At a Martha's Vineyard compound, Steven Gambrel and Tom Kligerman have made a guest retreat so good, visitors may never want to leave.

You Stay Here

When a large seafront parcel of land went up for sale on Martha's Vineyard, its neighbors, who had lived next door for three decades, immediately scooped it up. The husband and wife-who have grown children-seized the opportunity to expand their property and, soon after, to create a place where visiting friends and family could gather.

To bring to life their vision for a guest residence, the family enlisted the expertise of ELLE DECOR A-List Titan Steven Gambrel, who took charge of the interiors, and A-List architect Tom Kligerman, a longtime friend of the family who had previously worked on other buildings on the estate. Their goal was to conceive peaceful spaces that seamlessly meld with the landscape and the greater context of the historic island.

The house is a masterfully layered composition. "It's one building, but it's designed to look like two," Kligerman says. To wit: What initially appears to be separate structures-a quaint, long-established saltbox and a nearby garage are part of an expansive single edifice that subtly blends into the hillside.

Between the two "buildings," an outdoor kitchen complete with a pizza oven is a crucial tool for the family's annual make-your-own pizza parties. Guests easily flow from the screened porch, across the patio with its wide sea views, and into the great room and its kitchenette.

And How! - Decorator Nick Olsen transforms a Sag Harbor home into a Hamptons retreat with an irreverent humor.

If you must go to the Hamptons, however-because it is devilishly good fun, after all-you may notice an apparently modest, low-slung cottage on Sag Harbor's Main Street and think, with a comfortable sort of feeling, Now that is how a house should look. Nestled amid the Botox bars, helipads, and club-staurants, it could almost set the sordid world aright both a rebuke and a solution to the chaos that surrounds it. A real home.

But This is My Home - One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse.

One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse. My husband and I moved into the Kallis House in Los Angeles six years ago. It was designed in 1946 by the modernist architect Rudolph Schindler, and it's believed by many, including Frank Gehry, to be among Schindler's best. The house is eccentric, perched on the lip of a hill, with a butterfly roof and a shaggy exterior made of grape stakes. The interior is an unfolding series of surprising angles, with a wonderful wide view of the San Fernando Valley.
