallpaper. Dankner also selected soothing artworks from Christopher Martin Gallery to lend interest to the walls.
The wellness room also holds walnut fitness equipment from Nohrd. Beverages in the Wellness Room are kept cold thanks to True Residential’s beverage center, provided by AJ Madison.

Melanie Roy describes her “beachy and glamorous” solarium as “the ideal gathering place to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset.” To amplify the natural light, she opted for furnishings and accessories with reflective surfaces, such as a glass-rod chandelier, a large rock sculpture from the Phillips Collection, and Ron Dier–designed white crystal sconces.
The solarium is outfitted with a sinuous sectional from English Country Home, Ethan chairs from Bungalow 5, and an acrylic coffee table from Interlude Home. The solarium also features products from True Residential, provided by AJ Madison.
Sophistication meets comfort in Barbara Ostrom’s theater, which is themed “Night at the Oscars.” In lieu of traditional theater seating, the New Jersey–based decorator opted for sofas and chaise longues from Century Furniture “for curling up on,” she says. A bold, abstract blue-and-silver Phillip Jeffries wall covering and a ceiling mural depicting Marilyn Monroe make the space larger than life.
Hiframe’s Razor Frameless mirror conceals a television from Intech Audio Video, which also provided technical equipment and hidden acoustic panels for the theater, where Stark rugs and colorful fabrics from Jab Anstoetz lend dramatic appeal.
Designer Tamara Fraser conceived two distinct areas in the recreation room. One side is for activities—complete with a pool table and a glass, stainless-steel, and marble games table—whereas the opposite is kitted out for relaxing with furniture from the Bright Group. “It’s a comfortable space for a family to enjoy sporting events together,” says Fraser, “or simply just hang out.”
The recreation room is furnished with a custom Blatt Billiards pool table, a wooden mobile from R. E. Steele, and seating pieces including Tao chairs and a Sternum chaise from Hellman-Chang. Cowtan & Tout’s Stingray wall covering surrounds the fireplace.
A little bit Hamptons and a little bit Palm Beach, this bedroom nods to popular South Florida motifs, “but with an unexpected color twist of soft hues,” says designer Amy Hill , who chose a lavender, blue, and gray tropical print from Thibaut for the Emerson Bentley bed. Vintage finds culled from antiques stores in Palm Beach and Kennebunkport, Maine, complete the look.
A Murano glass chandelier from Ferguson hangs in this bedroom, which features a Kravet grasscloth on the walls, curtains made from a Fabricut silk, and a rug from the Carpetman.
Artwork by Forward Contemporary gallery owner Jeffrey Terreson is on view throughout Holiday House Hamptons, including Someone We Know, a nod to the loved ones the artist has lost to breast cancer, and Restore, an oil on wood panel in the wine cellar (above). “It’s great to decorate walls with beauty,” he says, “but when you can combine that with purpose, then it’s harmony.”
The Gaggenau wine fridges are from the German Kitchen Center.
Patrik Lönn channeled the “architectural elements and minimalism” of Hubert de Givenchy’s fashion designs when conceiving his tailored, luxurious men’s study for the modern “Givenchy gentleman.” In addition to clean-lined furniture of his own design, Lönn incorporated pieces from BDDW and Bernd Goeckler along with Phillip Jeffries’s silk wall covering Blossom.
Archival pigment prints by Todd Hido and Marjan Teeuwen loom large in the study, which is anchored by an ample sectional covered in a Dedar fabric. The pillows are made with Fortuny textiles and Samuel & Sons trim; the table lamps are from High Style Deco.
Elizabeth Pash designed this bedroom to honor a childhood friend who died of breast cancer. To evoke feelings of “restfulness and calm,” she opted for a subtle beach theme, incorporating a rope-covered canopy bed and a faux-coral chandelier, both of which complement walls covered in a handsome Cowtan & Tout grasscloth.
The canopy bed is from Palecek and the rattan armchairs are from Harbinger New York.
Dubbed “Her Sanctuary,” this spa-like space is “a spot for a few girlfriends to unwind and powwow after a day at the beach,” says interior designer Barbara Lewis, who transformed the walk-in closet into a massage room. “Although the house is modern, this space is very feminine and pretty. I wanted to stay true to my style.”
The relaxation room is furnished with a Charles Stewart sofa and chairs, a pair of screens featuring a chinoiserie print from Schumacher, and decorative metal palm trees from designer Barbara Lewis’s own collection.
So much of our time is spent in the bedroom, and I wanted to create a dreamy sanctuary,” says Brooklyn-based designer Cara Woodhouse.

