This house was built in 1979 and is situated on Shelter Island – an island between the north and south forks of Long Island – only 2 hours from Manhattan. Andrew Corrie and Harriet Maxwell Macdonald live between there and Manhattan, with their children Ivo, Celia and Alastair.
Harriet is also one of the owners of the Ochre store in New York City. And items from the store is what have filled the home.
The intention for the interior was to keep it very simple. The walls are made of pine with a whitish grey wash over them, and the sofas are simple linens in washed out colors. It has a certain beachy feel about it, also with the collections of stones and shells along the banister.
Ochre is a small design company which consists of Joanna Bibby, Harriet Maxwell Macdonald and Solenne de la Fouchardiere.
