Aluminum Systems
MINIMAL LOOK SL52 HI²

At the eastern border of East Hampton, where the forest lowers its gaze to the ocean, 8 Barnes emerges quietly into the natural landscape. An architectural project that aspires not to coerce, but to merge - a residence that seems to have always belonged there.

Boasting clean lines and a refined aesthetic, the residence follows the principle of minimalism, letting the environment "speak". The open, column-free interiors extend the full width of the building, while the floor-to-ceiling panoramic sliding windows blur the boundaries of the interior and the exterior.

MATERIALS WITH MEMORIES

Inside, the Calacata Gold marble and the fossil oak kitchen offer luxury derived from simplicity. European wood flooring, custom bathrooms with Carrara Extra marble elements and the overall material palette exude refinement, not vanity.

ALUMINUM AS MEANS FOR ESCAPISM

At the heart of this dialogue with nature, the MINIMAL LOOK SL52 HI² system serves as an invisible connector. Slim profiles and unobstructed sightlines provide the thermal and structural performance a modern home demands—without sacrificing visual purity. Light, air, and views become the building blocks themselves.

8 BARNES: A RESIDENCE THAT AGES GRACEFULLY

Covering roughly 12,000 sq ft of living space on a 1 acre lot, the home was conceived as a seasonal retreat yet lives as a full time lifestyle. A terrace with an infinity pool gazes into the pines, subterranean gardens root the house in place, and seamless integration with the surroundings fosters a perfect balance of architecture and nature.

8 Barnes doesn't shout; it whispers. It is a work that captures the power of the simple and the intelligence of the simple. A dwelling that respects the landscape, integrates with the flow of light and time, and ultimately, becomes part of it.
