New York City-based studio Bromley Caldari Architects completed the A-Frame Rethink project. The original building required serious interventions. The architects completely modified the interior of this 1960s A-frame beach home and transformed it into a spectacular modern A-Frame residence.
A typical A-frame, the house had a spiral staircase splitting down the middle, four dark and cramped bedrooms, a leaky roof, and a cracked pile foundation – not the pristine vacation home that is so often associated with Fire Island Pines. By adding a new staircase, the layout was positively transformed and functionality took over he entire abode: “On the main level, a double-height living/dining room stretches the length of the window-clad north façade. The open kitchen and house utilities run along the south side. The master bedroom suite features full-height glass sliding doors that take advantage of the view. Although the doors stay mostly open, when guests are present and privacy is required, the sliding glass doors fog up at the flick of a switch.” Check out the incredible details showcased in the photos below and tell us what you think!
