"When she moved to New York City six years ago, she quickly realized it's "a very crazy place." So she would fly off to Bali twice a year to find some solace and to design collections for her celebrity-beloved fashion brand Bronx and Banco. In her search for a creative retreat a bit closer to home, she soon landed on the east end of Long Island."
"The house De'Banco found was dated and hardly an architectural gem, but it had potential-and a tree. "When I saw that gorgeous pink cherry blossom in front of the house-it was on my birthday-I think that was when I made the decision." A new home en situ on a great piece of land but calling to be reimagined demands a skilled designer. De'Banco discovered AD PRO Directory firm Helena Clunies-Ross Design on Instagram. A former interior designer herself, she felt an instant kinship with Clunies-Ross."
Natalie De'Banco sought a nearby creative retreat after moving to New York and traveling to Bali for design solace. Her Australian upbringing by the ocean informed a preference for water and wooded nature, which she found in East Hampton. The purchased house was dated but featured a pink cherry blossom that sealed the decision. De'Banco found Helena Clunies-Ross Design on Instagram and hired the firm. The renovation included a full side addition, reimagined windows and architecture, an extended basement, and significant attention to the main façade, with a focus on connecting interior spaces to the surrounding forested landscape.
