Orient House IV / Ryall Porter Sheridan Architects

Orient House IV was renovated by Manhattan-based Ryall porter Sheridan architects from a 1970’s home on a north-facing slope on the beachy shores of long island. With a view overlooking the calm waterfront, Orient House IV embraces quiet reflection and peace of mind.

This House is the renovation of an existing 1970s house. Though renovated to Passive House standards of construction, the North facing views and sheets of glass prevented it from meeting Passive House energy calculations. At the time of its completion this house renovation is probably the second most energy-efficient structure on Long Island.
