A traditional shingle house in the Hamptons has been designed for unwinding and living a good life - designer Julie Anne Burch tells us more

HOW DID YOU BECOME INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?

This is a second home I have designed for one of my oldest clients. The couple fell in love with the bones of the home and asked me to design it with a portion of the furniture that they already own, with the addition of some new pieces. We suggested new paint colours for the rooms, light fixtures and window treatments throughout and transformed an upper floor into an office, gym, bathroom and wine room.

The client has excellent taste and wanted everything in the house to be top quality. Once the interior was completed, they came back to ask me to design a pool house with a fireplace and TV.
