MONTAUK GREEN RENOVATION OF A 1960s COTTAGE ON FORT POND
This renovation breathed new life into a deteriorating 1960s cottage, preserving its grandfathered status while elevating and reinforcing the original foundation. The reimagined structure blends sustainability with thoughtful design, featuring geothermal heating, cellulose insulation, fire-resistant lumber, radiant-heated concrete, reclaimed wood floors, and solar panels. We prioritized eco-conscious choices using recycled materials, non-toxic finishes, and natural fibers throughout. In close collaboration with skilled local subcontractors and a talented designer, we created a high-performance, award-winning retreat. The client was thrilled with the transformation
