While perusing The Little Book of Living Small, we were happy to see designer Glenn Ban‘s compact East Hamptons home; measuring just 600 square feet, it's charming and refined.
Glenn transformed the enclosed porch into a mudroom/reading room.
Glenn has since sold this house, but he says this room offered "a cozy spot to read or just drop towels after the beach.”
The Donald Judd-inspired plywood daybed was built for his old home but fit nicely here.
Another favorite feature: the wooden ceiling beams in the living room, the original “single room” from the 1800s.
Two modest-sized bedrooms are just off the main living area.
Each bedroom is big enough for a bed and a couple pieces of small furniture.
The sleeping quarters remain pleasingly serene and bare.
A Saarinen table in the dining area is a modern counterpoint to antique wooden chairs.
The kitchen, humble and practical, was left untouched.
Glenn brought in a large bookcase for more storage in the kitchen.
