Port Jefferson is built into a bowl. The village sits at the bottom around a deep natural harbor, and the land climbs steeply away from the water on three sides, which is why the streets behave the way they do and why so many houses here sit well above their neighbors. The village was a shipbuilding town in the nineteenth century, and the housing from that period is still the character of the place: Victorian and late nineteenth-century frame houses on the slopes, denser building around the harbor front, and later development spreading out over the higher ground behind. The combination of steep sites and old houses is what makes the work here particular. Openings are original or near it in a great many houses, the elevations that face the harbor take the weather off it, and getting a large unit to a second-floor opening on a hillside lot is a real logistical question rather than a detail.
We plan access before specification on a Port Jefferson hillside, because a unit that cannot be carried to its opening is not a solution regardless of how well it performs. Harbor-facing elevations are specified for wind and salt separately from the sheltered ones. On the older houses sizes come from the openings and the sash proportion is matched, since on a Victorian facade the window rhythm is the design.
We will work out how each unit reaches its opening before we talk about what goes in it, which on this hill is the right order.
