Outdoor, Back Yard, Trees, Shrubs, Small Patio, Porch, Deck, and Wood Patio, Porch, Deck 266 Bay Walk by Horace Gifford (1968). Gifford wrote of the house, also encapsulating his work as an architect, that "The outstanding feature of the house is that we did not diminish the beauty of the site in any way. Glass tends not to enclose—that's why we used so much of it." Photo 5 of 9 in 9 Modern Beach Bungalows from Must-See Modern Beach Houses on Fire Island Tour
