New York Country Home With a SoCal Vibe

Prior to moving to Sands Point, NY, the homeowners lived in Southern California and were influenced by the architecture of this region. SoCal is known for its unique blend of styles, which often combines elements of traditional Spanish architecture with more contemporary clean lines. Designers worked to create a space where the two counterparts are woven throughout the entire home.
