Milillo Residence

Sands Point, New York
United States

Through the addition of a new glass pavilion for the daily living, cooking, and dining activities, this 1950s ranch house was brought into the 21st century and integrated with the landscape. The glass pavilion ties into a series of terraces, gardens, swimming pool, and outdoor living spaces.

HLB’s scope included both interior and exterior lighting to carefully tie the indoors and outdoors together. The living room’s feature wall is grazed from above the ceiling through the introduction of a discreet slot, defining the strong texture of the stone. In-ground uplights around the perimeter glass wall provide a soft glow on the extensive brow. Minimal recessed downlights and accent lights highlight seating, dining, and kitchen areas below. The outdoor pergola is illuminated by discrete cylinder downlights tucked between slats, while the pool area is accented by step lights.
