"An East Hampton Colonial Revival Residence by Robert A.M. Stern\nWe look back at the East Hampton home featured in our November 2012 issue, as it first appeared in the pages of AD in December 1995\n\"The residents wanted a classically inspired structure that would fit into the local context,\" says architect Robert A.M. Stern of his clients' cedar-shake-clad East Hampton house, whose interiors were designed by Mark Hampton. \"The primary rooms are contained within a rectangular gambrel-roofed mass bracketed by identically sized shed-roofed library and kitchen wings,\" Stern points out.\nDoric columns and an open-bed pediment set off the entrance.\n\"The entrance hall's architectural touches, such as the overdoors and wainscoting, derive from eighteenth-century sources,\" notes Stern. Detailed archways visually support the barrel-vaulted ceiling.\n\"The living room is calm, with a light atmosphere focusing on the fireplace and the vistas,\" says Hampton. \"The room has broad horizontal proportions,\" adds Stern. \"The chimney breast's simple ornamentation provides a relaxed character for the space.\"\nA view from the living room to the dining room takes in Jennifer Bartlett's 1986 Old House #14.At right is a nineteenth-century desk.\n\"Pine from a nineteenth-century barn was used for the woodwork,\" says Hampton of the library, where French doors open to a screen porch and a formal garden beyond. Paired carved pilasters define the room's corners.\n\"The master bedroom, like the living room, has horizontal proportions relieved by a shallow vaulted ceiling,\" says Stern.\n\"The rear fa\u00E7ade was consciously composed as if an earlier saltbox-style house, to the left, had a much grander Georgian house added to it,\" explains Stern. A 60-foot-long pergola extends out from the living and dining rooms. Towering trees offer poolside shade."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
