Montauk Lake Remodel Realizes Potential of Lakeside Location
This remodeled vacation house by the side of Lake Montauk in New York comes from Murdock Young Architects.
With the new elegant and pared down remodel, the interior has a new loft-like and airy feel, due to its very light palette of just grey and white, and the vast open spaces.
Sun-bleached gray driftwood is used to make the storage units that divide the space.
The new kitchen has the clean lines of commercial kitchens in pared down stainless steel and white.
The floors are simply wooden planks painted gray. The walls and furniture are stark white.
The honed driftwood is used both inside and out, creating a beach-cottage-style flow between the interiors and exteriors.
Previously, the exterior was of a mundane suburban house. Many houses built in the region in the ’40s and ‘5os almost ignored the lake views.
The remodel capitalizes on its waterfront location to realize it as a haven for the holidays.

The exposed ceiling rafters and driftwood give this home such an elegantly casual feel. I also love all the windows and sliding glass doors that take advantage of the areas natural lighting. Very beautiful.
