Architect R. Scott Bromley's Hamptons Legacy Lives On
Architect R. Scott Bromley, renowned for his beach houses across Fire Island, reflects on his early Hamptons designs. Despite changes, his first house remains relevant, while his second retains his original style.
Bromley began his Hamptons journey working for Philip Johnson. His first house, though much altered now, still echoes his design philosophy. Meanwhile, his second house, built for Albert M. White, stands as a testament to his original vision.
Bromley's style is marked by clean lines and natural materials. The second house, featuring a catwalk over the living room and a peephole window, showcases his unique flair. Bromley's influence extends beyond the Hamptons; he co-designed the iconic Studio 54 in 1977.
Bromley's Hamptons houses, despite changes to the first, continue to reflect his design aesthetic. The second house, unaltered, stands as a pure representation of his architecture today.
