Renowned Lighting Designer Lists His Completely Remodeled Hamptons Home

There are many design aspects to consider when it comes to redesigning a home—everything from color to finishes can instantly uplift a space. Of all the design concepts, however, lighting can dramatically elevate and set the mood. Newly in contract, 111 Schwenks Road is a meticulously-designed example of what happens when an expert lighting designer put his personal take on transforming a home. “Painted shutters, warm hardwood floors and French doors out to the lawn—this newly listed home in Water Mill, New York, was designed with modern farmhouse charm, plus a little something extra. The six-bedroom home, which hit the market this month for $4.275 million, is the Hamptons retreat of renowned lighting designer Nathan Orsman, who’s transformed what was once a modest two-bedroom pile into a crisply decorated, six-bedroom beach house. And an expertly lit one at that.”— Mansion Global “The owner’s talent is evident everywhere throughout the home and the entire property,” said Douglas Elliman agent Adam Hofer . Keeping in line with its classic, original design, the home has been masterfully restored and expanded on to create a bespoke residence that exudes carefree country living. Hamptons living at its best, the home offers all of the modern and luxury conveniences one could desire. “Mr. Orsman’s specialty is his use of contrast and the dark “moments” that creates to build what the designer calls “poignant and moving interiors.” That theory is also key to outdoor lighting, something for which the designer is highly sought. His fans and clients reportedly range from interior designer Bunny Williams to Food Network star Ina Garten.”— MG The property includes plenty of opportunity to create those moments both inside and outside—whether it is while you’re swimming in the gunite pool soaking up natural sunshine, or sitting outside enjoying the outdoor lighting and fire pit at night.
