Multi Shipping Container Home The Hamptons New York Summer House

Multi Shipping Container Home - The Hampton's, New York, - Summer House,

This 17,000 sq. ft. (1.600 m2) villa is located in a privileged area in the South-Hamptons with the sea surrounding the plot on two 2 different sides. The house belongs to a couple who uses the house during the summer with their relatives and friends. The family’s passion for boats inspires the way the house gets integrated with the site as well as the seascape.

The impressive views of the surroundings as well the outdoor activities are also main factors for the final massing of the villa. The separation of the diverse activities happening in the house as well as the flexibility required for multiple events create the relationship among the different area of the villa: the house grows from the center like a Swiss-knife with parts that contain different spaces and programs yet can be used all combined.

Tumbleweed Fencl in New York

Me on the front porch of the Fencl

My photos don't do it justice, but the Fencl is a great leap forward in terms of a sense of spaciousness within a small footprint. For those familiar with the Tumbleweed Epu, this is essentially the same floor plan, but with a small bump-out near the entry, and a vaulted ceiling over the primary living space. This results in a small expansion of usable indoor space, which many would argue is a significant improvement all by itself. It's the vaulted ceiling though that creates the increased sense of spaciousness.
You can learn a lot more about the house in the pictures, and all of Jay Shafer's other designs by visiting this website:

The Fencl

Funny story... Jay Shafer's Tumbleweed Tiny Homes have fascinated me since I first discovered them more than decade ago. I'm on the east coast and he's on the west coast though, so I never had the chance to attend any of his open houses in California.

Fencl, Side View

About a year and a half ago he towed the house model in the photos, called the Fencl, across the country making numerous stops, including just outside New York City.

Outside of the Fencl

My wife and I went there to see him and his house. It was my second meeting with Jay because I'd attended one of his workshops in NYC a year or two earlier.

The Fencl

Traveling from Connecticut to New York and back that day involved many hours of riding on trains, subways, taxis, and waiting around for long periods of time in various stations along the way.

Kitchen

Between travel and waiting, the round-trip must have taken six hours.

After taking some pictures, making some small talk, and exploring the Fencl, I overheard someone asking Jay if he was planning to tow the tiny house all the way back to California. He said he was planning on towing the Fencl to his in-law's house and leaving it there for awhile.

Fencl Sleeping Loft

Guess where it turned out his in-laws lived? The same town we live in, and he was bringing it there the next day!
