KDH Real Estate: Artist Andrea Shapiro Lists Magical Modern Tree House!

SHARE

 

 

Originally trained as a graphic designer, Andrea Shapiro is drawn to simple, geometric compositions. “My paintings often consist of elements such as squares, circles, ovals and hand or ruler drawn lines. My intention is to draw viewers in with a bold first impression and then hold their attention with the subtle intricacies found in texture and multiple layers.”

 

Curating the space in which an artist creates can oftentimes be contemplated with equal importance to the work it generates. As evidenced below, every detail was considered thoughtfully in the creation of Andrea’s modern tree house in Amagansett, which she has recently decided to sell. Here’s a special look inside this artist’s world……

 

 

 

Andrea describes her haute Hamptons home for KDHamptons readers, “This house is truly my dream house, and was a real labor of love. Every detail big and small was carefully thought out from the pull down movie screen and surround sound system, to laundry chutes, hooks for wetsuits and bathing suits in all the showers, indoor & outdoor surf racks, reclaimed wood beams in the main room, and a sea grass embedded sliding barn door… The home is private, beautiful, functional and great for entertaining with a fire pit, artists studio, wrap around decking and private roof and shower.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This stylish sexy home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, chef’s kitchen complete with Thermador range & oven and Subzero refrigerator, open living and entertaining space, movie room with a surround sound system and a 92″ pull down screen, and a finished basement/ game room complete with ping pong and pool table and TONS of storage!

 

 

 

Andrea shares about her work, “I love to experiment with different tools, applications, paints and mediums. I spend a great deal of time thinking about color and draw references from nature and my surroundings. For the most part I begin my work without a clear idea of how it will look. It is the act of layering, scraping away and playing with color that unveils a welcome surprise. I influence the painting as much as the process influences me and eventually the finished piece reveals itself.”

 

 

 

Special amenities include: a steam shower in the master bath, 2 outdoor showers [one is on the roof deck which is great for sunbathing, privacy, and enjoying nature, a wood burning stove, and a powerful sound system throughout the interior & exterior of the home. The adjacent artist studio boasting 20′ ceilings and won the 2009 AIA Peconic Design Award has been featured in several magazines and online publications. The property has expansive decking surrounding the home, a formal fire pit, deer fencing and attractive outdoor lighting perched on 1.86 beautifully landscaped private acres.

 

 

IMPORTANT: The buyer of my house must be an “artist” of some nature. This can include writer, architect, fashion designer, jewelry designer, graphic designer, photographer, etc. The town is fairly flexible about this but you must have some sort of portfolio of your work.
