Josh Manes Architecture imagines protruding and receding volumes to maximize solar energy and frame 360-degree views.
When Josh Manes and his wife, Jaclyn Jack Manes, set out to rebuild a weathered family home on Long Island, the couple wanted the new structure to be both sustainably designed and better adapted to the surrounding wetlands. The final result which merges Josh’s talents as an architect and Jack’s as a designer achieves a warm, modern look with materials that also lowered the carbon footprint of construction.
Located in Westhampton Beach on New York’s Long Island, this recently built home by Josh Manes Architecture is surrounded by preserved wetlands. The house is powered by a solar array on the rooftop while expansive windows, along with cantilevers and recessed sections, address solar heat gains.
