Hamptons
The
It’s classic. It’s nostalgic. It’s one of the
strongest design movements in Perth today.
We head to Long Island for Hamptons style.
It’s the relaxation zone of the rich and famous, not to
mention some of the most influential minds in the world. The
Hamptons, located on Long Island, just a short jaunt from New
York City, is one of the most highly sought-after sea-flanked
parcels of land in the United States. And nowhere is more
desired than Meadow Lane in South Hampton. In fact, the
median house price for abodes along this 8km stretch is just
under US$18m (AU$19). It even includes a heli pad to transport
residents the 20min flight back to Manhattan.
The Hamptons is a collective term for the villages and hamlets
that make up East Hampton and Southampton (Montauk,
Water Mill, Sag Harbor, Sagaponack, Wainscott…). It’s
always been a much-loved seaside escape, but its defining
architecture has spawned a whole design movement that’s
not only enraptured the world, but inspired a strong aesthetic
movement in Western Australia.
