Project Summary

DAE provided structural and septic engineering for this award-winning residence in East Hampton, recognized for its modern architectural expression and innovative corner cantilever design.
Azurest Legacy - Front Full House

Engineering Challenges


A defining feature of the home is its sharp corner cantilever, framed with a precisely engineered steel truss system. This element serves both structural and aesthetic functions, creating a dramatic floating effect while maintaining stability. The integration of full-height corner glazing introduced added complexity, requiring detailed analysis to manage both gravity and lateral deflections for proper window performance.

DAE’s structural solution achieved both design intent and engineering precision, contributing to the project’s recognition with a 2024 AIA Long Island Archi Award.
