Author: South Fork Custom Home Development

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. 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.

Designing and building your custom home in the Hamptons allows you to tailor every facet to your specific taste. When you choose our team of Hamptons builders, you can rest easy knowing that we will take care of the details while you enjoy what matters most in your 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.

The only limits are your budget and imagination when you choose South Fork Custom Home Development. With the South Fork style, you’ll build a home that’s bright, distinctive, open, and modern. We offer exquisite details to every aspect of your Hamptons estate, both inside and out. Whether it be walk-in showers, private dressing rooms, or outdoor living spaces, our design and build team is here to make your dream home a reality.

A clear example of this is our recent build, 51 Pheasant Lane in Southampton, NY, which has been featured on Selling the Hamptons streaming on Discovery+. Hamptons Magazine graciously described this estate as a blend of “utter serenity and sophistication, plus everything you need to entertain.” At 10,000+ square feet, “a seemingly endless list of luxurious amenities elevate everyday living so residents feel like they’re on vacation every day.”

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.

Indoor Living Areas

The indoor areas of your home are where you’ll congregate as well as find solitude. From quiet evenings with family to spirited gatherings, you need a design-build team that can plan for all occasions. As Hamptons home builders, we can help you create floor plans for the living room and kitchen, as well as private spaces that meet all of your needs.

Living Room

The living room is the focal point of your home. For you and your loved ones, it’s where you spend time together and create meaningful memories. For guests, it’s the first thing they see once they enter your front door. With the South Fork home style, our architecture design team can create a warm, welcoming space that meets all of your needs. 

Open Floor Plan

Open floor plans allow for the free flow of people and conversation. Unlike designs that create separation, this style makes the most out of your square footage by removing barriers.

High Ceilings

The rise in popularity of one-story homes has also led to the rise in ceilings. This enhances your living room by making it feel more spacious, as well as allowing more room for decorating.

Large Windows

High ceilings provide the opportunity to install large windows that let in abundant natural light. They work with other features to make the space feel larger and more welcoming.

Picturesque Views

It wouldn’t be a Hamptons home without gorgeous views. During the design phase, our team will plan to make the most of your property with windows facing the most beautiful scenery possible.

Bedrooms

Living rooms are made for gatherings and entertaining, but it’s important to still have a space of your own. Bedrooms provide sanctuary when you need some time to yourself, and as the place where you’ll spend a third of your day, it should be as customized and comfortable as possible. 

A Balcony for Your Master Bedroom

A balcony for your master bedroom can increase the natural feeling of the space. It makes the room more open and turns your master suite into a private refuge.

Walk-In Showers

Unlike traditional shower stalls, walk-in showers combine relaxing body jets with stylish design. You’ll love it so much you may never want to leave.

Private Dressing Rooms

Many people dream of having a spacious walk-in closet. Why not take it up a notch and upgrade to your own private dressing room? They provide the benefit of an elegant changing room that is customized to your exact needs for all your clothing and accessories. 

Kitchens

As with living rooms, your home’s kitchen often serves as a focal point for family gatherings as well as parties. We can facilitate these moments with high-quality additions that are as practical as they are inviting. With these kitchen features, you’ll create a space that’s as warm and inviting as the meals you serve.

Oversized Kitchen Islands

From seating to storage, oversized kitchen islands provide multiple uses while adding to your home’s aesthetic. Choose granite or quartz for a countertop that’s as beautiful as it is functional.

Kitchen Nook

A kitchen nook is an expansive addition that serves as a place to eat, do activities, or just talk. Unlike a breakfast nook, it’s intended to be a place to relax and take your time rather than rush.

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Add warmth to your kitchen with soft under-cabinet lighting. Not only does it make your kitchen more welcoming, but it also helps with those late-night snacks.

Outdoor Living Areas

As a summer vacation retreat, your Hamptons home needs to be perfectly suited to a lifestyle in the sun. When you choose the South Fork Building Company as your team of Hamptons home builders, you get a partner that understands how important outdoor living truly is. This way you have a home that’s as enjoyable outside as it is inside.

Outdoor Kitchens

Bring the convenience of modern cooking outside with an outdoor kitchen. With this addition, you will be able to keep your guests satiated and libations flowing well into the long summer nights.

