Our clients, a young German couple wanted a highly efficient small contemporary home, reminiscent of something they might find where they grew up. From the very beginning of their project, they were both actively involved. They had a clear vision of what their house should look like and they wanted to actively take part in creating it. I worked with them on honing their ideas into a compact warm home with large windows to capture their amazing views of the Hudson River in upstate NY. From doing research on everything from windows to finishes, they were able to put their own special touches on the design of the house.
The house is Energy Star certified with its spray foam insulation and beautiful triple pane Rieder tilt & turn window and patio doors. The exterior finish is a traditional stucco, as found in Germany.
Inside, the owners ran an engineered ash throughout most of the house, with ceramic tile in the baths and entry. All the fixtures are Grohe, with the toilets being dual flush. All appliances are Energy Star certified. The Hearthstone Bari woodstove adds warmth in the winter and considering how tight the home is, it doesn’t take much.
The owners wanted something in the 1,900 sf range which is what I started out designing to, but during design development I realized if we simply added 2’ to the overall length, adding about 128 sf, the rooms would feel exponentially larger. They approved the change and it made all the difference in the feel of the spaces.
Not only was energy efficiency a standard in the design, but space efficiency was as well. The house is open and casual, with copious amounts of glass in the living and dining/kitchen area, framing the vista which is the Hudson River. High ceilings and a clerestory on the second floor make it seem larger and brings in additional light. The home contemporary and warm. The basement level is a walkout with potential for future expansion of the living space if the couple’s needs change in the future.
The staircase, with its open risers, is open to the living room and has a wall of windows at the exterior wall, making the overall space feel larger. There is also a stainless steel cable railing matching the exterior deck railing which is a simple but effective way to tie the interior to the exterior parts of the house.
The overall style has that classic German look, with the white stucco and red roof. I encouraged them to think about enhancing the front entry area with some cedar siding and it really makes the approach to the front door warm and welcoming.
