Frédéric and Marie Malle, living in the Hamptons, built a beach home as a realization of long-held dreams despite climate change concerns. They chose a location with a view of the Great Peconic and hired architect Annabelle Selldorf for the project. Frédéric, a renowned perfumer previously involved in architecture through his businesses, expresses both his love for design and the complexities of maintaining property in a changing environment, emphasizing a balance between beauty and practical risks of oceanfront living.
"It was always my dream to have a place on a beach," says Frédéric, reflecting on the psychological costs of oceanfront living amid climate change threats.
"I would have loved to have been an architect," notes Frédéric, who has collaborated with many architects over the years, showcasing a deep appreciation for design.
