Come with us on a tour of fashion stylist Tiina Laakkonen and husband Jon Rosen's Hamptons Compound. Blue is a color that predominates both indoors and out, where the water in the swimming pool competes against a riotous sky-colored hedge of hydrangeas for the title “Most Blue.”

A swath of green lawn connects the two blue elements in the landscape.

A pitch pine provides a dramatic focal point in the gently sloped lawn.

The pool area settles in nicely with the surrounding woodlands.

Polished concrete floors and sliding doors connect indoors with outdoors.

The compound includes a guest barn, living barn, and main bedroom barn.

A ribbon driveway with a mown grass strip curves gently, following the contours of the land.

Irregularly shaped stone pavers add a note of informality.