Outdoor Lounge

Lovely summer days call for an equally beautiful space to enjoy them in. Outdoor lounges provide all the comforts of your living room in a comfortable and beautiful covered area. 

Custom Pool

A custom pool can be the crown jewel of your backyard. The pool is often the focal point of outdoor entertaining and deserves as much design attention as the other major elements of your home. They can be tailored to your exact specifications and will provide a lifetime of memories for you and your loved ones.

You have a lot on your plate when doing a remodel or building a custom home in the Hamptons. The process has many moving parts, from choosing an architectural design firm to deciding which high-end features you want. 

Unfortunately, it’s easy to find yourself feeling overwhelmed throughout the process as the custom remodeling of your dreams turns into a frustrating ordeal. However, South Fork’s partnerships with architects and designers allow us to prevent the frustrations that might come from a complex project.

Design-build construction streamlines the custom home remodeling process. Where traditional home renovations require a separate architect or designer and contractor, South Fork can manage your project from design to completion. Whether it’s a remodel or building a custom home from the ground up, our team of Hamptons home builders oversee the project and keep consistent pricing.

What Is a Design-Build Home Builder?

Design-build construction is a simplified approach to custom remodeling and homebuilding. Rather than working with an architect and a contractor, you work with one company from start to finish. This allows you to design the renovation of your dreams without being burdened with the details of the remodeling process. The result is a painless process and a remodel that you’ll love.

Design-Build vs the Traditional Design Process

A design-build home builder isn’t your typical custom home builder. During the traditional construction process, you’ll need to hire an architect and interior designer to plan your dream renovation along with a general contractor to build it. While often the norm, requiring multiple different parties for the design and building of your home can lead to a lot of crossed wires and price creep of the project.

As Hamptons home builders, South Fork Custom Home Development streamlines the entire design and construction process. We provide our own in-house architect and interior designer for the design phase. However, you can still hire your own of either one if you wish. 

We use only the highest quality local subcontractors who understand the lifestyle and luxury that comes with living in the Hamptons. We work with them to plan and execute your Hamptons remodeling project. Whether it’s an update to an indoor living space or a new outdoor kitchen, the South Fork team works to ensure that you’ll love every square foot of your new home addition.

Hamptons Home Builders and Design-Build Companies Make the Perfect Combination

When it comes to choosing Hamptons home builders, There are multiple benefits to selecting South Fork. As a design-build company, we provide everything from being your single point of contact to consistent pricing. This helps ensure that there are no surprises as you move from planning the renovation of your existing home to completion. In the end, you get a remodel that you love without any frustration.

Single Point of Contact

The traditional remodeling process comes in two phases for homeowners

1. Find a designer and design your remodel
2. Find a contractor and have them build it 

The problem with this method is that it creates much more work for you. You have to find a designer or architect, which can be time-consuming, and develop the plans. Next, you need to find a reputable contractor to actually do the remodel.

What becomes frustrating is often having to act as the go-between for the designer and the contractor who each have their own areas of expertise that might not overlap. This can become a job in and of itself, causing you to effectively be overseeing the project on your own. This can become a major burden for those with jobs or other responsibilities who simply don’t have time for the role.

South Fork Custom Home Development is able to remove that burden for our clients by acting as your single point of contact. Since we handle the construction as well as the design, we are able to answer any questions, concerns, or requests that you may have. This removes the stress that can come during a remodel and simplifies the project from beginning to end.

Perfect for Custom Home Remodeling or Building

The design-build process isn’t just for remodeling an existing home. It’s also ideal if you have always dreamed of building your own custom home in the Hamptons. This allows you to build the home you’ve always wanted rather than only updating one area or doing it piece by piece. This way, you get to design your dream home from the ground up, overseeing every detail.

Our team of Hamptons home builders is uniquely qualified to build your luxury home. We are passionate about this area and the lifestyle it affords, and we take great care to build custom homes that reflect just that. Our architects and designers understand that a home in Water Mill, Southampton, or any other neighborhood needs its own personality, but should be bright, distinctive, open, and modern. 

We understand the unique beauty of the Hamptons and build homes to reflect it. Click here to learn more about the South Fork Home Style!

Consistent Pricing

When it comes to custom home remodeling, the only surprise you want is how beautiful the final result looks. The last thing you need is any surprise increase in cost catching you off guard during the building process. No one enjoys seeing costs slowly go up as the renovation process continues.

