The Long View

For designer Kelly Behun, creating a weekend house in Long Island for her family was no small matter. The result is a stunning series of glass-and-stone pavilions by the sea that mixes the austere with the playful.

Exterior

A protégé of Philippe Starck when he was collaborating with hotelier Ian Schrager, designer Kelly Behun knows all about creating comfort amid splendor. She is a master of materials and scale, crafting sleek yet inviting spaces for projects ranging from the Delano in Miami to the Manhattan apartment of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

The Southampton, New York, home of designer Kelly Behun and her family; the architecture is by Brian Sawyer and John Berson of Sawyer / Berson. The façade is stucco, the pool is lined with Indiana limestone, and the boulders on the lawn are from a local quarry.

But midway through building a weekend getaway for her own family in the Hamptons, an ultramodern house nearly as large and ambitious as a five-star boutique hotel, she began to question her sanity. "I looked at the construction, at all those steel beams shooting up through the ground," she says, shuddering slightly at the memory, "and I thought, What have I done?"

Loggia

Behun designed the loggia's table, which has a base of hand-cut ceramic mosaic tiles and a Macassar ebony top; the Living Divani sofas are upholstered in a Holly Hunt linen, the wicker stools are by IKEA, the rope stool and blue chair are by Christian Astuguevieille, and the custom rugs are made from African raffia ceremonial cloths.
