Inside Frederico Azevedo’s Sag Harbor Sanctuary

Inside Frederico Azevedo’s Sag Harbor Sanctuary

Known for transforming the Hamptons’ gardens into living works of art, landscape designer Frederico Azevedo brings his signature harmony between nature and structure to his own backyard. After nearly three decades, the founder of Unlimited Earth Care embarked on a renovation that honored the soul of the original property while evolving it to fit the next chapter of his life.

 

Frederico, what sparked the idea to renovate your home in Sag Harbor vs. purchasing a new one?

 

I love the piece of property I’m on, and when I first came here and saw that there were farms along the road and woodlands all around, I knew the soil was fertile and would respond well to the plants and flowers I wanted to grow. I’ve been designing and reworking this property for 30 years now. My two children, Lorenzo and Livia, were raised here; they visit often and are attached to the house and the land, so my intention was to create something that felt entirely new, a fresh start, without losing the heart of my home. My guests always joke that I have a deal with the hummingbirds and butterflies to visit my house, and perhaps I do, in a way, because of my gardens, so I wouldn’t want to break that.

 

What was your vision for the space when you began?

 

When I first came to America, my dream was to have the traditional American life—a black Labrador, a pickup truck, and a colonial American house. I originally built this house in 1996 and moved in the following year. The concept was a modern interpretation of colonial American architecture, for a modern American life—still including my black Lab and pickup truck, of course! My vision was to update the house to suit my lifestyle now.

 

What’s the inspiration behind the home?

 

In all four seasons, I like to be outdoors. I want to be outside, so the kitchen now extends into an outdoor kitchen, which leads to a pergola for entertaining and enjoying meals outdoors. The pool is adjacent, framed in colorful flowers. The outdoor kitchen is covered by a ceiling and is heated, which has been wonderful. This year in the late winter and early spring, we were already enjoying meals outdoors. Being able to spend time outdoors even when it’s colder allows me to enjoy my home to the fullest. The flow between the indoor and outdoor areas all feels efficient and intentional.

What’s your favorite feature of the house?

 

One interesting feature is that the entrance area of the house is designed to look like the exterior siding of the house, so the effect is as if you folded the house inside out. It’s an expressive nod to my approach as a designer, to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside and to bring life outdoors.

 

Who was your decorator? 

 

Shawn Leonard was the architect, and the interior and of course the exterior gardens and landscaping I designed myself.

 

How would you describe your design aesthetic in three words?

 

Simplicity, consistency, and luminosity.

If you could design a dream home anywhere else in the world, where would it be and what would it look like?

 

This is my dream home now; it’s beyond what I dreamed it could be actually. I also believe I already have my dream homes in Manhattan, Hudson, and Miami. I feel lucky to wake up in my dream home every day now.

  • Whether you are walking the fast-paced streets of New York City or taking a leisurely beach stroll in the Hamptons, there’s a slight chance you might run into Elias Friedman, known online as “The Dogist.” His adoration of dogs, combined with his passion for photography, has led him to gain over 7 million followers on Instagram. The audience at his recent Guild Hall show reflects how much people truly love their dogs and how Elias does so much more than simply take picture-perfect dog portraits. He can capture the beautiful bond between man and his best friend. His book, This Dog Will Change Your Life, is already a New York Times bestseller. Guild Hall’s lobby was filled with fans excited to get their copy signed.⁠
⁠
His guests included local dog lovers and friends of ARF (Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons). Attendees had front-row seats to a “Dogist”-style encounter: a casual conversation about how the dog entered the owner’s life, followed by a quick photo shoot revealing Elias’ methods for capturing the dog’s attention (hint: It’s dog noises and treats).⁠
⁠
I had the pleasure of talking to Elias about how “The Dogist” came to be, rescue organizations, and the Hamptons.⁠
⁠
⁠
Let’s go back to the beginning. What inspired you to dive into photography?⁠
⁠
We had a dark room because my dad was an amateur photographer, and I’d always liked cameras and gadgets. We had a couple of Labrador retrievers who were sort of my first muses and would happily sit for pictures. I was taking dog pictures from a young age and then fast forward to 2012 in New York City I was let go from my job and saw what other street photographers were doing like Humans of New York and The Sartorialist and thought why isn’t someone doing that for dogs and I thought I wanted to be the person, I dusted off my camera and the rest is kind of history. It took off pretty quickly because it turns out people like dogs just as much as I do.⁠
