Andrew Franz updates 1960s home on New York’s Fire Island
A new guesthouse and swimming pool are among the updates to a 56-year-old home on Fire Island that has been overhauled by American studio Andrew Franz Architect.
Called Fire Island House, the residence is tucked into a wooded site near the beach. The home takes its name from its location – Fire Island, a barrier island in the Atlantic Ocean that is a popular getaway spot for New Yorkers.

The project entailed the renovation and expansion of a two-storey, cedar-clad house that was designed by Florida-born architect Horace Gifford, who created dozens of beach cottages on the island. The house dates to 1965.
