2/4Photograph by Attic FireInspired by the furniture of Dutch designer Ineke Hans for the brand Moooi, the firm employed rubber and recycled plastic for the exterior skin: The rubber protects the structure from the elements, while the plastic screen shields the rubber and mitigates heat gain. Judge Nathan Orsman deems it “restrained and sexy,” while judge Janice Parker says the “confident design is innovative and chic.”Photograph by Attic FireInspired by the furniture of Dutch designer Ineke Hans for the brand Moooi, the firm employed rubber and recycled plastic for the exterior skin: The rubber protects the structure from the elements, while the plastic screen shields the rubber and mitigates heat gain.

The common spaces are contained within a gable-roofed volume, and thermally insulated glass, a geothermal system, and new insulation make for a more energy-efficient structure overall. “The proportions are pure, simple, and strong,” says judge Richard Keith Langham. “And the dark trim articulates and punctuates the architecture.”Photograph by Chris FosterIn East Hampton, Martin Architects gave a modernist makeover to a traditional house.

The compact structure’s angled rooflines and central light well make the interiors feel spacious, even “treehouse-like,” says Orsman, noting the house’s perch six feet above grade (a FEMA requirement).For a vacant quarter-acre oceanfront lot in Amagansett, the firm was tasked with designing a luxurious residence that would meet strict building codes: in this case, a 15-by-20-foot home with two stories and a total height of 19 feet.
