Designed by Leroy Street Studio, the Cube House is located beside Westhampton Beach in Long Island. The house was designed for multiple generations of a family, who wanted large spaces for entertaining and cosy areas for relaxing in privacy. Flood danger and a footprint restriction led to the elevated cube-like design.

"Conceived of as a floating cube perched on timber piles, hovering over the wetlands, the house is a deceivingly simple platonic mass that conceals a complex multi-level dwelling and exterior spaces within its volume," said Leroy Street Studio, which provided both design and build services for the project.
