North Fork, otherwise known as the“un-Hamptons”, is home to this 1950s beach getaway, the Sound View Greenport.

The light colors in the rubber allow the room’s seaside views to make the space bright and fresh. Post-renovation, Sound View has been a feature in numerous magazines, like Vogue and Architectural Digest.

The 444 North Michigan multi-family project located on Chicago’s most iconic street is the perfect use of Audrey Lane‘s Waterjet Shapes.
