Sagaponac House 24 is a structure that both blends and separates open and closed areas, interior and exterior spaces, the amorphous and the angular in its design. For example, the open, column-free volume that contains the living sections of the house is clearly separated from the closed-off and private bedrooms sheathed in plated, angular metal panels. The living area that is also positioned over the service area and open to the outdoors through a continuous glass wall, allows for a more free-form utilization of space.

The focus of the interior living space is the kitchen. Adjoining the main room are smaller spaces in which to read, nap, or sit by a fire. Enclosed by a free-form truss roof that allows for clerestory windows around the perimeter, this amorphous part of the house is grounded to the site by stairs and terraces. To complete the house, an elevated screen porch serves as a place to socialize and enjoy the pool and tennis court from within. The porch is protected by an angular roof similar to the forms at the opposite end of the house.
