• A House That Survived Hurricane Sandy Gets a New Chapter on Fire Island (contemporist.com) — A rebuilt Surf Road home in Ocean Beach shows how Fire Island's strict coastal rules can still produce a relaxed, view-filled beach house. The expanded, elevated design adds a second story, more bedrooms, and generous decks while echoing local dunes and boardwalks in its cedar details. It's a glimpse into how post-Sandy architecture is reshaping the island's housing.
