Architect Richard Meier designed Steamboat Landing, a 1971 3-acre estate on Long Island's north shore. The waterfront five-bedroom main house features a double-height living room with columns, exposed ducts, clerestory window, glass wall, fireplace, and loft; an attached three-story corkscrew escape slide; and Hempstead Bay views.
Jack Stehling formed this 1970 house from two glass cubes. The renovated five-bedroom home has a rosewood-paneled, skylit conversation pit, a marble-and-glass primary bath with amoeba tub, and a chef's kitchen with an island connected by a deck to the three-story glass atrium.
Spector Group created this four-bedroom home in 1979 on a 4.2-acre' 70s-modern estate about 15 minutes from downtown. The house features three shed roofs with clerestory windows, a living room with a wall of glass, a roomy kitchen and breakfast area with saltillo tile floors, and a finished lower level with office, gym, en suite bedroom, and flex space.
The update to this 1971 five-bedroom home retained its characteristic period details. The house has glass walls, cork floors, a double-doored entry with slatted screens, a vaulted, sunken living room centered on a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, an eat-in chef's kitchen with a pantry, and a 1,200-bottle wine cellar.
