Houses at Sagaponac, 11 Years Later

Next week there will be much more on this topic in <a href="http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5959827/list/8-Modern-Hamptons-Homes-Buck-Convention">an article I wrote for Houzz</a>, but here are some photos and information I put together from a recent drive out to the Hamptons, seeing the Houses at Sagaponac development. When first announced in 2001 by developer Harry "Coco" Brown and architect Richard Meier, the plan included 32 modern houses on 70 acres on the east end of Long Island.
