The Floating House Water Mill Hamptons, A Cantilevered Architectural Retreat

The Floating House
Water Mill, Hamptons

A cantilevered residence that appears to leap from the hillside, hovering among the treetops. Designed by 1100 Architects, this two-bedroom, two-bath home is a study in calibrated engineering and modern restraint.

Suspended above the natural grade, the structure balances mass and void in deliberate dialogue with the surrounding woods. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and forest, creating a sense of elevation and quiet immersion. Morning light filters through the canopy, and distant ocean air reminds you how close you are to the Atlantic.

Architecture & Living

Conceived as an exploration of tension and lightness, the home is furnished entirely with curated designer pieces. Living spaces are intimate yet refined, designed for slow mornings, long conversations, and evenings surrounded by three acres of private woodland, all while positioned in the very center of the Hamptons.

A fully equipped modern kitchen with top-tier appliances anchors the space. Private chef services can be arranged. Two spa-like baths feature high-end fixtures and serene detailing. A high-end washer and dryer are included, with garment care and dry-cleaning services available upon request.

Technology & Comfort

High-speed internet supports seamless streaming and remote work.

Outdoor Experience

A mahogany deck extends into the canopy, reinforcing the home’s suspended quality. Mature woods and natural trails surround the property, with areas designed for yoga, outdoor dining, and complete relaxation. Designer outdoor furnishings create spaces for quiet reflection and a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle in a distinctly Hamptons setting.

Compound Opportunity

The Floating House can also be rented together with The Glass House, located on a separate nearby three-acre parcel. Together, the two 1100 Architect–designed homes create an exceptional Hamptons compound experience for extended families or groups seeking architectural distinction and privacy.

Location

5 minutes to the beach
5 minutes to Bridgehampton
5 minutes to Sag Harbor
10 minutes to Southampton

The positioning is rare. Just minutes to Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Southampton, and the beach, yet accessed without the main roads or traffic. It feels almost impossible. There is nothing else quite like it.

The Floating House is a rare modern retreat for those who value architecture, privacy, and the balance of ultimate Hamptons living with the serenity of nature.
