Hamptons Style Specialists
dion seminara architects are experienced in transforming homes of various original styles into a Hampton’s style whilst maintaining those elements that are most suitable for our climate. If you are in the market for a new custom home design, Hampton style, then our team can deliver the home of your dreams.
Hampton style house designs have become increasingly popular throughout South East Queensland over the past few years. But whilst these homes are popular summertime retreats in the U.S. they are not exactly suited to our subtropical climate. Careful planning and design adaptation is required to create a Hampton style home that is both stunning and practical.
To help with planning your Hamptons Style home we have created a Project Planning Pack that is perfect for moving through the research phase of starting a new project. You can download this workbook using the link below.
Explained
Elements of a Well-Designed Hamptons Home
Hampton style homes get their name from the popularity of this style of home in the Hamptons, Long Island, New York. They are impressive looking homes that are popular with those that like to entertain, or simply enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
Integration
Holistic Design
These homes are designed in such a way that the outdoor undercover areas effectively become an extension of the interior of the home. Movement in and out of the home is not only effortless but often unnoticeable as the openings are wide and the floor finishes tend to carry through from the interior into the wide verandas. The floor finishes themselves can be polished timber or tiles.
We find that the key to creating the perfect Hampton’s style home is to ensure that all parts of the property are designed to work together. Our holistic design approach to exterior architecture, interior design and landscape design perfectly lends itself to this style of home.
Climatic considerations
Adapting the Hampton Style for Queensland
Whilst Hampton style homes are often referred to as ‘summer homes’ they don’t really lend themselves to our subtropical climate, at least not in their traditional form. So to get the Hampton’s style look, but in a form that suits our climate year round, you need an architect who has the skills to blend the style of the home with the eco-friendly functionality that South East Queensland requires. We have a great understanding of eco-friendly home design, cross-flow ventilation and how to take advantage of natural lighting and can adapt the Hampton’s style to suit the Brisbane climate.
