Each home remains unique with no two units replicating the same layout and the finishes can still be customized by new owners. Zyscovich implemented his vision by creating clusters of townhouses that echo the estate sections of the Hamptons as opposed to con ventional condo planning, which tends to re peat an identical unit.

Cognizant of buyers who will use Ponquogue Point as their vacation home, the architect created a plan that has incorporated spacious private outdoor areas and a Great Lawns so that residents have the feel of owning a house without the problems associated with it.
