The pool house framing is up at our Westhampton Beach Residence: a steel moment frame with a low horizontal profile and open bays that will become the covered terrace shown in the rendering. When complete, a large, raised terrace will wrap the pool on both sides, shaded by an open wood pergola and screened by vertical slatted fencing, with views across the private lawn and out to the water beyond.

A family compound on a tidal inlet in Westhampton Beach is rising from the ground up. The site holds four structures: a main house, guest house, garage, and pool house, organized around a shared central courtyard rather than a single dominant volume, giving the compound a village-like logic: distinct places to gather, retreat, and move between.

A breezeway connects the guest house to the main house, a covered pass-through that frames the courtyard on one side and the lawn on the other. The guest house rises two stories, its gabled form wrapped in vertical wood siding and anchored by large-format windows overlooking the future lawn. More to come!

Construction is underway with East West Construction.

At in Hampton Bays, a 100-foot glass wall opens the cedar-lined interior directly onto a stepped terrace and a 75-foot infinity pool overlooking Peconic Bay, blurring the boundaries between inside and out. Cedar runs unbroken from ceiling to soffit, carrying the same material logic across the threshold. The house itself sits low in the hillside, sited deliberately to protect a centuries-old sycamore, with a native meadow grass roof that reads as bluff when viewed from the approach.

Lean by design, not by default.
Colin Brice on why Mapos's model, a trusted core team backed by project-specific specialists, is exactly the right structure for this market moment.

The first residence at South Hill is in the home stretch!

Framed against an open Upstate New York ridgeline, the gabled volume is taking shape, with a wood deck running the full length of the south facade, a pool surround in progress, and the landscape work beginning to catch up with the structure.

Inside, the vaulted maple ceiling is complete, oak cabinetry is set, and the wood-burning stove anchors the living room against a dark tile surround.

South Hill is Mapos's first ground-up residential community.
More to come!

At Kirkside, Mapos issued an interim demolition set before completing construction documents, a deliberate step that gave the entire design team access to information that only the building itself could provide.

With the finishes stripped back, the structural engineer could read the actual roof slopes, foundations, and bearing walls. The MEP engineer could see the attic spaces and identify viable chases for equipment. And Mapos, as architects, could make adjustments informed by what's actually there, including new bathroom locations that emerged directly from what the demo revealed.

In adaptive reuse, especially in buildings of this age and complexity, this kind of sequencing isn't a detour. It's the work. The construction documents being completed now reflect a design tested against the actual structure, not just the assumed one.

In a building that has been added to, modified, and adapted across roughly 150 years, the existing structure holds information that no drawing can fully anticipate. Pulling back the layers at Kirkside has been as much an act of discovery as it has been demolition.

A dropped ceiling was removed to expose collar ties, now the bones of a new vaulted guest room. A small dormer that opens into a much larger volume above, creating the perfect conditions for a tucked-away bed nook. An original fireplace and bay window, intact beneath decades of finish work, ready to anchor a new double-height reading room and lounge. Old eaves and rooflines, once exterior, now revealed indoors, and worth keeping exactly as found.

Introducing Kirkside!

The 19th-century Helen Gould mansion in Roxbury, NY, layered with additions, modifications, and decades of adaptation, is now the subject of a full reimagination by Mapos, in close collaboration with the local MARK Project.

The vision isn't just a renovation. It's a community investment. Working alongside local residents, business owners, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and farmers through a series of regenerative design sessions, Mapos developed a program to transform the historic estate into an engine for economic growth in the Catskills region.

The Inn at Kirkside will become a boutique hotel and restaurant with 9 guest suites, a teaching kitchen, a restaurant and cocktail bar/café, a double-height library lounge, and a community center, all woven into the intimate rooms of a mansion that has been waiting for exactly this kind of purpose.

The exterior already hints at the richness inside: stacked dormers, quirky lattice windows, and volumes that accumulated over generations.

CD's in progress. Construction begins in late June.

At Peconic House, the clients made one thing clear from the start: no painted sheetrock surfaces anywhere in the home. Only true materials, left to patina naturally over time.

Inside, that means cedar and white oak from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. A mudroom lined entirely in the same wood as the rooms it connects, with custom cabinetry, shelving, a bench, and ceiling running in continuous grain. A window seat carved into cedar, with a tall, narrow opening that frames the pool, the lawn, and Peconic Bay in a single vertical cut.

At Peconic House, the material palette starts outside.
Corten steel and cedar siding meet at a clean horizontal line, two materials chosen not for how they look on day one, but for how they'll look in ten years. The oxidized steel deepens in the salt air. The cedar silvers. The house becomes more itself over time, not less.
