The living room fireplace recapitulates the Gothic theme of the windows. For the owner of Ravenseye, restoring it according to Gesner’s original plan was a priority. Photo by Juergen Nogai -

White paint now covers the exterior walls of the Cooper Wave house, and the beach has shrunk over the decades since the house was built (1957–59), which has forced the current owners to construct new supports in the form of massive concrete caissons now visible below the deck. Despite the changes, the original concept of the three dynamic vaults, or “waves,” of the roofline still resonates. Photo by Juergen Nogai
