shelter island summerhouse

Enjoy this beautiful summerhouse that belongs to NY designer Suzanne Shaker, who worked with Deborah Berke & Partners on the project. At 1,200 square feet, the house is modest in scale, but the interior feels uncommonly spacious, thanks to the sweeping 20-foot-wide central living/dining/kitchen area, which incoporporates ample built-in storage. The exterior features materials that will eventually weather to a pleasing shade of gray: white cedar siding, galvanized metal roofing, and brushed aluminum windows.

I'm always in awe of someone who can successfully live in a minimalist environment. They obviously have no spouse, pets, or children!
