#forsale Modern by William Pedersen : Shelter Island, New York A triumph of contemporary design and expertly crafted by Wright and Company Construction, the house sits on almost 3 acres of rolling native meadow that gently slopes onto over 220 feet of pristine beach, with Gardiners Bay beyond. Based on a multi-axis linear framework and emphasizing the contrasting textures of the primary building materials of concrete, wood, copper and bluestone, the structure is at once both ...awe-inspiring and effortlessly comfortable. Set at the convergence of three distinct landmarks - the lighthouse in Gardiners Bay, Gardiners Island and the entrance to Coecles Harbor - an unparalleled 360-degree panoramic view unfolds in front of the property. The house itself seems to rise like an island from the water, as was the conceptual inspiration for the design. Clad in stone and sheets of standing seam copper, the 3-bedroom residence offers an open flow between the public spaces at the heart of the home, the expansive outdoor entertaining areas that define the summer lifestyle and the long passageway of the private bedroom wing. Singular in design and function, a habitable work of art.

In 1945, Arts & Architecture, along with the US Plywood Corporation, announced the winners of their Small Post-War Home Design Contest. The competition called the ‘Georgia Builds’ asked architects to design a home based on a provided hypothetical scenario including numbers of residents, lot size, certain amenities such as a garden ‘with privacy - shielded from your neighbors’, and a maximum allowed floor plan size of 1,350 square feet. A then 28 year old, Mr I.M. Pei (5th from the top), was awarded Honorable Mention and it’s $100 prize money. 44 years later, he would go on to complete the decade-long project known as the Pyramid at the Grand Louve, Paris, now considered one of the world’s most iconic design masterpieces.
