East Hampton home designed to extend occupant’s life lists for $2.5M
A unique home in East Hampton has hit the market for just under $2.5 million. Dubbed the Bioscleave House, the home was designed by artist couple Madeline Gins and Arakawa and features a 3,400-square-foot interior pulsating with bold colors, an undulating floor, odd shapes and a wide-open space. The bizarre structure and colors are meant “to stimulate the senses,” which Gins and Arakawa believed would in turn extend the occupant’s lifespan. Technically, it has four bedrooms along with two-and-a-half bathrooms. The original A-frame was designed by Carl Koch back in the 1960s and then expanded to its current form in 1999. Brown Harris Stevens’ Jose DosSantos is handling the listing. [Curbed]

Southampton official quickly withdraws his proposed moratorium on some town development
The newest member of the Southampton Town Board, Tommy John Schiavoni, withdrew his application to halt all development that could threaten the town’s water supply, 27East reported. He pulled his proposal on Thursday, six days before it was due for a vote. Originally, he wanted a six-month moratorium. Critics worried the measure would complicate a $100 million lawsuit filed against the town by the Discovery Land Corporation earlier this year. The board had rejected Discovery’s proposal for “The Hills at Southampton” in East Quogue which would bring 118-home subdivision and golf course. The board believed it’d threaten the town’s water supply and the developers are now trying to reapply with a different plan. Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said it would be impossible for the town to rule on the new application if the moratorium were in place.
