The 1967 beach house—which underwent a meticulous renovation by Bates Masi, the original architect’s firm—is listed as an exclusive holiday rental along the coast of Long Island in New York.

By the time Harry Bates designed this 1967 home for a young family in East Hampton, New York, the architect was already known for his modernist residences throughout the area. Roughly four decades later, the local firm Bates leads with architect Paul Masi—aptly named Bates Masi—revisited the property to renovate and expand the home for its current owners.

The coastal home architect Harry Bates designed for a family in East Hampton, New York, in 1967 was renovated almost 40 years later by the local firm he founded, Bates Masi.

Bates Masi’s renovation and expansion of the beach residence salvaged much of the structure’s original cypress decking and incorporated subtle additions to the exterior and interior. The main living area is characterized by red cypress timber paneling, a towering stone fireplace, and a full wall of glazing. Sliding glass doors connect the space to a large deck that looks out over the woodland lot.

The main living area features red cypress timber panels, a full-height stone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
