The home known as Pyramid House is immediately recognizable even among the modernist homes, many of them memorable local landmarks with “names” of their own that have defined the Fire Island Pines since the 1960s. Designed by Buenos Aires-born architect Julio Kaufman, the house at 443 Sail Walk at the western edge of the Fire Island National Seashore was inspired by the sweeping vistas that reveal the shore’s protected dunes. Asking $3.3 million, the house has been more recently updated within Kaufman’s iconic design by a series of creative owners.
