Inside Mario Nievera's East Hampton, NY Home

Inspired by British gardener Russell Page, landscape architect Mario Nievera 1940s cape-style vacation home in the Hamptons-which he shares with his partner, Travis Howe-masterfully balances horticulture, architecture, and romance. An effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces encourages guests to engage with the landscape as though it’s simply another room.
The porch, added by the previous owner, allowed Nievera to further extend the space by opening the vaulted living and dining area to the garden and pool. In contrast to their curated and clean Florida home, Nievera and Howe filled their Long Island escape with quirky cork frames, tramp art, and old hand-tinted tourist maps from days of yore. Their goal was to create a space where you’re enveloped in a verdant environment where life moves slowly and everything appears as if it's always been there. The house is a "collection of everything we love-and found," says Nievera. "It’s deeply sentimental."
Nievera was apprehensive about the house's location at first-it's nestled next to a cemetery-but the quietly lush spot has been a welcome neighbor. He did, however, add a hedge around the border!

What a beautiful home inside and out. Mario's voice is very calming for me too. I simply love his home.

Beautiful ❤ Brings back memories of my Grandmothers home in East HamptonBut now we must see their Florida home!!

[@queens6583]

This is one of my favorite properties I've seen on this channel. I love the natural hedge fencing, the different areas to relax in and the sculptural pruning of the bushes, especially the round boxwoods. Mario and his partner have made a calming oasis.

[@Schumacher1889]

Wow! Such a romantic home. It’s a love story and in the end I teared up. I could actually feel all the love created. The simple simplicity of interior design and the exquisite romantic landscapes that make you want to grab a glass of wine and just walk around and explore. Just wow! Thank you 😎

A serene home. I appreciate all kinds of homes...i love formal gardens wish there was also a touch of colour and flower beds in the garden. Gorgeous home nevertheless.

[@Leviticus01]

Inside, the home has so many subtle green hues and bases which compliment the landscaping - it really drives the experience of feeling calm and soothed...(even through a screen)

Congratulations. You created a beautiful and welcoming home. Some people seem to think putting crazy wallpaper up and adding stuff makes a beautiful home. Nope you got it right......

[@trizzuto]

Stunning! As one would expect from Mario. ;-)

[@emilie658]

So beautiful. I think we´ve something in common. I like to hide things,that I find visually disturbing . Most people don´t even feel the optical nightmare, like the grilling station you hided behind a hedge. Love that,and the fun you draw out of quircky things, like the ashtrays etc. Sorry, my English is so terrible,it´s far from my first language.

[@duffy4040]

Fabulous home

[@jillt.3195]

Love the quiet vibe of the home and landscape design. I had to giggle about the comment of having the hedge around the house because of the cemetery located across the street. Is this to protect one from a Zombie attack? I kid, I kid. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

[@WhitStillman]

First the Alfredo Paredes house, and now this... Lovely stuff, Schumacher.
