This thoughtfully reimagined [waterfront landscape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-on-the-lake) on the East End balances contemporary living with natural beauty through [native plantings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-landscape-architecture), carefully crafted outdoor spaces, and resilient shoreline strategies. The Sag Harbor Bay project is located on a heavily wooded, sloping waterfront site and required careful planning to preserve the surrounding [Oak and Cedar Forest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaoxita-forest-park), with buildings, walkways, terraces, and the pool all positioned to follow the natural contours of the land and integrate seamlessly into the existing topography. A single variety of granite, hand-selected from a local New York quarry, was digitally surveyed and modelled using 3D scanning technology to ensure precise placement.
