Meyer Davis principal Will Meyer discovered this 1970s Hugh Newell Jacobsen waterfront house in East Hampton, modifying it to suit his family of four. It was largely untouched but still needed a lot of work. He punched out windows and reshuffled the layout to improve sight lines for their casual lifestyle. Rather than recreating a 70’s mod museum, he limited the interior palette to white and gray, a kind of icy Nordic backdrop to the brighter furnishings.

A former painting studio was converted into a spa-like master bath, clad in faux-bois porcelain tile. Real wood trim on the vanity mixes with white lacquer to reference the tile and the tub nearby.
