A modern private residence stands out among neighbors with enticing design lines that hint towards an upgraded comfort and relaxation level. Mothersill is a modern private residence located in Water Mill, New York, USA. Designed in 2013 by Bates Masi Architects, it covers an area of 6,027 square feet. The clients were looking for a fresh start and the design studio managed to create a bright, cheery place where family life can find a new meaning. The design for this modern private residence utilizes a boardwalk as an architectural device for weaving together multiple portions of a historic site with new building and landscape elements. The surface of the path folds up and over to become the enclosure of the main house, simultaneously functioning as floor, wall, and roof. All surfaces of this enclosure are constructed with the same wood decking as the boardwalk. A varied collection of botanically significant plantings populates the property, including a rare specimen Yew garden, serpentine Yew, and more than 400,000 Siberian Iris.
