Jim Smiros

Smiros & Smiros Architects approach residential design both as an art and a framework for living. Classical principles quietly shape spaces that feel intuitive, balanced, and enduring. Led by partner Jim Smiros, the firm’s work spans from Manhattan to the Hamptons, with a focus on high-end homes that blend timeless architectural language with the evolving needs of modern life. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that a home should do more than shelter—it should restore, elevate, and bring people together.

At this Huntington Bay project, the philosophy is fully realized. Perched on a bluff with sweeping 270-degree water views, the home was envisioned as if it had always belonged to the landscape—a natural extension of the North Shore’s architectural heritage. From the initial site planning to the most refined interior details, every decision reflects a disciplined attention to proportion, flow, and livability. Central to the design is a pavilion-like living space that captures light, air, and horizon, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out while maintaining a sense of intimacy.

Carlisle Wide Plank Floors’ Engineered Walnut in Heirloom Grade grounds the home with warmth and quiet sophistication. The 10" wide planks, with their natural variation and generous lengths, complement the architecture’s classical foundation while enhancing the home’s relaxed, coastal elegance. Together, the collaboration results in a space that feels effortless yet deeply considered—a home designed not just to be lived in, but to evolve alongside the lives within it.
