  "It adds to the experience of arrival," says the bachelor client who wanted a peaceful escape. The property lies in an area of modest fishing cottages and salt-water inlets that remains remarkably unspoiled for the Hamptons.
  "I never built a house from scratch before," admits the client. "In some ways it's very liberating to be master of your own destiny."
  The main level is a 90-foot slab of glass and steel raised to gain water views and summer breezes. It floats like a bridge, perpendicular to the walkway. Specially fabricated screens of horizontal teak lattice break up the expanse of glass. They serve as brise soleils to block the sun along the south side and provide a modicum of privacy. A staircase is subtly concealed behind another wall of lattice and leads up to the main living area.
