It’s not every day that an interior designer has the opportunity to shape a home from the ground up. So when Deborah Heimowitz was asked recently to create the interiors for a new house in Water Mill, she worked diligently with her clients to refine architectural and material choices at every step along the way. “The three of us worked like a team,” says Heimowitz. “We added to and deleted from the builder’s spec sheet, repositioned certain elements, and offered input on details.” The result is a family weekend home that suits her longtime clients to a T.

Heimowitz’s eclectic approach is easily justified. “The house reminds me of a Cotswolds cottage, yet it’s at the beach,” she says. “Most people assume that if you have a 100-year-old carriage house, you’re going to furnish it in a very traditional way, but I felt like I had an opportunity to interpret things differently.” After all, she adds, “it’s not your typical house.”
