Architect Visit: Barn Conversions

June 27, 2008

Something about summer makes us think about lofty living spaces and barn doors that swing open wide to dissolve the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

When the couple sold the complex in 2007, they donated eight of the houses to the town of East Hampton to be used as a town hall; architect Robert A. M. Stern is presiding.
