This modern beach gem in South Hampton was more than just a summer home for the clients.

Natural shades of taupe and beige were chosen for many of the furnishings and accents from the marble hearth and mantle to the flanking light-wood built-in bookcases and fabrics chosen for the sofas, chairs, and custom rug.
