Month: February 2022

The dunes in Montauk, North Haven’s bayfront, the ocean in Sagaponack, Amagansett’s barn country, romantic bridges throughout the area – there are incredible places to see everywhere you look in the Hamptons. That’s why beautiful outdoor spaces are key to living life to the fullest in this scenic part of New York. Whether you live in the area full time or just visit for the summer, South Fork Custom Home Development can help you experience the Hampton lifestyle to the fullest. 

Life in this classic, historic community is often centered around the scenic outdoor vistas. While our homes pay homage to the community’s roots, we also incorporate modern touches. That extends to your outdoor spaces.  

South Fork is attuned to the lifestyle and design trends, making us the perfect builder in Southampton and beyond. Together, we can create the home of your dreams in the Hamptons. We are Hamptons home builders that work hand-in-hand with you to build the life you’re looking for. 

Indoor-Outdoor Spaces in the Hamptons

One of the defining aspects of a home in the Hamptons is the integration between the indoors and the outdoors. Transitional spaces can include indoor rooms with large windows and glass doors that provide beautiful views that create a bright, airy feel. 

Our goal with our custom home builds is to blend the interior of your home with the serene outdoor experience of Southampton. As top builders in Southampton, we incorporate not only light, but also a color palette that maximizes the space and reflects the peaceful seaside next door. 

Al fresco dining spaces can be semi-covered by a pavilion, or designed as part of solariums, which are rooms fitted almost exclusively with glass. As you plan your outdoor space, make sure to consider your transitional spaces as well. These are excellent for hosting parties and events, allowing guests to flow in and out of the outdoors. Check out our previous build at 16 Cobb Hill for an example of a beautiful transitional space. 

Outdoor Kitchens in the Hamptons

An outdoor kitchen can be as simple or as luxurious as you want. There really are no limits to designing your outdoor space, and our team at South Fork Custom Home Development can help you make your dreams a reality. 

Use your landscape as part of your outdoor kitchen design. A seaside retreat should be enjoyed wherever you are – even if that’s while you’re cooking, eating, and entertaining. Consider whether you want a view of your own beautiful home, or a more scenic view. 

Include ample workspace and weather-resistant materials as you choose your layout and design. A mix of natural elements like wood and steel will help your outdoor kitchen remain functional and aesthetically pleasing. As builders in Southampton and throughout the Hamptons, our design team at South Fork can guide you through this process, combining our building expertise with your personal preferences.

Recreational Outdoor Spaces in Your Hampton Home

While entertaining and dining spaces may be top of mind when you’re dreaming about outdoor spaces, the recreational opportunities are just as important. The sky is really the limit when it comes to active use spaces. Do you love soccer? Incorporate an area to play in your grounds. Do you love to play tennis? Consider building a tennis court that blends seamlessly with your surroundings. 

Luxury pools with poolside bars are always popular choices and can be designed to your specifications. Playgrounds, sitting areas to soak up the sun or just enjoy the view, garden groves, and even docks can be a part of your summer home retreat in the Hamptons. 

For an example of what we can provide as builders in Southampton, check out 51 Pheasant Lane. This fantastic recreational outdoor space is one of the crown jewels among our Hamptons homes. With a pristine tennis court and a beautiful pool and spa, you’ll have everything you need right at home.  

Luxurious Amenities in Your Outdoor Space

Consider adding unexpected amenities to your outdoor space. These can include:

• A TV viewing area under a covered pavilion
• Outdoor beds
• Freestanding fireplaces
• Retreating glass walls
• Outdoor showers and baths tucked away in private gardens

A Place to Connect in the Hamptons

One of the benefits of a retreat is that it offers new surroundings. Stepping outside of your daily routine offers the opportunity to truly connect with the people around you. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective. As you work with our builders in Southampton to design your outdoor living space, consider adding areas to connect with your family. That could mean al fresco dining areas, covered pavilions where you can play games or watch movies, and even trails that offer scenic views that you can discover with your loved ones. 

Meaningful conversations and the opportunity to make memories together are one of the biggest perks to having a home away from home. Our team at South Fork Custom Home Development can help you think through all the different aspects of creating your ideal outdoor living space.

South Fork Builders in Southampton: The Key to Your Dream Home 

At South Fork, we specialize in conceiving, designing, and developing custom homes with distinct attention to detail and quality of life. If you’re ready to begin building the home of your dreams with a builder that prioritizes luxury, satisfaction, and style call us today at (631) 204-8184 or schedule your one-on-one consultation here.

Since the 1990s, open floor plans have been the dominant architectural trend in new construction. This simply means that two or more rooms join together to form a larger space without walls separating them. This allows for a sense of wide-open spaces and improved traffic flow when entertaining. 

Typically, the rooms that connect include the kitchen and dining areas, the dining and living rooms, or even all three. As Hamptons home builders, South Fork recommends open floor plans to achieve the ultimate sunny and beachy aesthetic.