With a Southfork Hamptons home, you have peace of mind knowing that we monitor every detail of your remodel from start to finish. The design-build construction method allows us to keep track of every aspect of your home as it’s being built.

Building a custom luxury home in the Hamptons with South Fork Custom Home Development is one more step toward living the life of your dreams. The sky’s the limit when it comes to custom features you can incorporate into your new home, and our team will help you make it all a reality. 

Some features are more in demand and in fashion than others. Consider the following amenities when you meet with our team of Hamptons home builders. 

Design Luxurious Master Bathrooms with Hamptons Home Builders

A spa-like bathroom is a must-have in a luxury home. When you’re building your dream home, aim to create a sanctuary you don’t want to get away from. For many people, that includes incorporating spa-like amenities, like large walk-in showers, heated floors, and even saunas. Some upcoming trends we’re seeing as Hamptons home builders include gold-toned or matte black fixtures, organic elements like bamboo flooring and stone accent walls, and serene color palettes. When you’re designing a home in the Hamptons, we recommend incorporating plenty of natural sunlight as well.  

“Larger bathrooms and primary suites will continue to be a trend,” says designer Mark Lavender in Good Housekeeping. “With more people now permanently working from home, our clients are looking to get away from it all and a primary suite can do this. Fixtures in gold-tone finishes are becoming more readily available, and these will continue to grow in popularity. While associated with the boho look, these stand-alone and can work nicely with traditional and modern aesthetics.”

Other popular features include:

• Marble elements
• Steam showers
• Freestanding soaker tubs
• Wood elements

Smart Home Systems Are Key For Luxury Homes

Embracing technology is important with custom-built homes, even in areas like the Hamptons with long histories and well-established traditions. The first thing many people think of when it comes to technology is security. While that is important, there are many other ways to incorporate technology that make life easier. 

Smart security

Most security companies include cameras in various parts of the exterior of the home, including as part of your doorbell. Smart home security systems can be accessed from your phone or iPad, allowing you to view the cameras from wherever you are, and to enable or disable the security systems remotely. 

Smart lights

Controlling the lighting of your home remotely is not only energy-efficient, but it also minimizes effort when you’ve forgotten to switch lights off. Watching a movie and need to reduce the lighting in your room, but don’t want to get up? Just pull out your smartphone. Our team of Hamptons home builders can install smart bulbs that are compatible with your electronic devices, or wire the entire lighting system to be “smart.” Color-changing bulbs are also an excellent way to create the perfect party atmosphere when entertaining.

Smart thermostat

The smart thermostat is a fantastic way to streamline your busy days, allowing you to change the temperature of your home from the comfort of your couch, or while you’re away on vacation. It also adds to the sustainability of your home, increasing energy efficiency. 

Other gadgets that automate life at home include smart home air purification systems, smart displays in kitchens, smart speakers, smart plugs, smart robot vacuum cleaners, and more. 

Outdoor Living Spaces In Custom Homes

Outdoor living spaces were already popular before the pandemic. As more people shift to working from home on a regular basis, that trend is expected to keep growing. Outdoor living spaces often include fireplaces, custom seating arrangements, pools, pool houses, and four-seasons sunrooms.  

The goal is to blend outdoor and indoor living, and life in the Hamptons lends itself to that. Outdoor living and dining rooms are popular, but some unexpected amenities in luxury homes include outdoor television viewing areas. Whether you’re watching the big game or the latest action movie, just make sure the electronics are protected from the elements. 

If you’re constrained by space and want to augment your outdoor living area, consider a roof deck as well. 

If you’re into an active lifestyle, adding tennis courts or a pool can be a rewarding investment. This is true whether you’re living in the house full-time or using it as a vacation home. As Hamptons home builders, South Fork Custom Home Development’s custom build on Pheasant Lane in Southampton features both a sunken tennis court and a luxury pool. Not only can these amenities make your life more fun, but they’re great for guests as well. 

Home Theaters Are A Must-Have Amenity

Most of our custom homes include an in-home movie theater. These rooms are often multipurpose rooms, and can also be used as an office, game room, or a place to simply listen to music. The acoustics of the room are arguably one of the most important things here, as is the custom seating and technology. 

