Tour an Art-Filled Modern Oasis on Long Island

Once a 19th-century Quaker community, the Long Island village of Old Westbury is now associated with lavish traditional estates. It's part of the island's "Gold Coast," where F. Scott Fitzgerald set The Great Gatsby.) Mojo Stumer Associates — a modern design team that’s received national attention (and plenty of awards) for its innovative projects — aimed to make contemporary history with its own take on luxury in Old Westbury. The 6,000-square-foot, mahogany-and-stone-clad result both blends in with its wooded, once-pastoral setting and deploys modern minimalism to create a 21st-century oasis. Principal architect Mark Stumer and interior designer Jessica Licalzi threw open the doors of this two-story, four-bedroom jewel box and walked HGTV through its spectacular details.
