Situated just 500 feet from the Atlantic Ocean in Amagansett, New York, the Beach Hampton Residence by Bates Masi + Architects exemplifies how thoughtful design can overcome stringent zoning regulations and site constraints. Originally purchased over 40 years ago, the quarter-acre lot faced evolving state, county, and town codes that limited the buildable footprint to 15′ x 20′ and a maximum height of 25 feet above natural grade.
