Six Square House // Wins WLA Merit Award for Built, Private Residential Design

We are excited to announce Six Square House won the WLA Merit Award for Built, Private Residential Design.

The landscape design for Six Square House ties three structures together through unified textures and geometries. The 1.4 acre lot in Bridgehampton, NY, includes an 1850 farm house, the recently-completed “Six Square House,” and a pool house. Three distinct landscapes stitch the property into an intuitive tapestry—shifting the axis of focus along a consistent ground plane. The end result is a landscape and habitat for play, entertainment, and exploration.

The award-winning architecture designed by Young Projects, appears to emerge from the meadow. The meadow is seeded with native meadow mix to create an ever-changing threshold for the Middle House, while a bluestone pathway leads back towards the farmhouse (closer to the road). We were committed to incorporating this contextually-relevant material into the project. However, we wanted our paving design to stand out with memorable patterns and combinations.  At various points throughout the property, we used mixtures of linear-cut natural cleft bluestone, thermal-finished bluestone, and bluestone cobbles.