Cara Woodhouse’s bedroom features a Dune dresser, a Fernando Mastrangelo side table, and a Christopher Boots chandelier.
“Something borrowed, something blue” is the underlying theme of this bedroom, which features a blue-and-white-check bed from Hästens and a wedding dress by Ines Di Santo. “I imagine a bride getting ready for her wedding here,” says designer Björn Björnsson. “I wanted the room to feel light, cheerful, and elegant.”
Björn Björnsson added stripes to the walls in a variety of Sherwin-Williams paints. The light fixture, mirror, and side chair are from Julian Chichester; the bed linens are from Fabricut.
Thermon Designs founders Laura Nigro and Maria Pyrros created two distinctly unique bathrooms off the master bedroom: “His” is infused with chocolate-brown components, such as a mohair ottoman and Élitis’s Big Croco wall covering, and “Hers” features blush-pink draperies and a high-gloss ceiling. “We aimed to make a statement and be a little bold,” Nigro says.<br? The black-and-white photographs from Bob Tabor’s “Splash” series punctuate “Her” bathroom.

Phillip Jeffries’s Wildflowers wall covering was decorator Christine Gentile’s jumping-off point for this “relaxed and not too fussy” bedroom, which also features a streamlined lacquer-and-oak canopy bed by Kelly Hoppen for Sonder Living. “I wanted it to feel warm and inviting, but chic at the same time,” Gentile says.
Accessories in this bedroom include a Currey & Company light fixture,
a rug from Country Carpet, and African juju hats mounted on the wall.
This “very elegant, yet unpredictable room appeals to both men and women,” says interior designer Elsa Soyars, who chose Maya Romanoff’s Shimmering Burlap wall covering as a compelling backdrop for tailored furnishings from the Manhattan-based company Cliff Young Ltd..
The master bedroom features curtains made from ade Le Cuona fabric, a wool-and-sisal rug from the Carpetman, and lamps and coffee tables from Lorin Marsh.
Debra Geller envisioned the master bedroom’s office as a dedicated space for a working woman to handle business or spend time with her family. Gabriel Scott’s smoked-glass Welles chandelier and a wall covering featuring oversize blush-colored peonies help amplify the diminutive 185-square-foot space. “It’s a creative sanctuary,” says Geller. “The word ‘office’ doesn’t even do it justice.”
In the master bedroom office, chairs upholstered in Osborne & Little fabrics sit at a Mark Jupiter–designed desk.
A longtime Hamptons resident, Tamara Stephenson dreamed up a powder room that exemplifies the “laid-back lifestyle of summering on the East End,” she says.

The powder room’s Wheels wall covering is by Root Cellar Designs, LLC.
Jaime Walters outfitted the laundry room with all the customary features one would expect, such as Samsung appliances, but the space also showcases photographs, ceramics, and crochet works by artist Alexandra Rowley that center around the theme of connections—something Walters says she’s thankful for. “I’ve made great friendships with other designers, artists, and artisans,” says Walters, “and I’m a better designer for it.”
The cabinetry in the laundry room is from California Closets.
To make the most of the long and narrow (five feet by 20 feet) subgrade area encompassing the staircase from the recreation room to the backyard, landscape designer Frederico Azevedo packed it with a lush mix of greenery, including Boston fern, ficus, Dracaena, and spider plant. “I want people inside to look out and feel relaxed,” he says.
In a small outdoor space, Frederico Azevedo installed a reflective metal wall sculpture and two fiberstone spheres from Unlimited Earth Care, his shop in Bridgehampton.
“I wanted to design a comfortable, modern environment that anyone can enjoy,” says New York–based decorator Paris Kostopoulos. A pergola and multiple sitting areas, not to mention amenities like an outdoor kitchen and a Blatt Billiards pool table, are ideally suited for entertaining.
