William J. Reese (architect)

William Jerome Reese (April 24, 1943 – November 30, 2011) was an American born architect, whose most important works were built in or near the eastern end of Long Island, New York,[1] specifically in the Hamptons area.

After receiving his professional certification in 1973, Bill spent several years working for architecture firms in the Charlottesville and Newport News area before relocating to La Jolla, California, in 1977.

[citation needed] Reese lived in one of Schindler's homes in the Pueblo Ribera complex in La Jolla, California in the early 1980s.

[citation needed] In 1982, Reese headed east to join his long-time friend and colleague Kirby Grimes and set up an office in Bridgehampton.

The house used off-the-shelf materials, and environmental features including a tall ventilation tower and a large concrete slab to provide radiant heat.
