Who is William J. Reese?

William "Bill" Jerome Reese was an American born architect, whose most important works were built in or near the eastern end of Long Island, New York, specifically in the Hamptons area. Although the body of his work includes traditional, post modern and classic architectural styles, he is best known for his modern buildings, many being borderline brutalism. In his own words, his love of geometry, light and simplicity are demonstrated in all of his works. The success of his work was based on these principles regardless of the architectural style. Additionally, his creative use of materials permitted dramatic results while maintaining strict budgets.