Open Floor Plans and Lighting in the Hamptons

Beyond improved traffic flow, an open floor plan allows for shared light. As Hamtpons home builders, we know that light is a crucial component of our design process. When you live in the Hamptons, you want to incorporate the area’s beautiful surroundings into your design, and light allows us to have a sense of bringing the outside in. Our homes are carefully designed to maximize natural light in every room with the accompanying interior design to accentuate the glow.

High ceilings and tall windows allow light to filter throughout the house, and an open floor plan ensures that light diffuses into every corner of the shared space. The openness is all part of the appeal of the Hamptons, contrasting to the hustle and bustle and sometimes claustrophobic feel of bigger cities. 

Multi-functional Spaces in Your Hampton Home

By blending various living spaces, it’s easy to reconfigure furnishings and accessories. You have more space to create comfortable sitting and dining areas. Your space can serve as a family room, a recreation room, a home office, and, of course, a space for entertaining. With a more closed-off plan, each room has a specific purpose. An open plan allows a single room to be much more. Use furniture, decor, and lighting to create a variety of small spaces that blend seamlessly together. 

With South Fork’s experience as Hamptons home builders, we know that even a home office can be a part of your shared space. With most people working on laptops, their work is increasingly mobile. Your dining room table becomes a conference table where you can easily conduct business, then sit and have a lovely lunch. 

Staying Clutter-Free in an Open Floor Plan

Since open floor plans can become cluttered quickly – there’s no way to just shut the door on the mess – it’s important to create powerful organizational systems that provide a place for everything. When designing open floor plan homes, our team of Hamptons home builders takes this into account along with your personal preferences for staying organized.

Include plenty of closets and cabinets in your open floor plan to reduce clutter. While open floor plans flow seamlessly from one living area to another, you can still designate official “zones.” Consider adding a console table behind a couch to help visually separate your living room from your kitchen. A kitchen island is also a good physical barrier to help separate the two areas. Our team at South Fork can help guide you toward cabinet choices that help reduce clutter from the kitchen. 

Furniture with hidden storage can be a wonderful asset as well. Consider ottomans that open up to store blankets or even kids’ toys, tables with storage, and even window seats with removable seats. 

Entertaining in Open Floor Plans Luxury Homes

When you’re hosting a party or even simply having a night in with family, an open floor plan allows for easy traffic flow and flexible layout. The openness keeps your guests from becoming crowded and provides a spacious feel to your home. Since most open floor plans are anchored by the kitchen, hosting and interacting with guests is a breeze. 

Whether you’re cooking or enjoying a glass of wine with friends and family in the great room, you’ll have a view of everyone and everything. This helps hosts better serve their guests, and keeps everyone connected. 

Many South Fork homes feature living rooms that connect to indoor/outdoor spaces, or even directly to a pool. Whether working as builders in Southampton or a neighboring hamlet, we know how to make your open floor plan blend seamlessly with your outdoor features. 

South Fork: Hamptons Home Builders of Your Dreams 

One of the biggest financial perks of an open floor plan is that it boosts the resale value. Despite the open concept design being around for a long time, it’s still the most sought-after design plan for luxury homes. 

As Hamptons home builders, South Fork is attuned to the lifestyle and design trends of the Hamptons. We include open floor plans in our designs, which are exceptionally important.  We’ll work together to ensure that your floor plan works for the way you live.  South Fork Custom Home Development is a luxury building company that works hand-in-hand with you to build the life you’re looking for. 

At South Fork, we specialize in conceiving, designing, and developing custom homes with distinct attention to detail and quality of life.

As one satisfied client in Murray Compound explains:

I came to South Fork with a clear vision of what I wanted for my home, and they did everything to make it happen. They understood what was important to me, listened to my feedback, and took care of the details. This left me free to focus on other things while feeling confident my home was being built the way I wanted.

South Fork Hamptons Home Remodeling

Not everyone is in need of a brand new custom home in the Hamptons. If you already own your home then it may simply be time to spruce things up a bit (or a lot). This provides you with the opportunity to add modern details and amenities while retaining the classic Hamptons style our area is known for.

With a custom remodel, you can outfit your Hamptons summer home in the current style in a much shorter time than building a new home. It also allows you to skip the frustration of moving while giving you the opportunity to make needed updates.  

Custom Hamptons Remodeling to Suit Your Style

Hamptons estates are built to last, but they may still need some updating from time to time. Whether it’s a smaller job such as a kitchen remodel with a new wine cellar or a complete home renovation, our team of Hamptons builders can bring your estate into the 21st century while retaining its classic sun-drenched beauty.

We’ve worked with numerous clients throughout the area to enhance the stunning beauty and luxuriousness of their homes. One Bridgehampton homeowner voiced their satisfaction by saying:

The South Fork team did an amazing job remodeling our home. Our place was outdated, but we knew we didn’t want to move, so we hired them in the off-season to overhaul the whole thing. Everything was perfect by the time summer came around! It honestly felt like a brand new home. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

A growing family or social circle puts new demands on you and your home. With a custom renovation, you can adapt your Hamptons estate to your changing needs without sacrificing beauty or quality.
