The Hamptons may still have a lot of old-money denizens with antique cottages, but the new tycoons (think young, rich, well-traveled) prefer modern trophy homes. We don’t mean the modest flat-roofed midcentury abodes that have mostly gone the way of the wrecking ball. We’re talking about gleaming glass palaces.

Over the past two decades Joe Criscuolo and Bill Locantro of Paramount Custom Homes have built hundreds of quality homes across Long Island.

Hosting an end of summer soirée in the sand is a favorite Hamptons tradition. Add some style with these key pieces.
Summer is in the rearview mirror, and all too soon autumn will be winding down. Winter waits in the wings. For those of us who live here year-round, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could have plants in bloom in the winter? That winter miracle is entirely possible…even easy to attain.
Size doesn’t matter, at least not if Christopher Burch is correct. Tory’s ex and the entrepreneur behind her fashion line and highly ambitious but now defunct retail chain, C. Wonder, is betting on little houses. You might think that the Hamptons, with their ego-driven mammoth mansions, would be the last place on earth to showcase a tiny, prefab (horrors!) abode.
An Amagansett electrical contractor designed the house of his dreams. No one would ever guess that the main parts came from a factory.
Vines are seldom the stars of the garden or landscape, but they play important supporting roles in many successful landscapes. Vines enhance the focal points and features of the garden, and in the right location at the right time of year can have their chance to shine, too.
