With help from the landscape architect arnemaynard, jordan_roth and Richie_Jackson imbued their Long Island retreat with color, light, and no small sense of drama.
THE MIDAFTERNOON quiet is pierced by the gentle crackle of toddler chatter. “Is he up?” Jordan Roth asks his husband, Richie Jackson, who checks his phone. On the screen is a grainy video of their towheaded three-year-old, Levi, standing at the side of his crib. Jackson rises from the living-room sofa to fetch him. It is a bright late-summer Sunday, and the couple have just said goodbye to 10 weekend houseguests after a heaping lunch of chicken Milanese, calamari, and cucumber-watermelon salad.
“You have a sense of history here in the trees and in these original homes, which I find so moving,” says Roth. A renovation was needed—“original but better,” Roth says, explaining their approach to the 1899 home, designed by Joseph Greenleaf Thorpe, whose more famous summer cottage, Grey Gardens, is just down the road. “I think that’s the art of these restorations: fixing but not taking any of the character and charm away.
Maynard began as he does all his projects, by driving around the neighborhood to see the local architecture and plantings, picking up on the preponderance of dogwoods and rhododendrons. “I wanted to incorporate that language,” he says. He also added holly and Fastigiate beeches to mirror glimpses of bordering yards.
