MONTAUK BEACH SHACK
Montauk, NY
TLC completed the contracting on this Montauk Beach Shack, designed by Robert and Cortney Novogratz. The double-wide prefab from Hi-Tech Housing was installed on a lot in Montauk Shores.
The Novogratz’s sought to transofrm the “generic white box prefab” into a “cozy surfer paradise,” says Dwell Magazine.
The exterior spaces included custom wood seating elements.
The siding of the shack is stacked ipe wood, which comes standard with different but complementary colorations and gives the home a beachy feel. The new home had to be built off-site, as Montauk Shores’ required all new-builds to be transported in complete.
Once the pre-fab was complete, it was shipped in and installed in two parts atop an existing foundation. TLC quickly got to work on the interior woodwork, tile, plumbing and finishes.
Bright and light kitchen and baths were installed once the pre-fab was delivered. The kitchen features large windows and sliding doors that open up onto the wood deck.
