Long Island seaside town Amagansett has become a hotspot for New Yorker’s holiday homes. We’ve rounded up six retreats for welcoming warmer days.
A two-hour drive from New York City, Amagansett is on the eastern end of Long Island in the Hamptons area.
While not as famous as nearby Montauk, it is home to a number of striking houses that have sprung up in recent years. Many feature a combination of contemporary and traditional details like expansive glass walls, gable roofs and wood cladding.
Read on to discover six houses in Amagansett:

This white house is built on a sandy plot close to the ocean and comprises the renovation of a 1970s cottage.
A recent renovation designed by New York studio 1100 Architect – which also has an office in Frankfurt, Germany – opened up the interiors, added more windows and created a new deck and swimming pool.

House in Amagansett by MB Architecture
MB Architecture designed another house in Amagansett with concrete and timber to "accommodate the owner's wish for a maintenance-free house with longevity".
The residence is perpendicular to the street to minimise its visual impact, for it is on one of the town's The Lane – a set of walkable streets perpendicular to Main Street.
