In the Zeidlers’ living room, a sliding door allows
the couple, who have been married 54 years and have four
grown children and three grandchildren, to meld the interior
with the courtyard, creating an outdoor living room that
is shielded from ocean gusts.
The view from the courtyard is apparitional, with a bluish-gray
Rheinzink stair tower, which leads to a roof terrace, intersecting
a white cube that appears to hover in midair, supported only
by glass.
Like the courtyard, where the couple recently barbecued
steak for 60, the roof terrace sees heavy use, including
family gatherings on July 4 to watch small-town fireworks
up and down the coast. “We always have drinks over
the ocean at sunset, with the fireplace going and a barbecue,” says
Leland Zeidler, of the eponymous menswear company (the couple
also own a home in the Dordogne region of France). “We
just have great times up there. For us, owning a house like
this is something to share. You’re the caretaker.”