Because of the nature of this room, a lot of thought and detail must go into it. Our team at South Fork Home Development can take care of all the planning.We’ll put painstaking effort into making sure your dream becomes a reality. Some of the special touches that can make an in-home theater “wow” your guests include:

• Custom draperies and furniture
• A bar
• Ambient lighting
• Impeccable sound systems that feature subwoofers and surround sound

Consider Gourmet Kitchens With Wine Cellar, Warming Drawers

Kitchens are often the area of the home where people add the most personalized touches. Many custom-built luxury homes in the Hamptons include a spacious island with marble or quartz countertops, state of the art appliances, walk-in pantries, and microwave or warming drawers. Some go the extra mile and include a wine cellar, a brick oven, and even a fireplace. 

The materials you choose are part of what makes a kitchen luxurious. That applies to everything from your countertop surfaces to the type of wood that’s used in the cabinetry. Bespoke details like gleaming range hoods and intricately detailed hardware are options that really make a kitchen stand out. Incorporating smart-home elements like smart refrigerators, charging stations, touchless faucets and built-in television screens can bring even the most traditional kitchen into the 21st century. 

Built-in storage systems are important to help keep things organized, and look great at the same time. Major appliances can even be hidden with the right combination of custom cabinetry and storage.

Our knowledge of the area combined with our experience working with now-residents uniquely positions us to build the home of your dreams in the Hamptons.

Hiring an architect will be one of the most important decisions you make when building your home in the Hamptons. As you make this decision, there are a few questions you should ask yourself beforehand that will help make the design and building process go as smoothly as possible.

Questions to ask yourself when hiring an architect include:

• Should I hire my own architect or work with Hampton home builders?

• Is this the best location for my Hamptons home?

• Will I be using my home for gatherings or as a refuge? 

• Do I prefer traditional or modern home design?

Should I Hire My Own Architect or Work With Hampton Home Builders?

It’s no question that you need an architect during the design process for your floor plan and other design elements, but researching and interviewing potential architects can be draining. You can save time on finding an architect by choosing a Hampton custom builder who can connect you with one.

At South Fork Custom Home Development, we have our own in-house architect and designer who can bring your vision to life. We’re passionate about the Hamptons area and dedicated to building homes that showcase its natural beauty. With spacious rooms and large windows that allow plenty of natural light and air, you’ll be surrounded by the classic beauty of the Hamptons.

The final result will be a vacation getaway that is bright, distinctive, open, and modern.

Is This the Best Location for My Hamptons Home?

As Newsweek reminds us, location is the most important factor when buying any form of real estate. Especially in a place like the Hamptons, where Southampton has a distinctly different personality from Bridgehampton just down the road. It can be even more important when building your home away from home. After all, you can change a lot about your vacation home through home remodeling or adding an addition later on. However, you can’t change its location once you have the completed project. 

But location is only part of where you build your house. Another important factor is how you position your vacation home. This may not be a major concern for most people building a home, but this isn’t the case when building in the Hamptons. For the most picturesque views possible, you need to make sure that your dream home is in the right position.  

With South Fork’s architecture and design services, you can be confident that you’ll get the most out of whatever location you choose for your custom home in the Hamptons. We can design your home to take advantage of the breathtaking views, positioning it in such a way that it’s difficult to distinguish where your patio doors end and the bay begins. 

A knowledgeable architect or architecture firm will be able to guide you through the same process. Just make sure that they have experience working in the Hamptons area. This will let you know that they understand what makes it a truly unique and desirable place, and how to translate that into a luxury vacation home.

Will I Be Using My Home for Gatherings or as a Refuge?

People build vacation homes for different reasons. For some, it’s a way to escape the city and get a little bit of peace and quiet. While a few close family and friends may be welcome, they have no desire to experience anything resembling the fast-moving lifestyle they left behind. 

On the other hand, owning a vacation home in the Hamptons is a way to be at the epicenter of social life. For these people, large double-doors that lead out to patio kitchens are more than a way to blur the lines between interiors and exteriors. They’re a way to keep a constantly rotating stream of party attendees circulating through their home.

Whether you prefer privacy, society, or somewhere in between, our architect will work with you to design your project down to the very last detail. If you prefer privacy, there may be a greater focus on gated entrances with lush allee driveways that highlight the beauty of the property while enhancing privacy. If you wish for your home to be a gathering place, you may prefer more guest rooms and large open spaces that invite crowds and conversation.  

