The Montauk Surfside project is a collaboration among Architect, Contractor, and Owner to create a modern, resilient, energy-efficient home. Located oceanfront with minimal tree coverage, the home endures Montauk’s harsh winds and seaside abrasion. One-third of the house sits below grade for protection, while the exposed areas are clad in weather-resistant wood and stucco. Designed within tight setbacks, it includes a bar, decks, spiral stair, and elevator. Surfside is a net zero home using solar, geothermal, and passive energy systems for a low carbon footprint.
