An East Hampton Renovation Fit for a Ship’s Captain

Abstract

Frank Selvaggi and Bill Shea bought a small cottage in Amagansett, N.Y., for about $1 million in 2015. The structure was in desperate need of work, so they hired Kyle O’Donnell, the founder of the New York-based firm Gramercy Design, to rebuild it. The design includes a new ground-floor terrace. The new terrace with a small pool and outdoor shower and rooftop terrace overlooking the dunes. The project cost about $2 million. Mr. O'Donnell was completed in June 2020. The couple, now both 62, estimated that the project cost around $2million. Now, they have no intention of moving anywhere else.