Do I Prefer Traditional or Modern Home Design?

The Hamptons has a rich history of architecture and style that’s recognized all over the globe. From the shingle style of the late 1800s to the understated colonial revival, you have plenty of options for blending classic style with modern luxury. Our architect and designer can help you plan your ideal home starting from the schematic design all the way to move-in day.

As The New York Times points out, architecture in the Hamptons is cyclical and what was once out of fashion will eventually become popular again. Right now modernist architecture is on the rise, focusing on floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to enjoy the views in the most contemporary way.

South Fork prides itself on its forward thinking style while also paying homage to the stylistic traditions of the Hamptons. We’re perfectly suited to design your home that feels historically rooted to the area while benefiting from modern conveniences and an up-to-date appearance.

At South Fork Custom Home Development, we provide our own in-house architect to save you time looking for a design team. However, you can still hire your own architect or buy design plans if you wish. When hiring an architect, it helps to have an idea of where you want to build for the best views of your property. You should also decide whether you want your home to be a place of solitude or one for large gatherings. The Hamptons have a rich architectural history, so be thinking about which style best suits your tastes as well as your goals.

When it comes to home-buying, you’re often left choosing between a custom home or one that’s move-in ready. Knowing which will result in your dream home will determine the option that’s right for you. As Hamptons home builders, we recommend using a custom home builder for your summer estate.

Move-in-ready homes may give you a few customization options, while custom homes allow you to tailor every detail of your house to your exact specifications. Hiring a custom home builder gives you the opportunity to work with an expert and benefit from their years of experience and relationships, and they give you the opportunity to build the home of your dreams.

The Pros and Cons of Using a Custom Home Builder for Your Hampton Estate

There are pros and cons to everything, including using custom Hamptons home builders. While there are some perceived disadvantages such as the length of time, or the magnitude of decisions to make, many buyers truly appreciate the custom route once they step across the threshold into the luxury home of their dreams.

The Benefits of Using a Custom Home Builder

There are many benefits to hiring a custom home builder, but some of the most important include:

• Less time spent managing the process
• Highest quality subcontractors
• Expertise and knowledge

Less Time Spent Managing the Process

As you can imagine, building your dream home requires a lot of time and effort. What began as making your dream a reality can end up feeling overwhelming. Fortunately, when you hire custom Hamptons home builders, you are hiring more than someone to build a house — you’re hiring a team to handle the headaches of building so that you’re not burdened by the process.

Highest Quality Subcontractors

High-quality subcontractors for plumbing, tile work, and trim work can make or break your home build schedule, finishes, and ultimately your house. Choosing the right builder means they’ll have subcontractors who do what they say they’ll do and when, ensuring that you’re getting the highest quality of craftsmanship for your luxurious Hampton estate.

Expertise & Knowledge

Houses are more than walls and a roof. They are complex buildings with plumbing, wiring, insulation, and many other parts that you will never see. By hiring custom Hamptons home builders, you’re partnering with an expert that has years of experience in construction. Their knowledge allows them to work with the architect and designers and guide the subcontractors as they oversee the construction of your home to completion.

Some Considerations when Using Custom Hamptons Home Builders

There are a couple of considerations that you should be aware of. These include the fact that custom homes tend to be more expensive than move-in-ready options as well as taking longer to complete.

Custom Homes Tend To Be More Expensive

Buying a home is rarely inexpensive, and this is especially true if you’re building a custom home in the Hamptons. When building the home you’ve always aspired to have, it’s important to understand that it will cost more than your average “turn-key” options. On the other hand, you are choosing to truly get what you want when you decide to go with a custom home builder.

Custom Homes Require a Different Time Frame

A move-in ready home can be moved into quickly, just as long as it takes to complete the transaction. Compare that to an average of 12 to 30 months for a 7,500-square-foot home that satisfies all of your criteria. Quality takes time, including the home of your dreams.  

Conclusion

While there are certain considerations to hiring custom Hamptons home builders, they’re far outweighed by the benefits. In fact, the disadvantages can be seen as benefits with the right perspective. After all, you aren’t hiring a custom builder to cut corners, nor to increase the risk of making mistakes by rushing your dream home. In the end, choosing a custom home builder for your home in the Hamptons is the best way to turn your aspirations into actuality.
