New York firm 1100 Architect designed this pair of contemporary modernist cabins in the Hampton’s hamlet of Water Mill to celebrate their sylvan settings.

The two-bedroom homes are located at 986 and 988 Noyac Path. Each occupies a private 2.9-acre forested plot that was originally part of a larger residential compound.

The first cabin is a glass pavilion-style home with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, polished concrete floors and an all-white interior scheme. As 1100 Architect explains, it’s’ open to light, hidden by trees.’

This sense of cocooning is more obvious at the second property, dubbed The Bunk House by the practice.

The two-storey dwelling perches on a hillside and comprises a long rectangle anchored by a solid concrete volume embedded in the slope. Its rugged material palette uses cement board and poured concrete, glass and wood.

The upper volume houses three bedrooms, a kitchen and a dining room – all of which cantilever above the forest floor. Combined, the cabins offer four bedrooms, four bathrooms and just under $2,330 sq ft of living space.

Water Mill is a quiet hamlet: while close to the ocean and bay beaches and surrounded by farmers’ fields, the neighbouring villages of Sagaponack, Bridgehampton, and Southampton aren’t too far away.

Listing agents Jeremy Dunham and Jack Pearson of Compass are marketing the Hampton properties together for $4.59m. They say they could become part of the ‘ultimate Hamptons compound’, with infrastructure in place should the new owner be ‘dreaming up’ a significantly larger home.
