OUR TEAM

Peter Sabbeth

Peter was a fine art painter in the mid 90’s when he first started designing and building luxury loft spaces in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Lofts transitioned to East End homes when the allure of the ocean beckoned. Merging his fine art sensibility with a non- traditional approach to home design, Peter became enamored with space creation and manipulation as a medium.

Modern Green Home was born. Since then, Peter and Modern Green Home have helped transform the “traditional” Hamptons building industry with dozens of projects including the 2008 Hamptons Cottages & Gardens Idea House. From an early age, Peter was submerged in construction materials through his family’s distribution business. This exposure fostered sensitivity towards incorporating sustainable materials into his designs as visits to factories and wood mills exposed him to the tremendous environmental impact of materials manufacturing.

Peter is a graduate of Tufts University, an 9-year member of the US Green Building Council, a contributing writer to the Southampton Press, a Skateboard Designer, Trans Oceanic sailor, and father of two boys. He lives in Sag Harbor.

Nilay Oza AIA

Nilay finds creative expression in the many contrasts and contradictions of his field. He is an architect who finds inspiration as a builder.  He is a consummate insider who has worked for fifteen years on the East End, yet brings an outsiders perspective as a result of his upbringing in India.  Nilay and Peter, a fellow traveller who seeks similar creative contrast.

Nilay is a LEED accredited Licensed Architect with a Masters Degree in Architecture from MIT. Nilay lives with his wife and two young daughters in Sag Harbor.

Andrew Pennacchia

Andrew joined Modern Green Home in May 2014 as a Design Build Associate after graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a Bachelor of Architecture degree with a Minor in Sustainability.

Andrew is a Long Island native who spent his summers and weekends working at his family’s Italian restaurant on the North Fork.  Andrew hopes to bring his knowledge of environmental design and building practices to Modern Green Home while maintaining the company’s vision to unify architecture with the beauty of the East End. Andrew currently resides on the South Fork and loves to travel, cook, and go fishing.
