Sited on a narrow, one acre, oceanfront lot, the design of this house was one of the first projects in the Village of Sagaponack to be affected by the 2010 revision to FEMA flood elevations, requiring a first floor elevation of approximately 17 feet above sea level with a maximum height allowance of 40? and all construction required to be located landward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Line.  The location within a high velocity (VE) wind zone added to the planning and structural challenges.
