For several years, Manhattanites Clementine Drackett and Hunter Philbrick looked for a leafy, grassy weekend retreat in the Hamptons where they could relax year-round with their young children. They rented several homes with an eye toward buying, but each one seemed to have issues — leaky ceilings, septic tank failures, uninsulated walls.
They finally found a spacious three-level house large enough for entertaining and for visits from family and friends. But they felt that the style — a barnlike post-and-beam kit house built in the 1990s — was a tad too rustic. They longed for something modern, crisp and airy.
