Peconic House

The Peconic House by Mapos is a stunning family retreat overlooking Peconic Bay in the Hamptons, blending sustainable design with timeless elegance. Nestled on a five-acre plot, the 4,000-square-foot home respects its natural surroundings, including an old-growth sycamore and native fauna.

With a grass-covered roof and untreated materials like concrete, cedar, and reclaimed ipe wood, the home harmonizes with the landscape, evolving naturally over time. The long, slender structure follows the site's slope, featuring an infinity pool and terraces that frame breathtaking water views.

Inside, wood-paneled walls and expansive glass doors create a warm, airy atmosphere. The stepped living room, dining space, and family areas offer seamless indoor-outdoor connections, while a central staircase leads to bedrooms and utility spaces below.
