SOUTHAMPTON LAIR

Nestled in the woods, along the side of a slope, a 1972 house built by famed architect Eugene Futterman was an architectural gem awaiting its revitalization. Drawing on interiors that had left an imprint on him, including the exquisite lairs featured in the James Bond films of his youth, Godbold reimagined this once forgotten home.

Much like Goldfinger’s lair, stainless steel is utilized throughout—from the furniture to the hardware. Mayan Ziggurat temples served as the basis for the living room fireplace, and the hanging garden was inspired by the work of Paul Rudolph (specifically, his angled walls).

Open space is essential to any good bachelor pad, allowing for ease of entertainment. While the primary bathroom walls have been removed to improve the flow on the top floor, the floors themselves have been raised to create a floating look. Similarly, a new exterior staircase mimics the appearance of floating lily pads over the green ground covers. Ian Fleming would no doubt approve.
