Architect Visit: Shelter Island House by Schappacher White

From Janet January 22, 2010

NY-based architects Rhea White and Steve Schappacher of Schappacher White sent us images of their recently remodeled Shelter Island fisherman's cottage, built in 1904. "We bought the house five years ago as a weekend retreat. We were looking for something more modern, but when we saw this, we had to make an offer, despite the fact that the interior had many misdirected renovations over the years. We rethought the entire site, so that the property could be used year round; we added French doors off the dining room, an exterior fireplace made from reclaimed bricks from a former factory in NYC, and a pool. Throughout the interiors, we used whites, off whites, and sand colors, and used black and natural wood as contrasts and a mix of modern pieces, antiques, and found objects." Photographs by Laura Moss.

Really loving the neutral color palette that's brought to life with high contrast punches of black. What a stylish & cozy home!

Love this look. Where is the black and white rug from?

I adore the cabinet under the stairwell to hide the TV and all its paraphernalia. What a clever, practical use for what might otherwise be dead space.

i want to move in and never leave.

I'd suggest a name for this house - Black and White.

Lurve. I think black and white on a beach is so unexpected and classic.

Where did they get the shower door? Is it steel?

posted by Matt on 01/26/2010 at 10:45 am


The shower partition is custom steel framed tempered glass.
