And Ronald Kuoppala Architecture of Water Mill also won a commendation for historic restoration/adaptive re-use for Mr. Kuoppala’s work on the Atterbury Carriage House in Shinnecock Hills. The home, a 3,700-square-foot Tudor, was built by noted architect Grosvenor Atterbury on the Atterbury Estates in 1911. The main objective was to convert the carriage house into a full-time residence while preserving as much of the original exterior design and interior elements as possible.
The overall plan, according to Mr. Kuoppala’s submission, included converting existing garage space into a new living area with an adjacent kitchen. Existing bedrooms remained in their original location. A new fireplace was incorporated into the new living room and designed to replicate the original. A new laundry room and storage room were reconfigured from the existing mechanical room. New French doors replaced the existing garage doors in the living room. The floors, originally poured concrete, were replaced with limestone slabs. All of the first floor ceilings were refinished with clear Poplar and remaining second floor wooden floors were preserved and refinished.
The new master bedroom is en suite with his and her baths and a walk-in closet which replaced a warren of rooms consisting of a great room, kitchen & laundry room. Other design consideration was given to an additional bathroom, which was reconfigured and leaving the original built-ins in the master bedroom which were refinished.
A New York City firm, Murdock Young Architects, won two Archi awards for work on the East End. The firm received an Archi for single and multi-family residential design for a private residence in East Hampton and won an Archi for small projects for a private bathroom in a home in East Hampton.
