2023 Best of Year Winner for Small Residential Transformation
Timothy Godbold’s nonprofit, Hamptons 20 Century Modern, aims to preserve period dwellings throughout the costal area. This one has special significance: Along with partner architect Sea Lodge, Godbold transformed it into a 1,700-square-foot dream house for himself, replete with rough-finish stucco walls, built-in planters, and geometric furnishings. The designer calls it his lair, a nod to the title (and subject matter) of a favorite book showcasing great secret hideouts of movie villains. One was the cliff-top residence of the antagonist in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, a made-up structure that sparked the designer’s very real love of mid-century architecture. Other personal fascinations that are among the hodgepodge of influences: ziggurats, science fiction, and Godbold’s own childhood home in Australia, which was by a Swedish modernist.
