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.
