Richard Meier completed it in 1969. It is located by the Atlantic Ocean in East Hampton, New York. The Saltzman House is made of concrete and glass. Meier in this work uses his unique white exterior and geometric themes. Exterior is rounded and simple. There is a long outdoor bridge that connects to a sleek sharp guest house. The upper floors seem to be elevated or floating compared to the lower level. This is shown by Meier’s style of space. Also railings and large windows add to the simplicity. According to Meier’s the building is 2D from far away. Though being simple, the style gives a futuristic feel for the 1960s.
