LONGPORT OCEANFRONT RESIDENCE

LONGPORT OCEANFRONT RESIDENCE
ON THE JERSEY SHORE
NEW JERSEY

This modern home is featured on the cover of “Architecture,” the journal of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), distributed at their annual convention.  A shimmering, 3-story, glass block wall is the focal point of the bleached cedar,

Built on a wedge-shaped site, this seaside vacation home takes advantage of its vertical composition on a constrained footprint.

Unstable soil, buffeting winds, and relentless tides on the exposed point created substantial engineering problems, which we solved by stabilizing existing bulkheads and introducing more than 150 piles capped with concrete grade beams.

On the second level, the main living space offers a panoramic vista. Our firm designed the built-in furniture, integral to the design concept.

The third level is dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, which features an undulating, balcony wall that presents a layering of sea and sky views through a 2-story window facing the ocean.

From the moment of entry the eye is carried out to the horizon and vertically through the house.

Featured in “Seaside Geometry,” New Jersey Home & Garden , New Jersey Monthly Magazine.

A multilevel entrance hall frames the ocean view while connecting the 3 levels with a dramatic staircase.
