When the kids grow up but haven’t yet totally left the nest, sometimes said nest needs to grow. These days, most people are also home all the time, so what used to feel like enough space suddenly, well, doesn’t. Thus it was for a family and their summer home on Lake Agawam in Southampton, New York. They turned to interior designer Markham Roberts, who had worked on the home years ago, for a reboot. “The kids are older now and much more independent with their friends. We all needed our own spaces so we wouldn’t be on top of each other,” says his client.
