Nina Edwards Anker of nea studio, has completed the Cocoon House in Long Island, New York.

The house received its name due to the walls that form a Cocoon shape towards the northern and western neighbors. The rounded enclosed half of the house provides shelter and privacy, while the cedar shingle cladding blends in with the architectural material palette of the historic neighborhood.

The glass side of the house, facing south, takes in ocean breezes and open views. Colorful skylights range from vermilion red to deep yellow, and provide a pop of color for the home.

A hallway off the kitchen is washed with color from the skylights above. In summer, the sliding doors can be opened to allow the breeze to flow through the home, while in winter, the glass facade collects heat from the southern sun, keeping the home warm.
