Hamptons Style House Plans

What is a Hampton style house plan?

Named after the renowned vacation spot for well-off New Yorkers, where a white dune sea stretches across a vast Atlantic horizon, the Hamptons style implies a relaxed way of life as much as any particular architectural tradition. As such, we might find a light and airy interior comfortably installed inside any Cottage, Beach, or Coastal style home. For a grander approach, the Cape Cod and Colonial styles are no less accommodating to the breezy requirements of the Hamptons style, with its bright, open plan interiors and inviting indoor/outdoor recreational areas, while the Contemporary style provides another great match with its emphasis on clean lines, large windows, and tasteful landscaping.

• Emphasis on light, flow, relaxation • Variable styles and exteriors, but generally white or lightly coloured • Common materials include shingles and timber
