Go With the Flow

The annual Holiday House Hamptons 2020 Virtual Showhouse is an occasion to highlight some of the best designers in the industry. But this year because of COVID-19, the showhouse had to go virtual. So instead of designing actual rooms in one home, designers offered up their favorite projects and highlighted their best work in this fantasy home. As showhouse founder and creative director Iris Dankner notes, "this 'dream house' of ours has two large kitchens, multiple living rooms and ample entertaining spaces."

One of America's most renowned designers, Vicente Wolf, contributed a stunning new take on traditional in this virtual Hamptons Showhouse room.

Transforming a series of small, compartmentalized rooms, for this space Wolf and his design team reinvented the interior to support a more modern, integrated lifestyle, opening the rooms on the main floor into one contiguous space. Sleek, Nano accordion doors were installed, ceilings were lacquered, and the small, mullioned windows were replaced by single glass panes to emphasize stunning views of the real home's location on Bridgehampton's Mecox Bay.

A Modern Main Bedroom

The actual home that designer Vicente Wolf re-envisioned for the virtual Hamptons Showhouse is a weekend home overlooking Mecox Bay in Watermill, Long Island. Wolf reinvented the interior of this late 1970s home to create a modern, open space in keeping with the lifestyle of a young family who love entertaining and spending time together.

A Perfect Green Idyll

Landscape design company Unlimited Earth Care owner Frederico Azevedo wanted to create what he calls a "narrative" moment in a large green lawn with "a curving floral border." The celebrated landscape designer says, "I carefully curated the colors and textures that I used to make the border feel natural and intentional in equal parts — to get that romantic atmosphere just right, the flowers have to feel a little free, uncontrolled, which actually takes careful planning."
