Hamptons style: “The Hamptons is about experimentation and escape. It’s a place where clients challenge you to design something they’ve never seen before, such as a pool house that feels like a modern pergola.”

Favorite Hamptons art venues: “I love the Parrish Art Museum for its incredible building and the LongHouse Reserve for Jack Lenor Larsen’s imagination.”
