East Quogue, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/23/2019 -- Overview
Many lifestyle and home experts often point to the Hamptons as having one of the best collections of exquisite houses and estates in the world, while also doubling as a leading summer destination for wealthy homeowners. As such, the string of communities in the Hamptons became known as gleaming pedestals for leading architects to exhibit their design aesthetics. Though the hamlets in Hamptons are known for their 'Old World', shingle style houses, contemporary homes sporting sharper, more distinct aesthetics have been built in the area in recent years.
Architects, professionally, carry responsibilities that have serious ramifications: not only are they concerned with the design and the surroundings of their subject site, but also the safety of those who will construct the building, and of those who live in it. The best architects understand the aesthetics and functionality of a structure, and how it will affect its occupants' lifestyles.
